The biggest drama of the night occurred in Southampton, as Hampshire, who had already tied with Somerset this season, did so again to end Surrey’s 100% start.<\/p>\n
Surrey struggled to tame a slow pitch, with only Alice Davidson-Richards thriving with a 40, while fellow birthday girl Amanda-Jade Wellington picked up 3-25.<\/p>\n
The visitors had looked to have locked up the match before Nancy Harman whacked 43 in 26 balls to turn the game into a last-over nail-biter.<\/p>\n
The first five balls all saw singles \u2013 whether off the bat, leg or bye \u2013 and the last ball ended up as a run out as Rhianna Southby failed to get back for a second run.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Warwickshire suffered a fourth successive defeat after being bowled out for 113 inside 19 overs.<\/p>\n
Durham earlier totalled a battling 140-5 including a T20 career best 61 off 39 balls for Bess Heath.<\/p>\n
Mady Villiers and fellow spinner Katie Levick then struck twice for polished Durham, as did the seam of Australian Heather Graham and Sophia Turner.<\/p>\n
In Manchester, meanwhile, Somerset suffered their first Blast loss of the summer.<\/p>\n
Having posted a modest 137-6 in their 20 overs, a total in which skipper Sophie Luff made 42, they were powerless to prevent Lancashire reaching their target.<\/p>\n
Lanning and Eve Jones shared nine boundaries during a powerplay that yielded 62 runs as the hosts cruised to victory inside 16 overs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The biggest drama of the night occurred in Southampton, as Hampshire, who had already tied with Somerset this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-610946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
