WOMEN'S ONE DAY CUP ROUNDUP: As the 50-over competition briefly resumed following the conclusion of the T20 Blast, there were some mammoth scores on a batting-friendly day across the country
Edgbaston: Bears 239, Surrey 240-7 - Surrey won by three wickets
Surrey continued their Women's One Day Cup charge with a three-wicket win over Warwickshire at the Edgbaston Community Sports Ground.
Warwickshire were lifted to 239 all out by a dazzling maiden professional century by Davina Perrin (113 from 125 balls). Supported by Natasha Wraith (47, 49), Perrin salvaged her side from 32 for 5 after early damage done by Ryana MacDonald-Gay (4 for 47) and Alice Monaghan (3 for 48)
Surrey then reached 240 for 7 with 20 balls to spare as Alice Capsey's sparkling 79 (73) underpinned the chase and Danni Wyatt-Hodge's composed 43 not out (43) saw it to a comfortable conclusion.
Sedburgh: Lancashire 306-4, Essex 158 - Lancashire won by 138 runs
A brilliant century from Lancashire and England's Emma Lamb helped her side ease to their latest One Day Cup victory by 138 runs over struggling Essex at the beautiful surroundings of Sedbergh.
Lamb hit a career best 142 and shared a mammoth opening partnership of 162 with Eve Jones (71) as the Red Rose racked up a total of 306 for 4 off their 50 overs after being put into bat by Essex skipper Grace Scrivens.
As for Essex, there were few highlights with only Jodi Grewcock's half-century to take back with them on the long journey home from the South Lakelands.

Taunton: Durham 315-9, Somerset 210 - Durham won by 105 runs
Suzie Bates staged a batting masterclass as Durham beat Somerset by 105 runs in a one-sided One Day Cup contest at Taunton.
The 37-year-old Kiwi registered a superb career-best innings of 163, eclipsing her previous highest List-A score of 151 made for New Zealand against Ireland in Dublin in 2018, as Durham raised an imposing 315 for 9 after winning the toss.
At her imperious best, Bates amassed 18 fours and three sixes and shared in stands of 71 with Hollie Armitage, 66 with Beth Heath and 78 with Phoebe Turner for the second, fifth and sixth wickets respectively to make it a day to forget for Somerset's bowlers, who conceded 38 boundaries in all.
The pick of Durham's bowlers, Phoebe Turner claimed 3 for 45, Katie Levick took 3 for 57, and Mady Villiers 3 for 30 as Somerset were dismissed for 210 in 40.2 overs, Jess Hazell top-scoring with a 55-ball 50 and Bex Odgers contributing 47 in a losing cause.
Southampton: Hampshire 291-7, The Blaze 211 - Hampshire won by 80 runs
England starlet Freya Kemp smacked her first career century as Hampshire reclaimed top spot of the One Day Cup women's competition from The Blaze with a bonus point win.
Kemp turned around Hampshire's batting having arrived at the crease at 34 for three to dispatch 109 in 92 balls, with Nancy Harman celebrating her PB of 77 after a 136-run partnership.
In reply to 291, The Blaze hung their hopes around Georgia Elwiss' impeccable 87, but exciting quick Daisy Gibb's three for 21 and Ellyse Perry's farewell three for 40 trumped her as Hampshire won by 80 runs.
It ended a downbeat four days for The Blaze having lost in the Eliminator of the women's Blast on Sunday.
