Somerset 149 for 4 (J Rew 46, T Rew 40*) beat Gloucestershire 155 (Taylor 43, Lammonby 3-22) by six wickets DLS
Somerset romped through to the Metro Bank One-Day Cup semi-finals with a comprehensive six-wicket victory over arch-rivals Gloucestershire at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton.
The visitors were bowled out for a disappointing 155 in 40.5 overs after winning the toss, skipper Jack Taylor top-scoring with 43. There were three wickets each for Jake Ball and Tom Lammonby, while Jack Leach sent down ten overs of left-arm spin for miserly figures of 2 for 23.

Trinbago Knight Riders 152 for 2 (Carty 60, Hales 55*, Shakib 1-25) beat Antigua and Barbuda Falcons 146 for 7 (Andrew 40, Imad 37, Usama 34, Amir 3-22, Russell 2-23, Hosein 2-25) by eight wickets
Nicholas Pooran finished the game with a huge six off Jayden Seales with eight balls and eight wickets in the bank, but Trinbago Knight Riders' jinx-breaking win over Antigua and Barbuda Falcons (they had lost all three games prior to this one) on Wednesday night in CPL 2025 had been all-but confirmed well before that.
First, by Mohammad Amir, Andre Russell and Akeal Hosein, who picked up seven wickets between them to set up a chase of 147. And then by a partnership worth 87 runs between Alex Hales and Keacy Carty for the second wicket, which took its time (73 balls), but Knight Riders were never in a hurry.

Trent Rockets geared up for their Eliminator showdown with Northern Superchargers by sneaking past Birmingham Phoenix with one ball to spare after a memorable debut in The Hundred for Ben Cox and an eye-catching all-round display from Rehan Ahmed.
The Rockets confirmed their second-place finish in the group, behind Oval Invincibles on net run rate, and will go into Saturday evening's contest at the Kia Oval full of confidence after claiming their sixth win in eight.

Trent Rockets 126 for 7 (Sciver-Brunt 52) beat Birmingham Phoenix 123 for 6 (Lamb 56*, Gordon 2-24) by three wickets
Trent Rockets concluded their campaign with a third successive win, Nat Sciver-Brunt's third half-century of the competition setting up a nervy three-wicket victory over Birmingham Phoenix to nudge her team up to fourth in the table.
Sciver-Brunt finished as the leading run-scorer in last summer's women's competition and the England skipper's thrilling innings of 52 from 29 balls at Trent Bridge moved her up to second place in this season's batting charts, behind Meg Lanning of Oval Invincibles.

Oshane Thomas concedes 33 runs in a ten-ball over (the 15th of the Amazon Warriors innings) - the most expensive figures by a St Lucia Kings bowler in the CPL

St Lucia Kings 203 for 6 (Auguste 73, Seifert 37, Motie 2-32, Blades 2-35) beat Guyana Amazon Warriors 202 for 6 (Shepherd 73*, Iftikhar 33, McDermott 30, Gaston 2-57) by four wickets
Twenty-one-year-old Ackeem Auguste enthralled the St Lucia Kings home fans, with his family members in attendance, by smashing 73 off just 35 balls which scripted their four-wicket win over Guyana Amazon Warriors in their CPL 2025 match on Tuesday.
Kings' lower order added the finishing touches in the chase of 203, sealed by captain David Wiese with 11 balls to spare, which helped them jump to second place, only one point behind Antigua and Barbuda Falcons with one game in hand. Only three points separate five out of the six teams now after Kings made it 3-0 over Warriors in their most recent contests. It was also the first time in the CPL that Amazon Warriors have scored 200-plus and lost, winning each of the last ten times they got there.

Manchester Originals 140 for 3 (Buttler 70, Ravindra 47*) beat Northern Superchargers 139 for 8 (Patel 42, Aspinwall 3-17) by seven wickets
With the return of Sir James Anderson to the Manchester Originals' line-up, there was an extra frisson at Headingley for the local derby as the Northern Superchargers looked to record eight wins from eight for the women and men at their northern fortress. Alas for Harry Brook's side, although they will still be in the Eliminator at the Kia Oval on Saturday, it was not to be.
Starting on the same points total as the Trent Rockets but with a significant deficit in net run rate, the Superchargers were looking for a big win to give themselves a decent chance of finishing second in the group stages.

Glamorgan 278 for 3 (Tribe 131*, Smale 83*) beat Leicestershire 274 (Hill 81, Norton 3-41, Franco 3-59) by seven wickets
Youngsters prevailed for Glamorgan against Leicestershire, to secure a consolation victory at the end of a sour, bottom-placed title defence of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup.
Asa Tribe's second century in as many games backed up figures of 3 for 41 and 3 for 59 from 18-year-old pair Tom Norton, on debut, and Romano Franco respectively. Norton's career got off to an impressive start as he dismissed Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood for a first professional wicket.

Worcestershire Rapids secured a home semi-final in the Metro Bank One Day Cup after cantering to a six-wicket win over Surrey at Visit Worcestershire New Road.
Making an unexpected appearance, Gus Atkinson top-scored for the visitors with 60, but Worcestershire's bowlers took wickets with frequency to restrict their opponents to 266 for 6.

Middlesex 292 for 9 (Fernandes 92, Morgan 61, de Caires 50, Singh 4-27) beat Lancashire 291 for 8 (Harris 64, Blatherwick 48*, Hollman 2-30, Brookes 2-57) by one wicket
Nathan Fernandes' brilliant 92 off 79 balls helped Middlesex conjure an extraordinary one-wicket over Lancashire in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup, a result that also ensures the visitors qualified for the quarter-finals of the competition.
But the bland facts tell only half the story. Coming to the wicket with his side in the toils on 105 for five and needing another 186 runs, Fernandes put on 126 for the seventh wicket with Seb Morgan and despite being caught on the boundary in the final over, went on watch Noah Cornwell clinch the victory on an evening that recalled the great limited-overs matches on this ground.

Sussex 277 for 9 (Clark 82, Hannon-Dalby 3-53) beat Warwickshire 258 (Barnard 82, Davies 74, Lenham 5-48) by 21 runs (D/L)
Warwickshire suffered Metro Bank One-Day Cup heartbreak after a 21-run (D/L) home defeat to Sussex caused qualification to slip through their fingers.
In a match reduced to 48 overs per side, Sussex totalled 277 for nine with only Tom Clark (82 from 77 balls) building an innings beyond the cameo stage. Olly Hannon-Dalby's three for 53 was well-supported by the spinners who shared five wickets.
