In the North Group, Leicestershire Foxes secured a six-wicket win over rivals Northamptonshire Steelbacks at the County Ground to boost their own top-four hopes.
Rehan Ahmed's unbeaten half century (52) saw the Foxes home past their victory target at the start of the 17th over at 173 for four.
After opener Rishi Patel had been caught and bowled off the third delivery by Steelbacks captain David Willey, the Foxes regrouped as Shan Masood (25) and Sol Budinger (40) pushed them on in support of Ahmed. George Scrimshaw finished with three wickets.
Northamptonshire had posted 171 for seven after being put into bat.
After opener Tim Robinson fell for a two-ball duck to Netherlands all-rounder Logan van Beek, the Steelbacks mounted a recovery with a rapid 30 from Saif Zaib.
Ravi Bopara (53) stayed on to make a half-century, hitting six fours and one over the rope, but was swiftly running out of partners as more wickets fell through successive overs before Luke Procter finished 22 not out off 17 deliveries.
Worcestershire Rapids edged to a 12-run win at bottom side Derbyshire.
The Rapids, having won the toss and deciding to bat, looked in trouble at 10 for four in the third over after Zak Chappell took wickets in successive balls.
Wicketkeeper-batter Gareth Roderick, though, steadied the innings with a solid 71, hitting four fours and two sixes. Ethan Brookes made 43 before Ben Dwarshuis ended unbeaten on 33 as the visitors reached 174 for six.
The Falcons lost opener Aneurin Donald to the first ball of their reply – with an unbeaten 77 from Wayne Madsen just not enough to get them to their target, finishing short at 162 for six.

The 12-year-old Hampshire girl hoping to inspire female cricketers
"I think more girls would love cricket if they could give it a try."A 12-year-old girl who plays at county level after taking up the sport two years ago says it should be easier for girls to become who lives in Hampshire and goes to school in Newbury, Berkshire, tells the BBC she was "always having to wear boys' clothes" because she struggled to find cricket wear for she has been selected to be an ambassador for a company making cricket clothing exclusively for women and girls after the owners were "blown away" by her "vision for change in the sport". Honour Black, co-founder of Maiden Cricket, says Mya was picked to represent the firm thanks to her "clear passion for making cricket more inclusive and accessible for girls".The company, set up by sisters Honour and Cat in 2024, aims to design comfortable clothing specifically for female sisters say Mya's role would give her opportunities to meet industry leaders and participate in who plays for Falkland Cricket Club, says she started playing cricket at her old school."They put me into the hard ball team and I just really enjoyed playing hard ball with my school," she says."I joined two local clubs and I play for my county as well now."But there was one problem."I was looking for girls cricket wear because I was always having to wear boys clothes," she says."I came across [Maiden Cricket] and I really liked what they stood for and their focus to help more girls and women play cricket and be more comfortable in their clothes, playing the sport we love."The company said it received hundreds of applicants for the ambassador says: "Mya really stood out to us from the start."Her drive to raise the profile of girls' hard ball cricket and her desire to inspire others really align with Maiden's mission."We were blown away by her enthusiasm and vision for change in the sport." Mya says: "I think more girls would love cricket if they could give it a try."We just need to make it easier for them so they can have a go."Her dream is to play for Hampshire Hawks - and then perhaps England."It's going to be a hard challenge to do if I want to play for England but I have to just work really hard," she says.

How Cowes found the secret of a successful seaside resort
These days, most English seaside towns are sites of national mourning. You pay your respects by walking up some deathtrap pier, dropping two pence in an arcade coin pusher and whispering, your flower now on the grave: 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.' But Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, has managed to stave off this sorry end. Its secret is Cowes Week. Cowes Week, which starts today, is an annual sailing regatta. It has earned its place as a respected event in Britain's sporting calendar – always in August, between Glorious Goodwood and the Glorious Twelfth – but its beginnings were unambitious. On 10 August 1826, following an advertisement in the Southampton Town and Country Herald a fortnight before, ships raced from Cowes to Southsea Castle near Portsmouth and back, eight nautical miles each way, for a prize of £100. Cowes's genius – and what has secured its survival – has been turning this local lark into a money-spinner: 'Cowes Week, The Oldest Sailing Regatta In The World.' While Poole and Bournemouth are still flogging sticks of rock to the same diminishing group of day-trippers, Cowes has rebranded as a 'sailing town'. To get technical, it has mastered what The Spectator's Wiki Man Rory Sutherland calls 'reverse benchmarking'. Rather than trying to compete with other seaside towns on the usual terms – best fish and chips, nicest beach – Cowes has gone its own way. It has a Henri Lloyd, some lovely bakeries, a big M&S and a nice restaurant that sells expensive seafood platters. The beach is not great, but no one cares. Before Cowes Week, Cowes was a dull administrative centre for the British Empire. Rice from the American colonies was brought to the town, which is at the northernmost point of the Isle of Wight, to clear customs before being distributed across Europe. Tourists only really started coming to Cowes when Queen Victoria built a palace in Italian renaissance style on a cliff on its eastern outskirts. Prince Albert said that the vista, overlooking the grey and murky Solent, reminded him of the Bay of Naples. Perhaps Albert was getting ahead of himself, but the Isle of Wight does have a foreign allure. This makes the rebrand to 'international sailing town' believable. Friedrich Engels, who visited the island often, said it was a 'little paradise', and oddly also compared it with Naples. Engels was apparently drawn to the Isle of Wight after reading a book by James Clark, a physician, who wrote in 1829 that the Isle of Wight's air had miraculous medicinal properties. '[The island] possesses several peculiarities of climate and situation,' said Clark, 'which render it a very favourable and commodious residence throughout the year for a large class of invalids.' There are still some wrong 'uns around the Isle of Wight, and around Cowes. Last year, a criminal who was on the run registered himself as living at my parents' address for the purpose of acquiring a driving licence, and I have also become friendly with a former convict who likes to pick magic mushrooms from a field near the town. HMP Isle of Wight, a high security 'super prison', is a ten-minute drive from Cowes. It was once home to the Kray twins and the Yorkshire Ripper. David Icke also lives on the Isle of Wight. Criminals, conspiracists and cosmopolitan sailors share Cowes happily.

Yorkshire boost survival hopes after thrashing Sussex in Scarborough
Daniel Hughes and Danial Ibrahim had made fifties to give Sussex hope of batting out the final day in Scarborough, but Matt Milnes dismissed both overnight batters in his first couple of overs. Milnes was the pick of the Yorkshire attack with five for 31 as Sussex added just 80 runs on the fourth day, all out for 195 and only Fynn Hudson-Prentice offering resistance with an unbeaten 52. Matt Milnes completes his first Yorkshire 5-fer to bring us home! 👏 — Yorkshire CCC (@YorkshireCCC) August 1, 2025 Victory for Yorkshire takes the White Rose up from ninth in the table to seventh, although there are only 15 points separating fifth-placed Hampshire and ninth-spotted Durham with three matches left. Hampshire might have put more of a gap between themselves and those below them ,but fell two wickets short of beating rock-bottom Worcestershire at New Road. A declaration on 313 for seven left the Pears needing 358 in 53 overs for just a second win of the season and Jake Libby cracked 106 from just 122 balls – his second century of the match. Hampshire kept chipping away, with highly-rated quicks Sonny Baker and Eddie Jack each claiming three wickets, but hands were shaken with Worcestershire on 303 for eight after 52.5 overs. "It was a great game of cricket" 😅 Captain Ben Brown is pleased with his side's efforts to try and bowl Worcestershire out and force a result after rain played a big impact across the four days 🤝 📰 Report & Reaction ⤵️ — Hampshire Cricket (@hantscricket) August 1, 2025 Nottinghamshire sit nine points adrift of leaders Surrey after being held to a draw by Somerset at Trent Bridge. With a 106-run first-innings lead in a high-scoring match, Nottinghamshire needed to make inroads into Somerset's batting. But while Calvin Harrison took three wickets, Somerset getting to 200 for five meant a stalemate was agreed. Ed Barnard went from an overnight 90 to 108 for Warwickshire, but mid-afternoon rain meant their match at Essex petered out to a draw. GLAMORGAN WIN AT OLD TRAFFORD FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1993!!!!! What a team, what an effort, and what an incredible performance 👏👏👏#LANvGLAM #OhGlammyGlammy — Glamorgan Cricket 🏆 (@GlamCricket) August 1, 2025 In Division Two, Glamorgan remain on course for promotion after claiming their first win at Emirates Old Trafford since 1993. Any hopes of Lancashire reeling in 473 from an overnight 226 for five were soon extinguished despite Marcus Harris' 61 as the Red Rose were all out for 318. Leaders Leicestershire were frustrated by Ben Compton's double hundred as their clash at Kent ended in a draw. Unbeaten fifties from Luis Reece and Brooke Guest and the rain helped Derbyshire avoid defeat at Northamptonshire, while Joe Phillips hit his maiden first-class ton as Gloucestershire versus Middlesex was also draw at Cheltenham.
