Three days after being crowned T20 Blast champions, Northamptonshire got their One-Day Cup campaign off to a winning start in a thrilling high-scoring game against Warwickshire at Wantage Road.<\/b><\/p>\n

Bears captain Sam Hain’s 80 and a first half-century from 20-year-old Theo Wylie (65) set the platform for the visitors, who both fell to Raphy Weatherall (4-56).<\/p>\n

Luke Procter, one of four members playing in Saturday night’s triumph over Hampshire<\/a>, then conceded 23 runs off his last two overs to take the visitors beyond 300.<\/p>\n

But two of that Northants quartet – Ricardo Vasconcelos and captain Nathan McSweeney – hit half-centuries as the Steelbacks made a confident assault on the 313 needed.<\/p>\n

The pair put on 65 before Vasconcelos was run out for 64 but George Bartlett’s attacking 72 off 63 balls ensured momentum never dropped.<\/p>\n

Wicketkeeper Lewis McManus (27 off 19 balls) and Aadi Sharma (14 off 12) powered Northants home with five wickets and eight deliveries to spare. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Group A, despite being without 17 players because of Hundred commitments, Surrey’s<\/b> squad depth was again evident in their seven-wicket win against Lancashire.<\/b><\/p>\n

Michael Jones’ run-a-minute, unbeaten 67 provided the third half-century in the Red Rose’s 280-5, with others from Keaton Jennings (64) and Australia’s Marcus Harris (60).<\/p>\n

But Surrey made an excellent start with Dom Sibley (65) and Ryan Patel (58) sharing a century stand for the first wicket before 20-year-old Adam Thomas’ unbeaten 82, and wicketkeeper Josh Blake’s belligerent 59 off 38 balls, secured a comfortable seven-wicket win.<\/p>\n

Somerset <\/b>opener Savin Perera celebrated signing his first professional contract a few days earlier with a composed half-century as he and Tom Lammonby helped them to 258-9 against Nottinghamshire.<\/b><\/p>\n

With Lammonby eight runs away from a century with more than eight overs remaining, hopes of a total near 300 were high but when he perished for 92, Joe Pocklington (3-58) limited any late acceleration as Somerset lost 5-54 off 53 balls.<\/p>\n

That burst was to prove vital as Freddie McCann’s composed 70 and Haseeb Hameed’s 66 meant a late wobble triggered by Migael Pretorius (4-41) was in vain as Notts got home by four wickets on 259-6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
