Today proved to be a historic day for Somerset County Cricket Club.

For the first time since 1999, the county’s Cooper Associates County Ground played host to international cricket as England took on South Africa in the second of three T20 internationals.

England had not played at Taunton since the 1983 World Cup, when they overcame Sri Lanka, and the match saw the homecoming of Jos Buttler, who began his career with Somerset.

But there was to be no happy ending for the majority of the 12,500 capacity crowd, as South Africa edged out their hosts by just three runs in a thrilling match.

England looked to be cruising during their chase of 175 with Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow well set, but when Bairstow holed out and Roy was controversially given out for obstructing the field, the tide turned in the Proteas' favour.

Liam Dawson needed to hit a four off the final ball to win the match for England, but swung and missed as South Africa levelled the T20 series at 1-1.

The series decider takes place in Cardiff on Sunday.

Here was a historic day from Taunton as it unfolded.
