South African Thomas picked up 4-22 from eight overs

Alfonso Thomas ran through the Scotland lower order to help Somerset to a 37-run Friends Provident Trophy victory at The Grange.

Having been asked to bat, Somerset totalled 220-8 in their 50 overs thanks to contributions from Arul Suppiah (48) and Carl Kieswetter (42).

Another Edinburgh upset looked on the cards when the home side reached 128-4.

But the Scots, fresh from beating Kent, lost their last six wickets for 53 runs, with Thomas picking up 4-22.

The win ensures that Somerset go through to the quarter-finals unbeaten and are guaranteed a home tie having finished top of Group B.

Scotland finish bottom of the group, having recorded just one win from their eight games - Monday's triumph against Kent.
