South Division
Kent's third win of the campaign, by five wickets over Sussex at Canterbury with three overs to spare, was overshadowed by a freak injury to Sussex's Chris Nash which left him with a suspected broken leg. The incident happened when Nash and Dwayne Smith collided when trying to catch a top edge from Geraint Jones. There was a 15-minute delay as paramedics treated Nash and he was taken to hospital by ambulance. Sussex's total of 133 never looked enough, and Jones smacked a 39-ball 56 before edging to the keeper with the scores level.
North Division
Lancashire remained top of the division with their fourth straight win, easily beating Leicestershire by seven wickets at Grace Road with almost four overs in hand. James Allenby provided the backbone of the Leicestershire innings with 71, and briefly that appeared as if it might be enough as Lancashire slipped to 47 for 3. But Francois du Plessis hammered an unbeaten 78, including 13 fours and two sixes, in an unbeaten fourth-wicket stand of 104 with Ashwell Prince.
