London Spirit 186 for 4 (Williamson 53, Smith 44) beat Southern Brave 139 (Roy 37, Evans 37, Dawson 3-23, Gleeson 3-30) by 47 runs
London Spirit are just about still alive in the Hundred after an emphatic win over Southern Brave took them level with their opponents on 12 points and meant that both are still within reach of the third qualifying spot as the men's competition heads into its defining week.
Spirit's win meant that Oval Invincibles and Northern Superchargers have now qualified for the knockout stages, while Trent Rockets can lock in the third and final qualification spot with a win over Welsh Fire in Cardiff on Sunday afternoon. Spirit and Brave both need Rockets to lose their final two games, to win their own last fixtures, and even then would be reliant on Net Run-Rates.

Northern Superchargers 198 for 4 (Brook 56, Crawley 49) beat Oval Invincibles 182 for 7 (Ferreira 41, Lawes 2-22) by 16 runs
The blockbuster tie at Headingley between the Hundred's top two saw Northern Superchargers overcome the Oval Invincibles with a spectacular six-hitting blitz from Harry Brook and Zak Crawley.
In a competition which has tended to favour teams who chase, the Superchargers bucked the trend, going hard immediately to set an ultimately insurmountable target. Crawley was irresistible, smacking three maximums and five fours in his 25-ball stay, only miscuing a Nathan Sowter legbreak to long-off with a fifty at his mercy.

Southern Brave 126 for 2 (Wolvaardt 56*, Wong 2-34) beat London Spirit 125 for 8 (Griffith 44, Villiers 3-38) by eight wickets
Southern Brave made it seven wins in a row in this year's The Hundred women's competition with a resounding victory over London Spirit at Lord's, underscored by a superb partnership of 95 between Maia Bouchier and the stylish South African superstar, Laura Wolvaardt.
The result, achieved with six balls to spare, leaves the Spirit hanging on in their quest to break into the final top three. After an uneven performance with the bat - only Cordelia Griffith, Charli Knott and Georgia Redmayne managed double figures - followed by a luckless run in the field, they will have to win their final match against the Invincibles on Monday and hope that other results go their way.

Northern Superchargers 127 for 3 (Davidson-Richards 50, Litchfield 29) beat Oval Invincibles 125 for 6 (Winfield-Hill 37, Cross 2-16) by seven wickets
Northern Superchargers solidified their position in the top three of the women's competition of The Hundred with a comfortable win over a misfiring Oval Invincibles, whose hopes of staging a late run to the knockout stages lay in ruins after a maiden tournament half-century for Alice Davidson-Richards and another brilliant cameo from Phoebe Litchfield.
A win here doesn't quite confirm the Superchargers' progression - London Spirit, in fourth, could yet haul them in - but the result does end the Invincibles' slim chances of featuring come the business end.

Guyana Amazon Warriors 211 for 3 (Hope 82, Hetmyer 65, Imad 1-20) beat Antigua and Barbuda Falcons 128 (Gore 31, Tahir 5-21, Shepherd 2-16, Pretorius 2-44) by 83 runs
Captain Imran Tahir turned back the clock with a sensational five-wicket haul as Guyana Amazon Warriors stormed to their second consecutive win in CPL 2025, dismantling Antigua and Barbuda Falcons by 83 runs in a rain-hit match in North Sound.
Chasing a steep target of 212 for their third win, Falcons were not allowed to settle at any point after a flying start, thanks largely to Tahir's spell of 5 for 21. Falcons raced to 58 runs in the first four overs but lost both openers - Rahkeem Cornwall and Jewel Andrew - in the process, both to Dwaine Pretorius.

Gloucestershire 343 for 7 (Bracey 186) beat Nottinghamshire 291 (Hameed 80, Haynes 57) by 52 runs
Gloucestershire confirmed their qualification for the knockout stages of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup, making it six wins from six matches after James Bracey pummelled Notts Outlaws with a magnificent 186, the highest individual score of the 2025 competition to date.
The 28-year-old wicketkeeper-batter - dropped on 58 - numbered six sixes and 20 fours in an exhilarating 150-ball innings and though no other Gloucestershire batter made fifty, with skipper Cameron Bancroft's 46 the next highest score, the Group A leaders still piled up 343 for 7 in their 50 overs.

A career-best List A score of 110 not out from Rob Jones guided Worcestershire Rapids to an important five-wicket win over Glamorgan which keeps them on track for a quarter-final place in the Metro Bank One Day Cup.
Asa Tribe had earlier batted through Glamorgan's innings for 122 in his side's impressive total of 297 and the visitors looked to be in control early in the reply as they reduced the hosts to 78 for 3.

Welsh Fire claimed their first win of the Hundred's fifth season at the sixth time of asking as Aussie allrounder Jess Jonassen inspired them to a comprehensive victory over Birmingham Phoenix at Edgbaston to end their hosts' slim hopes of progressing to the Eliminator.
Fire, last year's runners-up, were playing for pride after five straight defeats extinguished their hopes of a top-three finish and they produced comfortably their best performance of the campaign so far, Jonassen delivering fireworks with the bat before returning figures of 3 for 24.
