Adam Lyth smoked a second Royal London One-Day Cup century in two days as Yorkshire Vikings thumped Roses rivals Lancashire Lightning by 242 runs on Duckworth-Lewis at Emirates Old Trafford.

Lyth backed up his 125 from 78 balls against Northamptonshire Steelbacks with a career-best 136 from 92 deliveries on Wednesday, an innings which featured 12 fours and seven sixes, as Yorkshire posted 325-7 from their revised 47 overs.

Lancashire were then skittled for just 84 in 17.3 overs, the hosts suffering a meltdown after Martin Guptill (45) was bowled by David Willey as they lost their final eight wickets for 20 runs, including Jos Buttler for a duck.

Willey (3-44) - who dismissed Buttler caught behind - and Kyle Carver (3-5) shared six wickets as Yorkshire recorded their highest-ever win in List A cricket and Lancashire suffered their heaviest runs defeat.

Michael Lumb, meanwhile, continued his sparkling form with a third One-Day Cup ton in a row in Nottinghamshire Outlaws' two-wicket defeat to Durham in a rain-affected clash at Emirates Riverside.

Lumb - who hit 184 against Northamptonshire and 133 versus Warwickshire Bears - cracked 105 in Notts' 274-5 from 42 overs, Dan Christian (57) also impressing with a second straight fifty.

Durham were set a target of 252 from 37 overs following further rain and got there courtesy of half-centuries from Paul Collingwood (69) and Michael Richardson (64) and Keaton Jennings (13no) clubbing the final two balls for six and four respectively off a devastated Harry Gurney (5-51).

Elsewhere in the North Group, Worcestershire and Leicestershire Foxes' game at New Road and Warwickshire Bears and Derbyshire Falcons' match at Edgbaston were abandoned due to heavy rain.

Derbyshire, the only unbeaten side in the division, lead the table after four games, the Falcons' haul of six points placing them one point ahead of Worcestershire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.

In the South Group, Kent Spitfires' Matt Coles smashed Essex Eagles for 91 from 52 balls from the No 8 spot - but still ended up on the losing side as the hosts won by five wickets at Chelmsford.

Coles clubbed his last 58 runs from 18 balls and dominated a seventh-wicket stand of 140 in just 74 deliveries with James Tredwell (47no) as Kent recovered from 135-6 to card 285-8.

However, Essex skipper Ravi Bopara (74no) steered his side to victory with five balls to spare, a win that moved the Eagles into top spot, above Glamorgan, halfway through the group stage.

Elsewhere, Tom Alsop's 116, his first List A hundred, helped Hampshire down Surrey by six runs at The Ageas Bowl - the home side successfully defending 289-8, despite Ben Foakes (72) and Zafar Ansari (62) putting on 130 and Sam (42) and Tom Curran (25) adding 55.

Gareth Berg (4-64) was Hampshire's hero in the final over, shipping just four of the 11 runs Surrey needed for victory and dismissing Tom Curran and Gareth Batty in the process.
