Pakistan top-order batsman Babar Azam scored his first century in the Vitality T20 Blast to help Somerset register a 63-run win over Hampshire on Friday.

Azam played an unbeaten knock of 102 runs from 55 balls, which included seven fours and six maximums.

The 24-year-old is currently the leading run-scorer in the competition with 425 runs in eight matches at an average of 70 and a strike rate of 155.

Right-hand batsman’s rich vein of form and popularity among fans recently caused the Somerset’s website to crash, leading them to increase the website server capacity.
