After losing the toss, Northamptonshire posted a modest total of 162 for eight. Lewis McManus was the standout performer for the visitors, scoring a career-best 76 off just 43 balls, with seven fours and four sixes. However, Somerset bowlers, led by Daniel Sams who took three wickets for 16 runs in four overs, applied disciplined pressure to restrict the Steelbacks.
