September 10, 2026 · ESPN Cricinfo

Somerset maintained their position at the summit of the table by completing a dominant victory against Leicestershire inside three days. The platform for success was established by Nicholls, who smoothly compiled a maiden hundred in Championship cricket.

Following that milestone with the bat, the bowling attack took total control of the fixture. Overton and Leach spearheaded the effort with the ball, dismantling the Leicestershire lineup to secure the emphatic result.
