A 14-wicket day at Trent Bridge as Hampshire were steam‑rollered to a 366-run defeat. Liam Patterson‑White and Jack Haynes dominated the morning session with centuries, and Hampshire were set 483 to win, or four and a bit sessions to bat. It wasn't to be.
Seven wickets fell after tea as Hampshire were whistled out for 116 in their second innings, the top scorer No 11 Sonny Baker, with 27. Lyndon James grabbed five wickets, Brett Hutton four – there was only time for Mohammad Abbas to add two catches to his first‑innings five-fer against his old team. The Nottinghamshire juggernaut steams on, three wins in the bag, firebox ablaze.
There was bouncing delight for the cherry-red caps of Northamptonshire, after snatching a 70-run victory against Lancashire. It was almost 20 years ago that they last beat Lancashire, courtesy of Jason Brown's 10 wickets and 147 from Usman Afzaal. This time, the crucial intervention came from on-loan leg‑spinner Calvin Harrison, who has an appetite for red-rose batters. With Lancashire seemingly cruising to their target of 236, he had Marcus Harris stumped and Josh Bohannon lbw – which precipitated a collapse of seven for 28 runs.
Earlier, Ben Sanderson had given Northamptonshire something to bowl at when he crashed 65 from 28 balls. The win was the first under Darren Lehmann's tenure; Lancashire, preseason favourites for promotion, slip to the bottom of Division Two.
At Canterbury, Kent were bowled out for 176 after following on – a spanking by an innings and 161 runs and Glamorgan's first win of the season. Chris Benjamin was stranded six runs short of a maiden Kent century in the first innings, and three wickets each from Asitha Fernando and Timm van der Gugten soon sliced through the second – all out in fewer than 50 overs. There were firm words from Adam Hollioake: 'I wasn't here last year but I heard about it so we're not just going to start sulking and feeling sorry for ourselves.'
Despite an unbeaten 85 from Ben Foakes, Surrey are struggling at Edgbaston after Warwickshire reduced them to 369 for nine, 296 runs short of the follow-on. Three surprise wickets from Rob Yates and two from the rapid Che Simmons gave life to the final day.
Worcestershire need 244 to win at Hove, but the force is with Sussex after they removed Henry Nicholls just before the close; 185 from Adam Lyth put Yorkshire on top at Chelmsford. Share

Hasan Ali takes hat-trick and James Anderson also among Vitality Blast wickets
Bears openers Tom Latham and Alex Davies posted 58 and 49 respectively in a total of 199 for six at Edgbaston. Pakistan bowler Ali then played a starring role in limiting the winless away side to 141 all out, including removing Ross Whiteley for 50 and Alex Thomson and Ben Aitchison for golden ducks on successive deliveries in the 16th over. Hassan Ali takes a hat-trick for the Bears! 😱 — Vitality Blast (@VitalityBlast) June 8, 2025 James Anderson took three wickets but could not prevent Lancashire slipping to a 24-run defeat to table-topping Northamptonshire. The 42-year-old former England seamer dismissed openers Ricardo Vasconcelos and Matthew Breetzke, plus Ravi Bopara, as the visitors made 180 for six at Old Trafford en route to maintaining their 100 per cent record with a fifth consecutive victory. Lancashire, who remain second, were restricted to 156 for nine in response, with George Scrimshaw taking four for 19 for the Steelbacks. Yorkshire captain Dawid Malan became the fifth English batter to reach 10,000 career T20 runs during a superb 88 which helped his side achieve a first win of the campaign at the expense of Leicestershire. Dawid Malan surpasses 10,000 domestic T20 runs 👏 — Yorkshire CCC (@YorkshireCCC) June 8, 2025 Aided by 62 from second-wicket partner Will Luxton, former England left-hander Malan contributed significantly to an imposing target of 214, which was never threatened by the third-placed Foxes, who were bowled out for 107 inside 17 overs, with leg-spinner Jafer Chohan claiming four for 27. In the South Group, England batter Zak Crawley hit an unbeaten 75 off 43 balls as Kent inflicted a first defeat of the season on leaders Hampshire. Crawley, who shared a stand of 110 with Daniel Bell-Drummond (61) in Canterbury, helped the Spitfires to an eight-wicket win with six balls remaining after Joe Weatherley registered 63 not out in the Hawks' total of 177 for seven. Sussex eased to a 78-run triumph over Glamorgan thanks to Nathan McAndrew's five-for after James Coles made an unbeaten 78 and fellow batter Tom Alsop hit 50. We were lucky to witness that. An incredible spell of bowling from Nathan McAndrew! 👏 — Sussex Sharks 🦈 (@SussexCCC) June 8, 2025 The visitors were set a target of 196 at Hove but were dismissed for 117 in the 16th over following McAndrew's heroics with the ball. Pointless Essex remain rooted to the bottom after 72 from Stephen Eskinazi helped Middlesex to a six-wicket win and first success of the campaign. The hosts lost six wickets in 29 balls at Chelmsford before Middlesex chased down a total of 156 for nine with 15 balls to spare. Surrey continue to set the pace in the women's competition after Danni Wyatt-Hodge's blistering 26-ball half-century paved the way for a nine-wicket win over Durham at the Oval. The England opener struck two sixes and 11 fours in an unbeaten knock of 74 during a first-wicket stand of 94 with captain Bryony Smith (44) as the hosts chased down a target of 142 with 43 balls to spare. In Sunday's other match, Tara Norris made an unbeaten 33 and took three for 25 to help Lancashire defeat Birmingham Bears by five runs.

It feels like we're a group of mates – Skipper Harry Brook hails England unity
Brook has won five on the bounce against the West Indies since taking over from Jos Buttler, sweeping the tourists 3-0 in the ODI leg and going 2-0 up with one to play in the T20s. England did not have it easy in Sunday's four-wicket win at Bristol, with the asking rate climbing past 11 an over at one stage as they chased down a stiff target of 197. IT20 series win secured! 🔒 Victory in Bristol 🙌 Banton and Carse see us home 👏 Match Centre: — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 8, 2025 But they stuck together to get over the line, with five of their top six making handy contributions before Jacob Bethell and Tom Banton took the bull by the horns. The middle-order duo hammered 56 off just 21 deliveries between them to puncture the West Indian resistance and keep the good times rolling for Brook. It was the kind of game England were losing in the difficult final days under Buttler, whose reign ended with eight straight defeats across both formats. But there is a new lighter feeling around the group – including the newly liberated former skipper, who has top-scored with 96 and 47 in the last two games. 'It feels like we're a group of mates. We're just going out and having fun,' said Brook. 'It's been nice for me. The results are awesome and we're really enjoying it. We're having a good time out there. England's Brydon Carse and Tom Banton celebrate victory (Nigel French/PA) 'At the end of games we go around the circle and Baz (head coach Brendon McCullum) asks if anybody has anything to say. In every game so far someone has stood up and said something. I think that's a great way of showing how the team is at the minute and we feel a proper togetherness.' The West Indies made England sweat at times, taking 82 off their last five overs including an unexpected tirade against Adil Rashid in the 19th. For so long the team's most bankable bowler, the leg-spinner shipped five sixes and 31 runs in what goes down as the second most expensive over by an English bowler in T20s. Stuart Broad holds the unwanted record of 36, taken for six off every ball by Yuvraj Singh at the 2007 World Cup. Brook, though, insists he and his team were never rattled. 'I'm always very chilled. We knew that there was going to be one, two, maybe three big overs,' he said. 'On a pitch that size, with 60-metre boundaries nearly all the way around, we accepted that before the game and we knew we could get big overs as well. 'The way Bants went about his business, getting 30 off 11 balls having never really batted in the middle order before was just awesome.' The West Indies have one more chance to avoid a winless tour in Southampton on Tuesday but head coach Daren Sammy paid tribute to Akeal Hosein, who took the field just six hours after arriving from the Caribbean following visa delays. 'He said to me, 'there's no way I'm not playing',' Sammy explained. 'Kudos to him, he turned up for us. An eight-hour flight straight into a game is not ideal but it shows his commitment.'
