Former Somerset captain Tom Abell hit a career-best 152 not out as his side completed a superb run chase to beat winless Warwickshire by five wickets at Taunton.
After the Bears had declared on their overnight score of 281-8, Tom Banton (81), James Rew (57 not out) and Tom Kohler-Cadmore (49) all weighed in with important knocks as the hosts reached 413-5 with 4.2 overs to spare.
Somerset’s third County Championship win of the season – after the second-highest match-winning fourth-innings run chase in their history – lifted them to second in the table, 23 points behind defending champions Surrey.
Warwickshire’s third defeat in nine games, to go with six draws, leaves them just five points clear of neighbours Worcestershire, who are in ninth, in the first of the two relegation places.
The County Championship now takes a seven-week break before returning in late August.
