ROUND-UP: Narrow win enough for Warwickshire

They lost England man Jonathan Trott for two early on and they needed some middle-order hitting from Darren Maddy to bring them to 137-7.

Despite the modest size of the chase, the Foxes somehow failed to take the victory, managing only 129-6 as their dreadful run at Grace Road continued.

Big-hitting Steven Croft sent Lancashire into the last eight on the back of a tense seven-run win against Worcestershire at New Road.

With Croft making 88 from 52 balls, Lancashire piled up 198-6 - their biggest total of the campaign – but they were stretched to the limit when Moeen Ali launched a blistering counter-attack with 72 from 39 deliveries.

Even when the left-hander was caught on the boundary off Gary Keedy after hitting eight fours and four sixes, the Royals kept up their chase until finishing tantalisingly short on 191-7.

Northamptonshire clinched the fourth quarter-final place from the northern group – Nottinghamshire having already qualified – as they eased to a seven-wicket win at Durham.

In the South Group, Hampshire's progress in the competition was sealed by virtue of a 45-run win over already-qualified Sussex and a superior run-rate to Surrey.

Group winners Somerset lost their last game against Kent, while second-placed Essex also lost out by 11 runs to Middlesex.
