Royal London One-Day Cup: Lancashire's Alex Davies hits career-best century to set up huge win

Lancashire's Alex Davies hit a career-best 147 as his maiden List A century sealed a thumping 192-run victory over Durham in the North Group.

The wicketkeeper reached his hundred off just 88 balls as he shared an opening stand of 175 with England hopeful Keaton Jennings (73).

Having struck 16 fours and a six in his 137-ball innings, the 23-year-old was eventually caught off Nathan Rimmington as he attempted a ramp shot - before a rapid 48 off 34 balls from Jordan Clark saw the hosts post an imposing 314-7 at Old Trafford.

Jeetan Patel starred with 4-33 before Sam Hain hit a superb unbeaten 102 as Warwickshire secured their first win of this season's One-Day Cup against Yorkshire at Headingley.

Hain then put on 87 for the second wicket with Jonathan Trott (50) and 97 with Adam Hose for the fourth, and went on to complete his second successive century to help Warwickshire bounce back from defeat at home to Derbyshire on Thursday, winning by five wickets with 4.2 overs remaining. SCORECARD

Despite a spirited knock of 90 from Heino Kuhn, the visitors, who have started the competition with successive defeats, were bowled out for 243 in the 44th over. SCORECARD

Half-centuries from Josh Cobb, Alex Wakely and Adam Rossington, backed up by some slow left-arm guile from Graeme White, helped Northamptonshire Steelbacks to a 49-run victory over Nottinghamshire Outlaws at Market Warsop.

The visitors posted 339, Cobb top-scoring with 78 from 90 balls, while Wakely made 72 and Rossington 50. Harry Gurney, Luke Fletcher and Jake Ball picked up two wickets apiece for the hosts.
