Nicholas Pooran smashed 66 from just 33 balls, including eight sixes, to inspire a memorable comeback victory for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred. But it was a suspected hamstring injury to England men's Test captain Ben Stokes that brought his arrival to the crease.

These included Ollie Robinson, who has been short of cricket lately. Sussex want to get him match fit for next week's crucial championship fixture against Yorkshire.

Essex 219 for 3 (Das 100*, Thain 83) beat Nottinghamshire 218 (Montgomery 52, Richards 5-31) by seven wickets
Nottinghamshire Outlaws' hopes of reaching the knock-out phases of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup were ended when an Essex side who were already eliminated still pulled off a crushing victory by seven wickets at Trent Bridge.

His best figures in all cricket halted an Outlaws surge to 96 for 1 and later helped induce a plummet from 163 for 4 to 218 all out despite Ben Slater's 47 and 52 from South African Matt Montgomery.
