Sussex bowler Henry Crocombe took a hat-trick against Somerset this week, effectively ending the visitors' innings. While BBC Sport focuses on the immediate impact to Somerset's pursuit of a first-ever County Championship title, ESPNcricinfo highlights the statistical milestone of Crocombe securing his second five-wicket haul in first-class cricket.
