Somerset skipper Sophie Luff produced a career-best 82 not out from 53 balls to lead her side to victory over Surrey. Luff's imperious innings, her third half-century in four games, rescued Somerset from 59-4 as they triumphed on 154-6 despite Alice Monaghan's 3-24. Left-arm spinner Olivia Barnes (3-21) had earlier reduced Surrey to 60-4 before Jemima Spence's unbeaten 51 spearheaded a recovery to 153-5.

In Nottingham, England all-rounder Villiers claimed 3-21 with off spin as The Blaze were bowled out for 153. The Durham star then struck 47 from 34 balls in an opening stand of 83 with skipper Hollie Armitage (unbeaten 50 off 47 balls). Bess Heath added 36 from 18 balls as Durham eased home with five balls to spare, with Georgia Elwiss top-scoring for The Blaze with 31 from 24 balls.

Essex defeated Lancashire with MacLeod perfecting the chase after her earlier 59 against Warwickshire. She built partnerships of 40 and 66 with Grace Scrivens and Jodi Grewcock respectively. Lancashire Thunder struggled to 128 after Scrivens claimed 3-23. These results significantly shake up the standings as Surrey and The Blaze suffer their first defeats of the 2026 Women's T20 Blast.
