Hampshire's sixth consecutive win
Hampshire Hawks secured their sixth straight victory, edging Yorkshire by chasing down 150 on the penultimate ball. Chris Wood took 3-23, and although AJ Tye (44 off 17) almost pulled off a miraculous win, Tristan Stubbs (27*) and Wood guided the Hawks home.
Somerset century
James Rew, back after a tough Test debut, smashed 116 not out off 56 balls with 19 boundaries for Somerset, who beat Gloucestershire by 18 runs. Gloucestershire's fifth-wicket stand of 55 between Liam Scott and Kamran Dhariwal gave hope, but Daniel Sams and Riley Meredith broke through.
Warwickshire bounce back
Warwickshire Bears, after five initial defeats, defeated Worcestershire by 59 runs. Zen Malik (99 off 19 balls) and Beau Webster (79 off 44) added 177 for the first wicket, but Worcestershire could only manage 165-7 in reply.
Northamptonshire dominant
Northamptonshire Steelbacks maintained their perfect start with a 130-run thrashing of Essex. Chris Lynn (75) and Ricardo Vasconcelos powered to 85-0 in the powerplay, and David Willey (65 off 29) helped post 238-6. Calvin Harrison (5-9) demolished Essex for 108.
Notts Outlaws win
George Munsey's unbeaten 82 led Notts Outlaws to a four-wicket win over Kent Spitfires. Mohammad Amir debuted with 2-26, while Sam Billings (64 off 38) fought for Kent. Matt Milnes (3-30) tightened the game, but Munsey sealed the win in the penultimate over.
Glamorgan victory
Glamorgan beat Middlesex by six wickets. Mason Crane took 4-24, and Asa Tribe (46) and Sean Dickson (67*) shared a 96-run stand to chase down 154 with ease.
