At Headingley, chasing 162 against Yorkshire, Overton blasted a career-best 78 not out off just 29 balls, smashing eight fours and five sixes to snatch a two-wicket victory from the jaws of defeat. Somerset’s hopes had dimmed significantly at 82 for eight in the 15th over, but Overton’s explosive innings recalibrated the game — he smashed 22 runs off the final over bowled by Matthew Revis to seal the win with a ball to spare.
