Dagnall defies Notts at Grace Road

There weren't many close finishes in the latest round of Twenty20 Cup matches, as Kent, Leicestershire, Somerset, Derbyshire and Hampshire all collected the points in their matches.

At Canterbury, an unbeaten 48 from Matthew Walker and 36 from Rob Key helped Kent to 163 for 6 against Sussex, who then bombed to 116 all out with Ian Butler taking 3 for 19 as Sussex went down by 47 runs. Darren Stevens hit a quick 31 in Leicestershire's 150 for 7 at Grace Road, which was enough to beat Nottinghamshire. They crashed to 110 all out as Charlie Dagnall came up trumps with 4 for 22.

A rapid 51 from only 32 balls by James Hildreth, along with 47 from Keith Dutch, boosted Somerset to 178 for 6 against Worcestershire at Taunton. An unbeaten half-century from David Leatherdale wasn't good enough for Worcestershire, who were pegged back by Aaron Laraman. He finished with the impressive figures of 4 for 15.

At the Rose Bowl, a blistering 52 from 22 balls by Dimitri Mascarenhas and a quick 46 from Michael Clarke helped Hampshire to victory against Middlesex. Hampshire posted a healthy 170 for 7, and Middlesex couldn't keep up with the rate, despite an unbeaten 35 from Lance Klusener.

James Bryant guided Derbyshire to victory against Durham at Chester-le-Street. After Durham struggled to 117 for 9, Bryant made sure the result was never in doubt with a run-a-ball 41 as Derbyshire cruised home with an over and a half to spare.
