Yorkshire edge home in final over

Yorkshire edged to a two-wicket win against Nottinghamshire with one ball left, as Richard Dawson made six from the first two deliveries he faced. Ian Harvey was at his Twenty20 best, smashing 74 from 32 balls, but when he fell Notts fought their way back into the match. Chris Read had earlier top-scored for Notts, making 43, after the top-order had been dismissed by Tim Bresnan.

Leicestershire held their nerve to seal a three-run win against Durham at Grace Road. A target of 152 was within Durham's reach but Jeremy Snape produced another fine spell of offspin, taking 3 for 24. Charl Willoughby also kept a lid on the scoring rate, conceding 17 runs from his spell. HD Ackerman was the mainstay of Leicestershire's innings with 56, but no one else reached 20.

Phil Weston guided Gloucestershire to a five-wicket win over Worcestershire with 73 from 55 balls. Mark Alleyne helped him add 46 for the sixth wicket as they had two balls to spare. Zander de Bruyn led Worcestershire's recovery from 24 for 3, making 76 off 59 balls. Steve Kirby had the impressive figures of 2 for 15 from his four overs.

The Flower brothers played a major role in Essex's 43-run win over Sussex at Chelmsford. Andy was the main contributor to the Essex total of 151 for 5, making 59, then Grant chipped in with three important wickets as Sussex never threatened the target. Ryan ten Doeschate boosted Essex's total with 42, and his runs proved important in the final outcome.
