Yorkshire shot out for 54

Glamorgan, the defending National League champions, strolled to their second win in as many days, overhauling Kent's 192 for 9 with 8.4 overs to spare. It was a good day for Robert Croft, Glamorgan's stand-in captain, who followed his 3 for 33 with a rapid 59. Michael Powell added 58, then Matthew Maynard took his side home with 39* from 38 balls. Earlier Robert Key clouted 68 for Kent, but apart from Ed Smith (33) and Geraint Jones (31), no-one else hung around for long.

Gloucestershire came out on top on a high-scoring day in which 565 runs were scored. Gloucs ran up 311 for 4 in their 45 overs. Phil Weston anchored the innings with 92, including 10 fours. He put on 139 with Craig Spearman, who bashed a quickfire 89 from 66 balls, with nine fours and four sixes, and 100 with Tim Hancock, who blasted six sixes himself in an equally rapid 82. Charlie Dagnall (3 for 52) proved to be something of a brake, but the target was always too big for Leicestershire, especially once Virender Sehwag departed for 1. Darren Stevens continued his good form with a run-a-ball 65, then Phil DeFreitas hit out for 90 from only 64 balls, with eight fours and four sixes, as Leicestershire reached 254 to go down fighting by 57 runs - their third defeat in three National League outings this season. Martyn Ball, the offspinner, came in for some punishment but finished with 3 for 59.

Surrey may have made a sketchy start in the County Championship, but there's nothing wrong with their one-day form: they recorded their third National League win out of three at New Road. But it was close. After restricting Worcs to 244 for 5 - Graeme Hick smacked a quick 81 from 67 balls, and Kadeer Ali added 52 - Surrey seemed to be skating home at 209 for 3. Ally Brown (81) and Mark Ramprakash (67) put on 153 for the second wicket, but Kabir Ali (3 for 43) and Nantie Hayward (3 for 66) upset the applecart. It was left to last man James Ormond to hit the winning boundary and keep up the 100% record.

It was a calamitous day for Yorkshire, who crashed to their lowest score in any form of one-day cricket, 54 all out (their previous-lowest was 56, in a Sunday League match at Edgbaston in 1995) to lose by 157 runs. It could have been even worse: Yorkshire were 24 for 7 before Ryan Sidebottom clouted 17 not out to become the only man in double figures. The damage was done by medium-pacer Graham Napier, with 4 for 18, and Scott Brant (4 for 25). Earlier Essex had managed 211 for 6 in their 45 overs, with Will Jefferson (57) and Aftab Habib(50) both making half-centuries. Just to complete Yorkshire's miserable day, Darren Gough limped off after bowling only 3.1 overs, with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. It isn't, however, thought to be a recurrence of the injuries that restricted him so much last year.

Durham were beaten by Scotland yesterday, and Lancashire completed a miserable Bank Holiday weekend for them by waltzing to a straightforward five-wicket victory. Gary Pratt made an undefeated 66, but Andy Flintoff (3 for 46) and Durham old boy John Wood (2 for 42) ensured that the eventual target wouldn't be too taxing. Lancashire made a sticky start, but overhauled Durham's 186 for 8 with 16 balls to spare, with Alec Swann (73*) pacing his innings to perfection. That man Flintoff rounded things off with a 24-ball 42, 38 of which came in boundaries.

Middlesex maintained their 100% record in the National League this season with an exciting last-gasp victory when Ben Hutton clouted the final ball of the game to the boundary. Hampshire were indebted to Robin Smith (92 in 132 balls, with 11 fours) for their total of 198 for 5, and it looked enough when Wasim Akram strutted his stuff for the fabulous figures of 9-4-17-3. But Paul Weekes gritted it out for 53 in 114 balls, David Nash (29) and Abdul Razzaq (30) chipped in, and Hutton was able to finish it with a flourish.

A magnificent century by Kevin Pietersen, who finished with 130*, took Nottinghamshire to victory in the last over of a high-scoring game. Pietersen, tall and solid, thumped 13 fours and five sixes in his 109-ball knock, and was still there to clunk the winning boundary off Nathanm Dunmelow, with last man Stephen Randall at the other end. Earlier Derbyshire recovered from 23 for 4 to post a challenging 252, with Steve Selwood (67) and Dominic Hewson (50) putting on 96. The South African double act of Steve Elworthy (4 for 41) and Greg Smith (3 for 48) took most of the wickets.

Chris Adams celebrated his 33rd birthday with a century, but it was all in vain as Northants maintained their 100% National League record with a third straight win. Adams made 109*, cracking eight fours and four sixes, and piled on 183 for the fourth wicket with Robin Martin-Jenkins (68*) after Sussex had slipped to 27 for 3. Chasing 218, Northants also stuttered at the start, losing Mike Hussey for 3 and Mark Powell for 9, but Phil Jaques, who hit his maiden first-class century last week, dug in for 68. Jeff Cook added 49, then Gerard Brophy (35*) took his side to victory with just two balls to spare.
