Sussex and Hampshire fight it out

beat Kent by 224 runs in the Championship at Horsham. But Hampshire kept up the pressure by reaching an awesome 404-5 off 113 overs to beat Yorkshire with 10 balls to spare at Leeds. Zimbabwean Greg Lamb hit an unbeaten 32 in a sixth-wicket stand of 47 with the heroic Jimmy Adams (168 not out) as Hampshire raced to their target.
In the C&G Trophy, Sussex lost their 100 per cent record when Kent won by six wickets at Tunbridge Wells. South Africa’s Justin Kemp smashed 54 off 20 balls to propel Kent to their 285-run target.
Skipper Shane Warne took 6-42, his best figures in limited-overs cricket, to inspire Hampshire to a runaway eight-wicket win over Surrey at Whitgift School, Croydon. Warne snapped up the last six wickets in just 20 balls as Surrey were dismissed for 166. Michael Carberry, playing against his first county, then struck six sixes in an 84-ball innings of 88 as Hampshire cantered in. All this after they reached their hotel just before 3 o’clock that morning after a nightmare coach journey from Leeds!
Elsewhere, Durham pipped Yorkshire off the last ball in the North-East, Middlesex beat Essex by five wickets at Lord’s and Northants sufffered a seventh straight defeat after going down by six wickets at home to Leicestershire.
