Lancashire and Glamorgan maintained their 100 per cent records with straightforward wins over Hampshire and Essex, but Surrey are still waiting for their first win in any competition after going down to Gloucestershire, despite a fighting 73 from Mark Ramprakash. In the second division, Durham completed a good week with a rousing 94-run drubbing of Worcestershire, thanks to hundreds from Marcus North and Paul Collingwood, but Leicestershire surrendered their unbeaten record with defeat by Nottinghamshire. At Edinburgh, a battling 88 from Sridharan Sriram was not enough to spare Scotland from a nine-wicket defeat by Middlesex, who were guided home thanks to an unbeaten 107 from Andrew Strauss.
