Peter Trego's career-best 147 and a blistering 90 not out from Jos Buttler clinched Somerset a home semi-final in the Clydesdale Bank 40 with a 249-run thrashing of Glamorgan in their final Group A match at Taunton.

The home side's total of 368 for four after winning the toss was their highest ever 40-over score. Trego hit 19 fours and five sixes, while Buttler faced only 33 balls and smashed eight fours and seven sixes.

There was also an unbeaten 58 from James Hildreth as Glamorgan's injury-hit attack was put to the sword. David Harrison's eight overs cost exactly 100.

In reply the hapless visitors crashed to 59 for six as Ben Phillips ripped through their top order. In the end they were bowled out for 119 to lose by an embarrassing margin. Phillips finished with four for 31 from six overs.

Trego is determined to win a place with the England Performance Squad this winter. The 29-year-old all-rounder made the most of Craig Kieswetter's absence on international Twenty20 duty to open the batting with Marcus Trescothick and almost double his previous best one-day score of 78.

That dauting total was too much for Glamorgan, who did not even have their own big-hitter Mark Cosgrove in the side to reply. They batted like a side with no chance and a string of ill-judged shots saw them dismissed in just 23.3 overs.

Ben Wright top scored with 36 off 34 balls, while Murali Kartik claimed three for 23. It was the most one-sided of games and Somerset's biggest winning margin by runs in 40-over cricket.
