Somerset needs to work hard says Marcus Trescothick

Somerset captain Marcus Trescothick says his side still has work to do, despite their comfortable five-wicket T20 win against Middlesex on Wednesday.

"We have a few things to work on. We need to make sure our top order keeps firing," he told BBC Radio Bristol.

Somerset's top four limped to a paltry 28 at Lord's, before new boy Kieron Pollard hit a superb 89 from 45 balls.

Pollard was a joy to watch, Trescothick said, but players need to work hard in Friday's game against Hampshire.

"If we do, it will be great viewing for the first six overs. Then you have people like Kieron coming in playing great cameos - we could get 350 at Taunton, he's going to hit it miles."

Trinidadian star Pollard's debut included an impressive seven fours and seven sixes - one hit clean over Lord's' pavilion.

Trescothick added: "It was enormous hitting. He was very clever in his placing and it was a joy to watch."

Friday's game at the Rose Bowl starts at 1900 BST.
