Kent 170 for 6 (Finch 53*, Abbott 3-16) beat Hampshire 168 (Abbott 37, Swanepoel 3-28) by four wickets
Harry Finch played an innings of Boycott-like obstinacy to see the Kent Spitfires home by four wickets in their Metro Bank Cup Group game with Hampshire at Beckenham.
Chasing 169 to win, Kent lurched to 96 for 6 before Finch and Charlie Stobo (32 not out) responded with an unbeaten partnership of 74.
Beyers Swanepoel had taken three for 28 as Hampshire were bowled out for 168 in 41 overs and they'd needed 37 from No.10 Kyle Abbott to give them a defensible total. Dom Kelly and Nick Gubbins were their next highest scorers with 32 each.

Somerset 241 for 9 (Goldsworthy 93, Coughlin 3-47) beat Durham 108 (Borthwick 35, Leach 6-26) by 133 runs
England might not need Jack Leach but Somerset certainly do. The England slow left-armer took 6 for 26 to lead his county to a 133-run victory over Durham in Wednesday's Metro-Bank One-Day Cup victory at the Riverside.
No one played Leach with any comfort on a pitch that was receptive to spin throughout the match, and his bowling ensured that Somerset defended 241 in some comfort to collect their second win in this season's competition.

Northern Superchargers 147 for 3 (Pooran 62) beat Southern Brave 146 for 8 (Pollard 37) by seven wickets
Nicholas Pooran smashed 62 from 34 deliveries to power Andrew Flintoff's Northern Superchargers to their first win in The Hundred this season.
Against an attack of Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills, Rehan Ahmed and Akeal Hosein, Pooran was dominant from the get-go - demonstrating both why he had been first pick in The Hundred Draft and also the power of using your own bat, having been forced to borrow Phil Salt's on his debut against Trent Rockets.

Gloucestershire 301 (Bancroft 100, Hammond 51, McKerr 4-32, Steel 4-61) beat Surrey 264 (Patel 87, Blake 50, Taylor 4-44) by 37 runs
Cameron Bancroft's 100 from 109 balls was backed up by an excellent bowling effort as Gloucestershire opened their Metro Bank One-Day Cup account with a convincing 37-run victory against Surrey at the Kia Oval.
A defiant 87 from 96 balls by Ryan Patel, and 50 off 45 from Josh Blake, could not prevent Surrey from reaching only 264 in reply to Gloucestershire's 301 all out, in which Miles Hammond had also made 51 and skipper Jack Taylor an explosive 44 with five sixes.

Northern Superchargers 100 for 7 (Davidson-Richard's 27, Bell 4-11) tied with Southern Brave 100 for 8 (Tryon 25, Smith 2-24)
Kate Cross scrambled two runs off the final ball to level the scores and secure a tie between Northern Superchargers and Southern Brave in the Hundred.
On a slow and used wicket, boundary-hitting never looked easy and Superchargers' chase of 100 was a nervous and fraught affair throughout, off the back of a first-innings batting effort from Southern Brave that was equally scrappy.

India won the Super Over
India won the Super Over
In one of the most bizarre finishes to a T20I, India beat Sri Lanka in the Super Over to complete a 3-0 whitewash in Pallekele.
For the majority of the match, Sri Lanka outplayed India in all three departments but they had a great fall towards the end. They needed just nine from the last two overs with six wickets in hand. Rinku Singh, who had never bowled previously in T20Is, sent down the 19th over, conceded just three runs, and picked up two wickets.

Trent Rockets 145 for 7 beat Manchester Originals 144 for 8 by one run
Jordan Thompson stole the show and the match at Emirates Old Trafford, defending two runs from the final three balls of the game to secure Trent Rockets an improbable victory over Manchester Originals.
On a day of last-ball finishes - after Originals women won the first game of the day by one run - it was once again the bowling side who ended up on top at the death when many may have been backing the batting side.
