Chris Jordan needed three from the final ball to win, and hit Matt Parkinson for four
Somerset chased down 230 in the final over to maintain their 100% record in the T20 Blast on an astonishing night of South Group action when more than 1,200 runs were scored in three matches.
Last year's runners-up made it four wins from four as Sean Dickson's 76 and Lewis Gregory's unbeaten 58 from 23 deliveries helped them past Middlesex, for whom Max Holden and Ben Geddes had shared 131 from 63 balls in the biggest T20 total by an away side at Taunton of 229-5.
At the Oval, Chris Jordan produced a vintage display for Surrey, taking 4-10, his best figures in more than 300 club matches, and then hitting the final ball for four to earn a thrilling four-wicket win over Kent.
Elsewhere Will Smale's career-best 65 in Glamorgan's 220-6 helped them to a thumping win at Essex, who remain pointless at the foot of the table after five games.
After being asked to bat first at Taunton, Stephen Eskinazi (17 from 12) and Kane Williamson (28 from 17) gave Middlesex a solid platform, reaching 52-2 from 34 balls, a platform which Holden and Geddes built upon.
The pair added 100 for the third wicket from the next 47 deliveries, with Geddes smashing five sixes in a 25-ball half-century and Holden following suit a little later from 30 balls, with five fours and one maximum.
Geddes eventually departed for a career-best 69 from 32 balls, trying for his eighth six, only to miscue Riley Meredith to Matt Henry at long-off.
Leus du Plooy followed from the next ball, caught in the deep but Ryan Higgins cracked the hat-trick ball to the deep square boundary.
Meredith got his revenge at the end of the 19th over, having Higgins caught behind for 11, to finish with 4-46.
Holden finished unbeaten on 87 from 47 balls, with a dozen fours and a six, while Jack Davies hit a six off Ben Green in the final over – Middlesex's 12th of the innings – as the visitors posted 229-5.
Somerset began positively but lost Will Smeed, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Tom Banton and it was 88-4 in the ninth over when Tom Abell slog-swept a boundary catch off Luke Hollman to depart for 24.
But Dickson, back from a broken finger, moved to a 24-ball half-century with a reverse-sweep for six off Zafar Gohar. Gregory was then caught off a Hollman no-ball as 18 came off the 13th over and the home side still had hope.
Dickson smashed Noah Cornwell for a straight six and Gregory rode his luck further when dropped on the boundary by Du Plooy off Gohar, hitting three sixes in the same over. After Dickson holed out to long-off for 76 from 38 balls to end a 104-run stand in nine overs, the Somerset skipper hit his fifth maximum to bring up a 21-ball half-century.
Ben Green was dropped by Du Plooy again off Tom Helm in the penultimate over before another Gregory six completed a remarkable victory.
