Edgebaston, Birmingham (GenevaLunch) – West Indian batsman Dwayne Smith smashed 59 runs off just 26 balls to set up a 63 run victory over Somerset in the final of the Twenty20 Cup.

In the semi-finals Marcus Trescothick scored a half century in 27 balls for Somerset as they cruised past Kent. Unfortunately, England will not be calling on his services for the last Ashes Test of the series, and have chosen to replace Ravi Bopara by giving Wawrickshire batsman Jonathan Trott a chance to make his debut. The 27-year-old is another in the long line of English cricketers born in South Africa.
