The Blaze kept their hopes of a treble very much alive with a comfortable bonus-point victory over Somerset in the Women’s One-Day Cup at Trent Bridge.

The Nottingham-based side now need just one win from their last two fixtures to guarantee a place in the final back on their home ground on 19 September.

But their next test will come against second-placed Hampshire, whose final group game on Wednesday, against The Blaze, takes place in Southampton. They have also already booked a place in the knockout stages.

While The Blaze won by six wickets, there were victories too for chasing Hampshire, third-placed Warwickshire and Surrey – but it was again the all-conquering T20 Blast and County Cup winners who starred.

They maintained their five-point gap at the top of the table in the 50-over format ahead of Hampshire, who earned a bonus point in beating Yorkshire by seven wickets, Surrey, who hammered Essex by 118 runs, and Lancashire, who squeezed home by three runs at home to Durham at their new home on the outskirts of Preston.
