Chelmsford: Lancashire<\/a> 251-7, Essex<\/a> 252-5 – Essex won by five wickets<\/p>\n

Grace Scrivens and Cordelia Griffith continued Essex’s resurgence with a county record Metro Bank One Day Cup stand of 128 from 153 balls to overcome holders Lancashire and secure a third straight win in the competition.<\/p>\n

Skipper Scrivens (74) and Griffith (61) bettered their opening partnership of 95 against Yorkshire last time out with another vital contribution to lay the foundations for a resounding victory at Chelmsford.<\/p>\n

Lancashire needed a century partnership of their own to recover from a sluggish start, with opener Eve Jones (98) and skipper Ellie Threlkeld (51) adding 127 for the third wicket.<\/p>\n

That enabled them to post 251 for 7, with Sophie Munro and Scrivens taking two wickets apiece, but it was not enough and the in-form Jodi Grewcock hit 58 from 57 as Essex cruised home with three overs to spare.<\/p>\n

Southampton: Somerset<\/a> 281-6, Hampshire<\/a> 282-5 – Hampshire won by five wickets<\/p>\n

Maia Bouchier\u00a0howitzered\u00a0a personal-best 143 to trump Bex Odgers’ exquisite 133 as Hampshire beat Somerset by five wickets in the Metro Bank One Day Cup women’s competition.<\/p>\n

Odgers’ first professional ton tied with an unbroken 150 run partnership with Chole Skelton \u2013 the highest seventh wicket partnership in this country and the third largest of all-time in women’s List A cricket \u2013 had given Hampshire a tricky 282 to chase.<\/p>\n

But Bouchier and international teammate Freya Kemp hammered the bowling in a captivating 149-run partnership in front of England head coach Charlotte Edwards, as Hampshire strode to a fourth win in six.<\/p>\n

Edgbaston: Warwickshire<\/a> 289-6, Durham<\/a> 290-5 – Durham won by five wickets<\/p>\n

A brilliant all-round display by Mady Villiers lifted Durham to a five-wicket victory over Warwickshire in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup at Edgbaston.<\/p>\n

Warwickshire totalled an imposing 289 for six thanks to Davina Perrina (69), Charis Pavely (55) and Nat Wraith (54). Villiers led the bowling attack with three for 38 – and then unfurled a glorious first century for Durham with the bat.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old struck 106 from 86 balls to underpin Durham\u2019s progress to 290 for 5 with 25 balls to spare. Villiers laid a spectacular victory foundation on which Emily Windsor built skilfully to see her side home with an unbeaten 85.<\/p>\n
