Durham made it two wins in two this weekend, their big 117-run win at Chester-le-Street pushing Derbyshire down to third after Yorkshire also won. Durham posted a mighty 297 for 7 after choosing to bat, Michael di Venuto weighing in with a century and Will Smith a fifty, which proved far too daunting for the visitors. Gareth Breese shot them down with 5 for 41, while Steve Harmison's economy helped; his five overs went for 18.Team | Mat | Won | Lost | Tied | N/R | Pts | Net RR | For | Against |

Tabletoppers Kent are in the quarter-finals, even after torrential overnight rain left the outfield under water, washing out their game against Middlesex at Tunbridge Wells. Middlesex can no longer qualify. Essex also made the last eight after picking up a point from a would-be fixture with Sussex - who were already out of the competition - that was abandoned after the third inspection at 2pm. It was to have been Hastings' first match in eight years.Team | Mat | Won | Lost | Tied | N/R | Pts | Net RR | For | Against |

Hampshire were denied a final stab at glory when rained washed out their tussle with Glamorgan at the Rose Bowl 45 minutes before the scheduled noon start. Hampshire needed a win to keep their quarter-final hopes kindled while Glamorgan were already out, with only one win. Gloucestershire are guaranteed a home quarter-final after rain washed out proceedings in Bath half an hour before the start and Somerset are still in the hunt for a place in the last eight.Team | Mat | Won | Lost | Tied | N/R | Pts | Net RR | For | Against |
