Colin Ingram's sensational form for Glamorgan in the Royal London One-Day Cup continues as he hit a third hundred for the tournament in the15-run win over Kent.

Ingram (114) followed up his ton in Glamorgan's latest win over Hampshire with a 98-ball effort as the hosts amassed 356-7.

Darren Stevens (147) then cracked an incredible 48-ball century for Kent in reply, but couldn't quite get his team over the line as they slipped to a slender defeat when bowled out for 341 in the 48th over.

Kumar Sangakkara hit a hundred as Surrey beat Hampshire by 66 runs in their clash at The Oval.

Sangakkara's unbeaten 124 - off 121 balls - overshadowed George Bailey's own fine hundred for Hampshire, the Australian hitting 145 not out in his team's total of 271-8.

Rain intervened at the 38-over mark of Surrey's chase, with the team 238-2 and well ahead of the Duckworth-Lewis par score.

Elsewhere in the South Group, Essex beat Somerset by 72 runs in a top-of-the-table tussle in Taunton.

Chasing 271 to win, Graham Clark (114) hit a superb century for Durham - sharing in a century opening stand with Keaton Jennings (47) - but the visitors drastically fell away, with no-one else scoring greater than 17 as they finished on 255-9.

Ian Bell's 98 helped holders Warwickshire to only their second win of the 2017 tournament, a five-wicket win over Yorkshire at Edgbaston.

Joe Root top-scored for the visitors with his 83 off 98 balls as Yorkshire tallied 281-8, but it wasn't to be enough.

Liddle took 5-52 as Sussex were skittled for 240 - despite Luke Wright's 84 - and Gloucestershire reached their target with eight balls to spare, Jack Taylor blasting an unbeaten 64 off only 36 balls.

Leicestershire kept their slim hopes of qualification for the final stages alive with a comfortable five-wicket win over Derbyshire at Grace Road.

Alex Hughes top-scored for Derbyshire with 96 not out but ran out of partners as they were bowled out for 219, with Leicestershire knocking off the runs with more than 10 overs to spare.
