Bank Holiday C&G action

Yesterday's C&G Trophy matches contained few shocks, apart from Michael Vaughan completing a full match for Yorkshire, as his side beat Scotland by six wickets. The idiocy of only one team from each of the new ten-team conferences qualifying for the play-offs is becoming more apparent as more games become meaningless.

That did not stop Surrey and Glamorgan from conjuring a gripping game yesterday in the only match that did not require the services of Mr Duckworth and Mr Lewis. Both sides dominated with the ball as Surrey recovered from 37 for five and 117 for seven to post 200, a target that was 68 runs too high for the Welshmen, who also reached 117 but did not have an Azhar Mahmood to steer the tail home.

Derbyshire won a rain-affected match against Worcestershire by seven wickets, Michael Di Venuto making an unbeaten 93.

Hampshire beat Gloucestershire by 62 runs, James Bruce taking four for 18.

Durham beat Leicestershire by three wickets with 14 balls to spare.

Lancashire saw the chasing pack catch them up in the North Conference after their match with Nottinghamshire was abandoned after 21 overs.

Warwickshire beat Northamptonshire by 36 runs in an odd game that was curtailed dramatically by rain and would have been abandoned if the showers had come five minutes earlier.

Kent made 194 for four in 23 overs then pinned Ireland back to 16 for five on the way to an easy win.

Robin Martin-Jenkins and Luke Wright had an unbroken stand of 57 as Sussex continued their unbeaten season with victory over Somerset.
