Somerset Women held their nerve in a tight chase to defeat Durham Women by four wickets via the DLS method in their Metro Bank One-Day Cup women’s competition clash at Banks Homes Riverside.

Debutant Rebecca Ogders and Fran Wilson scored half-centuries for the visitors in a rain-affected contest reduced to 39 overs per side. The pair set the foundation before Amanda-Jade Wellington and Alex Griffiths saw their team over the line with nine balls to spare

Durham skipper Hollie Armitage scored 89 earlier in the day to allow Durham to post a competitive 216, reduced to 213 after DLS. Chloe Skelton and Ellie Anderson each claimed three wickets apiece, with the former's three strikes in the penultimate over proving decisive in the outcome of the contest as Somerset claimed four points.

Somerset won the toss and elected to field, although the start of play was delayed by 50 minutes due to rain. The visitors immediately put Durham on the back foot as Suzie Bates dragged the second delivery of the day from Anderson back onto her own stumps.

After another lengthy delay, Armitage greeted the first ball after the restart with a fine cover drive to the fence, but Somerset kept chipping away at the Durham batting order as Laura Jackson pinned Emma Marlow lbw before Anderson bowled found her way through the defences of both Mady Villiers and Bess Heath.

The Durham skipper defied the Somerset bowlers and reached her third half-century in a row on home soil, finding the gap between the two fielders on the leg-side boundary off Wellington.

Phoebe Turner joined Armitage to offer support, steering Durham towards a competitive total courtesy of a 57-run stand, with Armitage leading the way. She seemed poised to become the first Durham centurion, only to fall 11 runs shy, missing a straight one from Amanda-Jade Wellington.

Katherine Fraser provided the impetus without Armitage with a 23-ball 30, including the first six of the game. But, Skelton wrapped up the Durham innings with three wickets in four balls, skittling the hosts for 216.

Chasing a revised total of 213, Somerset were pegged back early on as Emma Corney and Sophie Luff fell cheaply. But, Odgers, making her Somerset bow in place of Heather Knight, settled into her knock with a flurry of crunching off-side boundaries.

Odgers and Wilson continued to lay the foundations of the visitors' chase, taking their stand past fifty before the opener brought up her maiden List A fifty from 66 balls. Katie Levick prised out Odgers for a well-made 60, but Wilson continued her impressive innings to keep Somerset within striking distance of the required rate.

Turner dismissed Charlie Dean and Katie Jones to put the pressure on the Somerset ranks. However, Wilson was proving up to the challenge, reaching her half-century with a crisp drive through to covers for four. Timely boundaries whittled down the required run rate as Wilson used all strokes around the ground to put the visitors on the brink.

Levick secured a vital breakthrough to dismiss Wilson for 68 to set up a tense finale. Wellington used her nous to score three boundaries using a reverse scoop off the penultimate over to secure the win for the visitors.

Durham's Hollie Armitage said: "It was a close game, but when we set our total in a limited-overs game we were happy with that. Today shows how much cricket can ebb and flow, but we're very disappointed with the result. Fran Wilson showed how to pace an innings well and she's a tough player to bowl out when she's in. We thought that we when she was out we might be able to close the gap, but it didn't go our way. Katie Levick is a banker and she has been for many years now, but after her spell we couldn't get over the line. If we're talking from a batting point of view when you lose four wickets early on you're always chasing the game. I'm very happy with the way I'm striking the ball at the moment. I think the main thing for me is to be involved in big partnerships and unfortunately there weren't many of them today. It's my home ground I've got to like playing here for the next few years, I'm happy with where I'm at at the moment."

Somerset's Bex Odgers said: "Yes it was a hard-fought win. All the girls were able to contribute and we got there in the end. I found out I was making my debut last night with Heather Knight not being here. I spoke to home and it was a very special moment for me. I was very pleased with my debut, and I was happy to get a partnership going with Fran Wilson. We had to dig in after losing an early couple of wickets and I think it helped us get over the line. We backed ourselves all the way and it was a bit tense. With Wellngton coming in at eight, we backed ourselves and she hit those boundaries to get us over the line. It was unbelievably cold out there! It's probably the coldest I've ever played in."

Surrey Women vs Warwickshire Women, Match 14, Metro Bank One Day Cup Women Division I

Warwickshire 314 for 7 beat Surrey 313 for 7 by 3 wickets

Warwickshire inflicted a third Metro Bank One-Day Cup defeat of the season on Surrey at a bracing and blustery Beckenham. Surrey’s 313 for 7, adorned by a century from Sophia Dunkley, never quite looked enough on a cracking batting surface and positive batting from Davina Perrin and Nat Wraith broke the back of the chase before Beth Ellis played an assured finishing role.

Warwickshire’s chase was the second-highest ever in women’s List A cricket (Bengal hauled in Haryana’s 389 for 5 in Rajkot in December 2024) and the highest ever in England.

Surrey were given a flying start by Bryony Smith and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 59 coming off the first six overs as the bowlers, perhaps excited by a bit of pace and bounce in the wicket, didn’t get it right, bowling too short and too wide. Issy Wong finally saw Wyatt-Hodge toe-end tamely to Davina Perrin at point but Surrey’s 71 for 1 was still the highest Powerplay score in the competition to date, and that with just 12 coming from overs 7-10.

Alice Capsey burned brightly but briefly and Sophia Dunkley and Smith put on 76 to keep the innings moving. Smith then sliced Bethan Ellis to backward point for a fine 72-ball 78 and Alice Davidson-Richards and Paige Scholfield both hit 26, while Dunkley just kept batting. 

Her hundred, off 109 balls, with seven fours and one six, came off the penultimate ball of the innings, Surrey’s final total imposing but less than they would have been looking at after 40 overs when they were 241 for 4.

Warwickshire’s openers looked to attack but the Surrey bowlers were disciplined, openers Meg Austin and Abigail Freeborn both perishing trying to hit over the top, caught at mid-on and mid-off respectively. Captain Katie George sparkled briefly but then went the same way, caught at mid-on to give Alice Monaghan her second wicket.

Warwickshire scored 66 for 3 in their Powerplay, up with the rate but seemingly having lost perhaps one wicket too many. But then Davina Perrin and Nat Wraith put on a century partnership, at one stage benefiting from an unusual five penalty runs for intimidatory fielding by Dani Gregory. 

Having made 69, Perrin chipped Capsey to long-on, where Scholfield took her third catch but with the run rate under control it was a surprise when Wraith ran herself out for a fine 54. A calm half century partnership between Em Arlott and Beth Ellis took the visitors within 80 but Capsey then took her second wicket when she bowled Arlott.

Ellis carried on calmly picking up singles with the occasional boundary and Charis Pavely gave her good support, the two calmly combining in another half century partnership. Pavely went just before the end but Warwickshire sealed their record-breaking victory by three wickets with 3.3 overs to spare, Ellis finishing unbeaten on 63.

Warwickshire batter Davina Perrin: 

"Credit to their batters, it was a pretty decent total on a very good deck. We knew there were lots of runs to score out there and it was really nice to see everyone chip in.

"Our intention was to carry the same intensity we have to every other game and to take on the Powerplay, which I think we did really well. It’s something we had spoken about beforehand. That set the tone up top, which made it much easier throughout the game.

"It’s testament to our team. We've got young players with a lot of promise and we’ve got a lot of depth.”

Surrey’s Sophia Dunkley:

"I think we let it slip in all three disciplines. We bowled both sides of the wicket and we also left a few runs out there. The Warwickshire bowlers bowled well in the middle of the innings and they also batted pretty well.

"We’ve got to learn from it for the next game. It’s always a good wicket here but when they bowled on a good length it was quite tricky to force the game – we’ve got to think about what is a good total to set.

"It’s nice to contribute to the team but it’s bitter-sweet today."

Essex Women vs Lancashire Women, Match 15, Metro Bank One Day Cup Women Division I

Essex 231-5 beat Lancashire 230-8 by five wickets.

By Ben Kosky, ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay

Jodi Grewcock struck her first half-century of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup women’s competition as Essex overcame Lancashire at Chelmsford to break their duck in the tournament.

The left-hander finished unbeaten on 73 from 91 balls, accumulating singles and hitting only six boundaries as she shared a decisive fourth-wicket partnership of 89 from 88 with Flo Miller (41 from 48) and steered Essex over the line with 16 balls to spare.

Grewcock had earlier made a key contribution with the ball after Eve Jones (57 from 75) and Emma Lamb (43 from 53) gave Lancashire a strong platform with an opening stand of 106 from 117 – their third consecutive three-figure partnership.

But Grewcock (two for 36) and fellow leg-spinner Abtaha Maqsood (three for 42) triggered a middle-order collapse to restrict the visitors to 230 for eight after seven wickets went down for 76.

Essex opted to bowl after winning the toss, but could not establish control in the powerplay as Jones and Lamb built steadily, consistently picking out gaps in the field.

Jones began to accelerate, dispatching Scrivens for successive boundaries – but there was a touch of fortune about the left-hander’s drive off Maqsood that took her past 50, with Jo Gardner fumbling a mid-off catch before the ball rolled on to the rope.

Maqsood did eventually dismiss Jones, who pulled her to deep midwicket, but Lancashire still looked on course for a sizeable total when Lamb and Katie Mack (39 from 56) guided them to 133 for one just after halfway.

Kate Coppack’s second spell triggered a shift in momentum as the seamer accounted for both Lamb and Seren Smale in the space of three balls and almost 11 overs went by without Lancashire finding the boundary.

Essex’s spinners stifled the middle order, capturing wickets at regular intervals and it was only due to a late flurry by Tara Norris and Grace Potts, who added 21 from the final three overs, that the visitors reached 230.

Scrivens (32 from 49) immediately made inroads, punching the first ball of her side’s reply to the cover fence while new opening partner Lissy MacLeod (45 from 47) also produced some classy strokeplay to ensure they kept pace with the required rate.

The pair put on 77 from 86 – Essex’s best opening stand of the tournament – but both fell in successive overs from Hannah Jones (three for 39), Scrivens bowled attempting to reverse-sweep the left-armer before MacLeod speared one to mid-off.

Grewcock and Cordelia Griffith nursed the innings along with a partnership of 42 but they were held up by the teasing off-breaks of Lamb (two for 39), who removed Griffith as Norris flung out her left hand to pouch a drive that had looked destined for the boundary.

However, that wicket brought Miller to the crease, providing Essex with fresh impetus and, although she was neatly caught on the boundary with 14 still needed, Grewcock sealed the win by slamming a Lamb full toss for four.

Essex all-rounder JODI GREWCOCK, who hit 73 not out and took two for 36, said:

“It’s really nice to get off the mark, we’ve worked hard as a team and it’s good to do it at home. We’re looking forward to building on this win and hopefully more going forward.

“We showed a lot of fight coming back after drinks, with two key wickets for Kate Coppack and then me and Abs (Abtaha Maqsood) bowling as a partnership was really good – she was a real attacking threat with the ball.

“Our opening pair batted really nicely up top, especially Lissy coming in and opening the batting and they built strong foundations for the rest of us.

“When I first went in, it was about being able to absorb a bit and use their sweepers. As I got more into my innings, boundaries were freed up and I built a good partnership with Flo Miller, who did really well to keep the intent going.”

Lancashire head coach CHRIS READ said:

“We set our innings up well again for 30 overs but really faded quite dramatically in the last 20. All credit to Essex, they squeezed really hard and the combination of their spinners and the two seamers up top did a good job coming back.

“Maybe the middle order haven’t had a great deal of match time, but they’re coming into really good situations where you want them to drive the game forward – unfortunately we’ve not managed to do that today.

“We were probably 30-40 light on where we should have been at the halfway point, but I always felt the wicket was a little bit on the slow side, so if you could bowl a tight line, not give too much width and aim to hit the top of the stumps as often as possible, there could be some scoreboard pressure.

“As it was, we were in the game at times but Jodi Grewcock settled down their innings and played a very cool, calm head to get them over the line.”

The Blaze vs Hampshire Women, Match 16, Metro Bank One Day Cup Women Division I

The Blaze (192-3) beat Hampshire (189) by seven wickets with 13.1 overs to spare.

A superb century from England’s Tammy Beaumont led The Blaze to a seven-wicket victory with 13.1 overs to spare as Hampshire’s unbeaten start to the Metro Bank One-Day Cup women’s competition ended at Trent Bridge.

Beaumont finished 112 not out after sharing an unbroken 159-run partnership with Georgia Elwis (58 not out) to complete a third  win from four matches for the East Midlands side.

Another of their England stars, leg-spinner Sarah Glenn, took three for 36 as Hampshire were restricted to 189 in their 50 overs, opener Ella McCaughan top-scoring with 57.

Hampshire had two wins and a tie in their opening three fixtures, setting a record for the highest successful run chase in women’s List A cricket in England when they overhauled Lancashire’s 292 for six at Southport last week.

Winning the toss and batting first here on a used pitch, they looked well placed to continue in that form at 41 for one after the opening 10-over powerplay, even though they had lost opener Maia Bouchier in the 10th over, the England batter chopping on as she reached for a wide delivery from left-arm seamer Grace Ballinger.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Yet that early momentum was lost, home skipper Beaumont’s decision to toss the ball to Glenn at that point paying off as the England leggie not only stemmed the flow of runs but took three key wickets, bowling her 10-over allocation in a single spell from the Radcliffe Road end.

Employing the old-fashioned virtue of bowling at the stumps, Glenn dismissed Charli Knott and Rhianna Southby, both bowled making room to cut, either side of Georgia Adams falling leg before, trying to work to leg. It left Hampshire with work to do at 91 for four from 25 overs.

They soon suffered another blow as McCaughan, who had completed a third consecutive half-century after her career-best unbeaten 133 against Lancashire, played loosely at a ball with which Josie Groves, The Blaze’s second leg spinner, found turn and bounce and gave a simple catch to backward point.

Charley Phillips, the 21-year-old former Sunrisers seamer, had Abi Norgrove caught at deep square leg and Nancy Harman beaten for pace to finish with two for 50, before Freya Davies (25 not out) and Poppy Tulloch (18 not out) combined in the best partnership of the innings, adding 46 in the final 10.4 overs of the Hampshire innings.

It felt like a below par total, but putting runs on the board proved equally difficult for the home side as Freya Davies and Lauren Bell restricted them to 31 for two in the powerplay, taking a wicket apiece as Amy Jones failed to clear Bell at mid-off off the former before a poor shot from Kathryn Bryce off Bell gave backward point an easy catch.

When Sarah Bryce pulled Bell to be caught behind square, The Blaze were 33 for three.

Yet Beaumont and Elwiss were able to bring their experience to bear in negotiating Hampshire’s attempts to frustrate them, coming through 10 overs of spin before upping the tempo to take the total to 106 for three from 25, Beaumont pulling Poppy Tulloch for consecutive fours to leave The Blaze needing another 84.

Beaumont’s half-century came from 73 balls with four boundaries, Elwiss reaching the milestone from 10 fewer deliveries, also with a quartet of fours, after which Beaumont began to look for a quick finish, advancing into the 90s with a towering six over long-on off Davies and a four into the same area, pulling Bell for a 10th four in the next over before a scrambled single took her to a 15th career hundred in List A cricket from 110 balls.

And it was Beaumont who finished the job with her 11th boundary to get the job done after a partnership with Elwiss that could not have been better paced

The Blaze skipper Tammy Beaumont said:

“It’s great to come back here after two wins on the road and get a win like that against a really strong Hampshire team. To keep them to under 190 was an amazing effort by our bowlers.

“On a used pitch  we went away from our usual policy of rotating the seamers and getting Glenny (Sarah Glenn) on early worked really well and Josie (Groves) did a really great job supporting her at the other end. Glenny has come back from a rehab stint on her back, she’s worked really hard on her action and she is starting to see the rewards. She was outstanding today.

“Georgia and I know each other really well. She is an outstanding signing for us. I had her at the Welsh Fire and she is very much my sounding board as captain, with the ideas that she brings. She announced her intent as soon as she came out today and got us going again after losing those early wickets. We were still thinking positively and we knew that if they bowled bad balls we could score and there wasn’t too much scoreboard pressure, so it was a case of play our game, nothing excessively risky.

“We are both quite good at taking singles off the spinners and we just talked about scoring off as many balls as we could rather than looking for boundaries.”

Hampshire Women interim head coach Paul Prichard said:

“We didn't get enough runs, obviously, which was our biggest downfall. We had a couple of soft dismissals in the middle of the innings, which set us back. It was a used wicket, but it played fine and we’ve no complaints about that, we just didn’t play well enough.

“I felt The Blaze bowlers bowled very well, held their lengths. Sarah Glenn bowled very well in the middle, didn’t give us much to work with and we were short, really, in that department.

“In the previous three games we’ve been able to get good partnerships but no one did that today. We needed someone to stay with Ella McCaughan and we didn’t get that.

“Even so, getting to 190 gave us an outside chance and we got some quick wickets but once Tammy (Beaumont) and Georgia (Elwiss) came together with all their experience they played beautifully to get them over the line.”
