One-Day Cup: Goldsworthy helps Somerset beat Leicestershire to reach final

Somerset centurion Lewis Goldsworthy told BBC Radio Somerset:

“At the start of the day if anyone had said we would score 340 we’d have taken it, especially batting first.

“We paced our innings really well and also closed it out well at the end. Having wickets in hand helped a lot.

“The pitch was tough and you needed to take 20 or 25 balls to get in. James Rew and I did that and the more we faced, the more we adjusted.

“I’d say it was the best I have played in one-day cricket. Rewy and I have batted together a lot – and the right-hand, left-hand combination helps.”

Leicestershire centurion Peter Handscomb told BBC Radio Leicester:

“Somerset batted really well, laying a platform in the first 30 overs from which they were able to accelerate.

“It’s good to see Goldy making runs, but a shame it was against us. We really enjoyed having him at our club on loan.

“If the opportunity came to do so again we would grab it with both hands. He is such a good kid and works really hard on his game, so I’m happy for him.

“It was great to win this trophy last year. This season, with more players going off to The Hundred, the strength in depth has been evident. Other guys came in and did well and the club is in great shape going forward.”
