Marcus Trescothick set the tone for this Somerset victory with his 17 ball 34.

Hildreth hit the winning run with an over to spare.

Worcestershire Royals

Solanki c Langer b Willoughby 21

Davies lbw b Willoughby 1

Moore c Thomas b Trego 40

Moeen run out 36

Smith run out 44

Noffke b Thomas 15

Batty c de Bruyn b Thomas 4

FoW: 1-3, 2-45, 3-82, 4-129, 5-155, 6-171, 7-176, 8-176

Ben Smith made the most of being dropped on eight as he topped scored for the Royals in their decent knock at Taunton with more than a 100 coming off the final 10 overs.

The veteran batsman was one of three solid contributions from the Worcestershire middle order as they look to make it four wins in a row.

However, they will have to look at their running between the wickets after two pointless run outs.

Somerset have won the toss and have opted to field.

Somerset Sabres: Trescothick, Kieswetter (wkt), Hildreth, de Bruyn, Langer, Trego, Suppiah, Phillips, Waller, Thomas, Willoughby.

Worcestershire Royals: Solanki (capt), Davies (wkt), Moore, Moeen, Smith, Mitchell, Noffke, Batty, Kabir, Andrew, Whelan.
