Leicestershire defeated Worcestershire in a thrilling match by just four runs where batters and bowlers from both sides were in the game. Sussex overcame Gloucestershire by a fair margin of 48 runs to improve their net run rate. Somerset trashed Hampshire by 63 runs and sent a message to other teams in the tournament.

Yorkshire beat Derbyshire by nine wickets with 11 balls to spare in yet another one-sided encounter. Middlesex overcame Kent by just four wickets in a thriller. The match between Leicestershire and Worcestershire was the best of the lot, as no team had a clear advantage against their opponents till the last ball of the match.
