Georgia Adams leads Hampshire win, Lancashire complete The Blaze double

WOMEN'S ONE-DAY CUP ROUNDUP: Meanwhile, Surrey got the better of Somerset in a reduced game at Taunton, while Mady Villiers did the business for Durham

Chester-le-Street: Bears 243-9, Durham 244-7 - Durham won by three wickets

An excellent all-round performance from Mady Villiers led Durham to a three-wicket win in their One Day Cup clash with Warwickshire. 

Durham's bowlers restricted Warwickshire throughout their innings with regular wickets from the likes of Sophia Turner and Villiers, but a late flurry of runs from half-centurion Charis Pavely helped them to a competitive total of 243 for 9. 

Durham's reply got off to a great start, with the brilliant Suzie Bates combining well with skipper Hollie Armitage for a partnership worth 105.

However, some quick wickets for Warwickshire unsettled Durham, but Villiers' maiden List A fifty for Durham secured her side a first win since the opening day.

Southampton: Hampshire 273-5, Essex 256-8 - Hampshire won by 17 runs

Georgia Adams won the battle of the century-making captains as Hampshire beat Essex by 17 runs in the One-Day Cup women's competition.

Hampshire’s Adams 110, with assistance from Rhianna Southby's 61 and Ella McCaughan's 44, helped her side to a healthy 273 for 5.

Essex skipper Grace Scrivens replied with a classy 101, her second ton in successive innings, to put herself firmly in the frame for England selection.

But left-arm spinner Linsey Smith took 4 for 33 to give Hampshire their fourth victory in six matches to remain amongst the pacesetters, while Essex remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

Old Trafford: The Blaze 222, Lancashire 226-6 - Lancashire won by four wickets

A half century by Emma Lamb and List A best bowling by Grace Potts helped Lancashire complete a Women's One-Day Cup double over leaders The Blaze at Emirates Old Trafford. 

Potts’ four for 37 led an excellent bowling effort by the Lancashire attack on a slow wicket that restricted the visitors to a below-par 222 all out from 48.2 overs, with half centuries by England wicketkeeper Amy Jones and Ella Claridge.

Lamb, the leading run scorer in the competition, boosted her chances of gaining international selection with an excellent 74 in front of the watching England Head Coach Charlotte Edwards, but three wickets by The Blaze skipper Kirstie Gordon threatened to swing the game the way of the visitors with Lancashire 155 for six after 32 overs.

It took a vital partnership of 71 runs in 15.2 overs between captain Ellie Threlkeld and England all-rounder Kate Cross for the seventh wicket to take Lancashire to a four-wicket victory with 16 balls to spare.

Bryony Smith posted a superb hundred to steer Surrey to a convincing 101-run win over Somerset on the DLS method in the One Day Cup women's competition at the Cooper Associates Ground in Taunton.

Leading by example, Surrey's captain scored 110 from 103 balls, struck 15 fours and dominated crucial stands of 100 and 134 with Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sophia Dunkley for the first and third wickets respectively as the visitors made 306 for 7 in a contest reduced by rain to 44 overs a side.

Dunkley raised an attractive 79 from 81 balls and Wyatt-Hodge contributed 44 with eight fours, while Australian spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington returned figures of 4 for 47.

Chasing a revised target of 317, Somerset came up short in the face of accurate bowling and sharp fielding, Heather Knight and Wellington top-scoring with 36 and Alice Monaghan, Danielle Gregory and Alexa Stonehouse claiming two wickets apiece as the home side were dismissed for 215 in 40.5 overs.
