Scorecard

Trevor Penney launched Warwickshire to the largest total of the day as they ran out comfortable winners over Somerset. Penney, in his benefit year, turned back the clock with an electric 52 from only 28 balls, and with help from Collins Obuya (34 not out), Warwickshire raced to 188 for 7. Somerset's reply got off to a good start with Keith Dutch smacking 70 from 52 balls, but once Jamie Cox was out for 47, wickets continued to fall regularly in their search for quick runs.

James Hamblin picked up the Man of the Match award with a quickfire 34 in Hampshire's nail-biting win over Sussex.

However, Sussex hit back with some good bowling from Mark Davis (3 for 13), and chasing 154, they needed 10 off the last over, but were foiled by their old boy Ed Giddins who bowled a tight last over in an exciting match ... and there's still a concert to come.
