David Willey revealed that watching a confident Somerset looking like they had already won their Vitality Blast semi-final at the half-way stage fired him up when the Steelbacks came to bowl.
Player-of-the-match Willey duly struck with the very first ball of the Somerset run chase as the West Country side chased a modest 144 to win. Willey had England international Tom Banton caught behind and then removed Thomas Rew as Somerset lost three wickets in the first three overs.
