James Fuller saw Hampshire to a narrow three-wicket victory over Middlesex.

The opener struck three sixes and 12 fours as Max Holden added 33.
Hampshire needed 10 off the last over and Fuller came up trumps, hitting back-to-back fours to finish 43 not out.
Rob Yates, that is unbelievable!
Is this the best catch he's ever taken?

Foakes smashes Surrey to win over Glamorgan
Surrey v Glamorgan, MetroBank One Day CupGlamorgan 308-7 (50 overs): Smale 105*; Barnwell 3-55Surrey 146-5 (15.3 overs: target 146 in 16): Foakes 43*, Thomas 34; Gorvin 2-31, Douthwaite 2-40Surrey won by 5 wickets via DLS methodMatch scorecard Ben Foakes blasted Surrey to a five-wicket win over Glamorgan, with a maiden century from Will Smale not enough for the defending the wicket-keeper out of favour with England, hit 43 not out off just 17 balls to steer his side to an improbable target of 146 in 16 overs after a long rain-break. Smale's well-paced knock of 105 not out off 106 steered Glamorgan to 308-7 despite losing early wickets to Surrey's raw young attack, Nathan Barnwell claiming and lightning caused a lengthy interruption early in the Surrey innings, but Adam Thomas (34 off 24) and Foakes got Surrey off the mark in the third match of their have just two points from their three games and may need to win their remaining five after a shock reverse against a well below-strength Surrey. Surrey, depleted by 15 Hundred absentees, lost captain Ryan Patel to an ankle injury in the warm-up with Foakes taking over the contrast Glamorgan welcomed back Dan Douthwaite from a brief spell at the Hundred and Championship captain Sam Northeast, who had been rested.A wild second over of the match from 18 year-old Alex French, playing only his second game, lasted 13 balls and cost Surrey 20 runs. But the 6ft 7" quickie was kept on and rewarded the decision by getting rid of both openers, Eddie Byrom and Asa Tribe, with Byrom falling to a fine catch from French's former Cranleigh school-mate Adam Thomas as French finished with a creditable 2-49 in nine. The pacey Barnwell, 22, made sure Surrey stayed in the game by sending back the experienced pair of Sam Northeast for 24 and Kiran Carlson for 25 to leave Glamorgan a precarious 117-4 in the 20th Yousef Majid bowled his 10 overs for just 41 as Surrey kept the brakes on for long Zain Ul Hassan (33) and Alex Horton (35) shared in key stands of 70 and 86 with Smale as Glamorgan batted intelligently to keep wickets in hand and leave the all-out acceleration until the final five overs. Smale, dropping down the order to five from his usual top-three position, finished with seven fours and three sixes to ensure Glamorgan had a decent total to defend, albeit with a generous helping of 48 extras. Test batter Rory Burns was well caught behind by Horton off Ul Hassan for 12, but with Surrey 21-1 off 5.1 overs, lightning flashes and torrential rain drove the players off in mid-afternoon. After a delay of 142 minutes, Surrey needed a further 125 in 10.1 overs, which seemed a hugely challenging Thomas got the run-rate rising rapidly as most of Glamorgan's bowlers suffered apart from Ul Hassan, who took one for seven off was brilliantly caught by Carlson off Andy Gorvin but Foakes continued finding the gaps and clearing the ropes to belie his reputation as an orthodox eight were needed off the last over and though Douthwaite yorked Josh Blake for an excellent 27 off 21, two full-toss no-balls saw Surrey home with three balls in hand.

Middlesex in advanced talks over funding for home away from Lord's
Middlesex are in advanced negotiations with two international investment groups over a funding deal that would enable the club to build a permanent home away from Lord's. A source involved in the discussions said the proposals are not mutually exclusive, with a final decision to be made by the end of the year. Uxbridge Cricket Club in west London is understood to be the preferred site for a new ground and training base, although Middlesex would aim to stage around 70% of their men's matches at Lord's. Middlesex have been looking for external investment for about 18 months and in February appointed the gaming and sports investment specialists Oakvale Capital to conduct a review of its ownership. After that review Middlesex are understood to have resolved to seek a financial partnership that would enable them to build a new ground in London to accompany their tenancy at Lord's, rather than sell a stake in the club and take it into private ownership, a move that could have been blocked by their members. Middlesex have received expressions of interest from a variety of global groups who are already invested in sport, including the NFL and Indian Premier League. The club have prioritised investors with a history in sport rather than private equity firms, with a number of funds from America having been rebuffed. Middlesex are also in active discussions with Marylebone Cricket Club to extend their 12-month lease at Lord's, which expires at the end of the summer. While this is regarded as a formality, the financial terms have yet to be agreed. The MCC remain committed to a landlord-tenant relationship with Middlesex that has run without interruption since 1877, but with the volume of domestic cricket increasing the availability of Lord's is a problem In addition to the rapid recent growth of women's cricket, with Lord's staging a women's Test match for the first time next summer, between England and India, from next year the MCC will also be running professional teams for the first time in their 238-year history in the form of London Spirit. The MCC's partners in the Hundred, the so-called Tech Titans, have made it clear they will want more access to Lord's in return for their £151m investment, while the competition could also expand from its eight-team format, which would mean more matches. The England and Wales Cricket Board are also looking into staging women's matches as stand-alone events, which would put further demands on venues such as Lord's. Middlesex have used Radlett and Merchant Taylors' school for County Championship, T20 Blast and One-Day Cup fixtures this season. Last year, they played two 'home' Blast games at Chelmsford in Essex last year, which made financial sense, but angered members. The club regularly used Uxbridge for Championship and one-day matches in the 1980s and 1990s, but have not played there since 2017 as the ground needs to be developed.

Middlesex Women are in tier two of the new county set-up launched this year by the ECB, but hope to be promoted to an expanded tier one in 2029. Middlesex declined to comment.
