Southport: Surrey 296-8, Lancashire 299-5 Lancashire win by five wickets

Fi Morris and Katie Mack posted excellent scores of 90 not out and 84 as Lancashire reeled in a 297-target to beat Surrey by five wickets in an entertaining Metro Bank One-Day Cup women's competition contest at Southport and Birkdale Cricket Club.

Australian Mack came in with the Red Rose at 53 for 1 in the 11th over of a response to Surrey's 296 for 8, which included a composed 100 off 102 balls from Alice Davidson-Richards.

Lancashire ended a run of two defeats to win for the third time this summer as England seamer Kate Cross returned 3 for 55 from 10 overs and opener Eve Jones made 52.

When Mack fell to a brilliant one-handed Alice Monaghan catch at cover off Davidson-Richards' seamers, Lancashire were 208 for 4 after 35 overs with the game in the balance. But Fi Morris finished things off with two overs remaining.

Edgbaston: Somerset 297-6, Bears 249 Somerset win by 48 runs

Somerset banked their third successive Metro Bank One-Day Cup women's competition victory with an emphatic 48-run win over Warwickshire at Edgbaston.

Somerset totalled a solid 297 for 6 thanks to captain Sophie Luff’s accomplished unbeaten century – 111 from 105 balls – which built on Heather Knight's punchy 70 up top. Em Arlott profited from late-innings profligacy to finish with 4 for 61.

Warwickshire's reply came in short at 249 all out after early impetus from Sterre Kalis (60) was followed by a middle-order implosion of five wickets for 14 runs in 30 balls. Alex Griffiths, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Chloe Skelton and Charlie Dean each took two wickets to squeeze the chase into submission.
