Colin Ingram impressed with bat and ball as Glamorgan beat Somerset by seven wickets in Cardiff to reach the quarter-finals of the NatWest T20 Blast.

The South African turned in career-best bowling figures of 3-20 as the visitors were dismissed for 152 in 19.3 overs, before hitting 54 from 37 balls as Glamorgan prevailed with two overs to spare.

Middlesex, who have also qualified from the South Group, crushed struggling Hampshire by 43 runs - George Bailey (76) and John Simpson (54) starring with the blade before Ryan Higgins took 5-13.

Kent Spitfires now need other results to go their way after losing to Essex Eagles by 33 runs in Canterbury - Tom Westley (74no) and Ravi Bopara (51no) too hot for the hosts to handle.

Kent, Essex, Surrey and Sussex are locked on 12 points in the battle to join Glamorgan, Gloucestershire and Middlesex in the last eight, after Surrey beat Sussex by wickets at The Oval.

In the North Group, meanwhile, Nottinghamshire Outlaws qualified for the last-eight with a six-wicket win over Birmingham Bears at Edgbaston.
