Warwickshire kept hopes alive with a two-wicket win over Lancashire, Vansh Jani scoring a career-best 88 to chase 311.

Gloucestershire beat Nottinghamshire as James Bracey hit 103, while Northamptonshire thrashed Somerset. Hampshire hammered their second-best List A score to beat Sussex, 18-year-old Ben Mayes scoring 109 and Toby Albert hitting six consecutive sixes. Glamorgan edged Worcestershire on the final ball.
