Archie Vaughan, the 18-year-old son of former England captain Michael, made six from 106 to derail Surrey’s quest for a third successive league title and revive Somerset’s hopes of a first-ever title.
Vaughan partnered England left-handed spinner Jack Leach to take all 10 Surrey wickets – and looked no less menacing by comparison on a pitch that turned but not overly so, as the champion leaders took a first-innings lead of just four runs.
Young Vaughan starts his run by lifting his heels and struts towards the bowling crease, much like his father, but he has a more compact action – his right arm tight to the body at the start of the delivery stride – and puts more bite into his breaks. The son had taken three wickets in his only previous league match; the father, definitely a batsman who bowled, took no more than four wickets in an innings.
The highlight of Leach-Vaughan’s performance was the dismissal of Shakib al-Hasan, the star Bangladesh all-rounder whom Surrey brought in for this one game – in the reasonable hope that if they did not lose this game to Somerset they would retain their title again, such was their points lead.
Vaughan, in his first over against one of the world’s best batsmen against spin, was clipped for four and swept for a single but also beat Shakib with two consecutive off-breaks that went past the left-hander’s outside edge and caught him out.
Then Shakib, in his one and only game for Surrey, after doubts raised by Vaughan, ran down the field and fired the ball back to Leach.
As Surrey retreated from their overnight 169 for three, Leach and Vaughan briefly resorted to an old ball before taking the second, which bounced and turned quicker.
Vaughan, who had taken all three wickets of the night, dismissed Ben Foakes, who spent many hours defending against spin in Asia. From the wicket, Vaughan caught him pushing forward with a catch at short leg, although Foakes threw his head back before accepting the verdict.
In Surrey’s 95th over, Vaughan took two wickets without controversy: Jordan Clark bowled a catch towards diving mid-wicket and then, again from the wicket, Vaughan flicked a ball straight past a hesitant Cameron Steel to hit the off stump. Both are former Millfield boys, Steel from an older generation.
Tom Curran made some bold attacking shots against Vaughan, who was operating from the old pavilion. This led to an extraordinary decision: Vaughan was replaced by part-time left-handed spinner Lewis Goldsworthy, and Curran hit him for three sixes in his only over.
The older Curran, in his first league match for two years, took advantage of the opportunity to accelerate to 86 from just 74 balls before being caught at long-on by Leach attempting his ninth six.
