Somerset teenager Archie Vaughan had a debut to remember as he was part of a winning side against Kent.
The son of former England skipper Michael Vaughan was making his county debut at the age of 18, fresh from appearing on England Under-19 duty.
And Vaughan certainly had an interesting experience, bowling six tidy overs of off-spin for just 16 runs before then out being unluckily run out backing up without facing a ball when Australian Charlie Stobo finger-tipped Andy Umeed’s drive onto the stumps.
On a day when the four remaining sides who were yet to feature in the competition all played for the first time, two claimed their first wins.
Hampshire, thanks largely to 139 not out from Ben Brown, and Somerset, for whom opener Umeed hit a ton were both winners in Group A.
“I felt terrible about Archie Vaughan being run out backing up without facing, having bowled so well,” Umeed told BBC Radio Somerset.
“It was actually quite a good shot I played and just one of those things. I just tried to put it out of my mind and concentrate on completing the job and scoring a hundred.”
