Canterbury: Kent 157-9, Gloucestershire 160-3 - Gloucestershire win by seven wickets

Vitality Blast champions Gloucestershire have finally got their first win of the season, at the sixth attempt, after beating the Kent Spitfires by seven wickets at Canterbury with 10 balls to spare.

Jack Taylor top-scored with 54 not out, and Ollie Price cashed in with an unbeaten 41 after being bowled off a no-ball and dropped.

Earlier, Kent posted a modest-looking 157 for 9. Ajeet Singh Dale took 3 for 24, while David Payne took 1 for 18 and went for just 4.5 an over. Harry Finch was the Spitfires' top scorer with 42.

New Road: Durham 155-6, Worcestershire 156-4 - Worcestershire win by six wickets

Worcestershire Rapids had youngsters Isaac Mohammed and Ethan Brookes to thank as their brilliant cameos saw them to a comprehensive six-wicket win over Durham.

Durham stuttered their way to 156, with only Will Rhodes (58 not out) able to cash in against a well-drilled Rapids attack.

The reply sizzled from the outset, with 17-year-old Isaac Mohammed blasting 32 from just 15 balls, as his cameo put the Rapids well in a good position after the powerplay.

Coming in at 89 for 3, Ethan Brookes stole the show with a blistering 51, in an innings that included eight boundaries, to see his side to victory with two overs to spare.
