Somerset Sabres begin their Twenty20 Cup title defence this evening (Thursday) as they take on bitter rivals Gloucestershire Gladiators at 7 pm - and cricket fans can watch it on YouTube.

The game will also be live Tweeted and supporters can now follow the Cidermen on social media using the handle @SomersetCCC to keep up with the latest news.

Ahead of tonight's game, Somerset's Justin Langer said: I actually hadn't played a Twenty20 game until I was down at Exmouth the day after I had arrived over here from Australia.

"I can assure you though that it's so much fun being an opening batsman and be able to go out there with a bit of freedom to hit some fours and sixes."
