Surrey Stars sealed their second win of the Kia Super League to boost their bid to reach the semi-finals as they thumped Lancashire Thunder by seven wickets

Stars' impressive win at Woodbridge Road, Guildford helped them move onto five points from their opening four games - level with Western Storm and second-placed Loughborough Lightning.

Second-from-bottom Thunder suffered their third defeat of the season and remain just above winless Yorkshire Diamonds in the standings.
