Zak Crawley answered England’s cut by smashing a 75 from 41 off the bat for Kent, keeping the target in reach. The Spitfires chased 199 with a steady partnership from Tawanda Muyeye and Daniel Bell‑Drummond before Crawley and Sam Billings rattled 55 off 32. The match finished with Kent 200 for 8.

Lancashire edged Notts at Old Trafford after a shaky start. Michael Jones fell early, but Jennings and Hurst piled on 97 for the second wicket, setting a 200‑plus target. Benny Howell’s 1‑24 spell and McDermott’s relentless attack dismantled the opposition, while a lone six from Pennington sparked a brief rally for the team success today.

Crawley’s knock lifted Kent’s confidence after being dropped, while Lancashire’s win keeps them near the top of the table. The Spitfires’ disciplined chase showed they can finish, and the Outlaws’ bowlers proved lethal, especially Howell’s economical spell. Both sides will eye the next weekend’s fixtures to cement their standings in the league campaign this season.

The results reinforce Kent’s resilience after a recent squad shake‑up, while Lancashire’s performance solidifies their push for the upper half of the standings. Fans will watch how the teams adapt as the tournament progresses toward the semi‑finals, where every win carries heavier weight.
