Kolher-Cadmore also praised Abell for also being “outstanding” during the Essex win as Somerset extended their lead at the top of the South Group table, 12 points clear of Surrey who have played two games fewer.

“That’s one thing that we look at as a team is how well we’re actually contributing,” he said.

“It’s not always an individual having a great night it’s how do I contribute and get that guy on strike, or keep the team going forward, and I felt his [Abell’s] knock was just as crucial.”

Somerset won the 2023 Blast title but were beaten in the final last season by neighbours Gloucestershire.

They have three group matches remaining away to Kent and Surrey on 11 and 13 July, and then at home to Gloucestershire on 18 July before a break until the quarter-finals in the first week of September.

“If we perform anything like we can, we can beat any team in this division and in this competition,” Kohler-Cadmore.

“It’s making sure we keep putting our performances in and keep building towards the back end of the tournament.”
