Scarborough: Durham 290-8, Yorkshire 290 - match tied

Phoebe Turner and Jess Jonassen scored brilliant centuries for Durham and Yorkshire as both teams played out a thrilling One Day Cup tie at Scarborough, with the White Rose losing four late wickets all run out as they attempted to chase 291.

Utilita Bowl: Hampshire 272-5, Surrey 259 - Hampshire won by 13 runs

Danni Wyatt-Hodge smashed her second century of the season but couldn't prevent Surrey from losing back-to-back One Day Cup women's competition matches.

Maia Bouchier and Abi Norgrove had underpinned Hampshire's voyage to 272 with half-centuries.

And Bex Tyson proved the best of the three left-arm spinners on show, despite being the only one of the trio not selected for the T20 World Cup, by taking three wickets.

But England star Wyatt-Hodge almost trumped the lot with a masterful 11th career hundred, but Hampshire held their nerve to win by 13 runs to remain unbeaten.
