Birmingham 186 for 4 (Hain 79, Bell 57) beat Leicestershire 158 for 9 (Cosgrove 42) by 28 runsScorecard Birmingham put their NatWest t20 Blast campaign back on track after three straight defeats with a 28-run victory over Leicestershire at Edgbaston.The Bears 186 for four was built on an opening stand of 125 inside 13 overs by Sam Hain, who scored 79 off 52 deliveries, and Ian Bell, who made a 35-ball 57.While those two were together the Bears looked set to total over 200 but the Foxes, led by Clint McKays one for 16 off four overs, fought back well to leave a target around par on a good batting pitch.But though a string of Foxes batsmen got a start, none played the decisive innings the team needed as they fell short on 158 for nine.A Bears attack including Keith Barker for the first time in the competition this season kept taking wickets at important times to reassert their qualification bid and extinguish the Foxes.After the visitors won the toss, Hain and Bell began in measured fashion, with the latter still to score after two overs, before accelerating past 60 in the sixth over.The century partnership arrived in the 12th over, both openers having taken advantage of a short boundary to clear the ropes on the off-side.Hain was first to his half-century, from 36 balls, Bells following from 32, but the latters dismissal after striking four fours and four sixes in his 57, edging Rob Taylor behind, signalled a sharp drop in momentum.Bells wicket was quickly followed by that of Matt Wade, on his home debut, as the Australian fell lbw to his countryman McKay for five.When Hain sought another six - his third of the innings to go with nine fours - off Cameron Delport but found only the hands of Ben Raine at deep extra-cover, three wickets had fallen for 26 runs in 18 balls.Laurie Evans perished in similar fashion to Hain and although Rikki Clarke (24 not out) landed a couple of hefty blows, a skilful final over from McKay sent the Foxes into the mid-innings break in perky mood.The Foxes reply started briskly with Mark Cosgrove and Mark Pettini adding 36 in 27 balls before the latter pulled Oliver Hannon-Dalby to Jeetan Patel at deep mid-wicket.Delports 18-ball 20 included an audacious reverse-swept six off Josh Poysden but the South African perished attempting a repeat off Ateeq Javid.As the required run-rate rose, greater risks had to be taken. Cosgrove (42 from 29 balls) hoisted Patel to long off, Lewis Hill charged the same bowler, missed, and was adroitly stumped by Wade and when Farhaan Behardien lifted Clarke to long-off all that remained in the Foxes locker was some futile swishing.

Somerset 250 for 9 (Allenby 69, Jayawardene 55) beat Hampshire 245 (Smith 59, Adams 50, Groenewald 3-56) by five runsScorecard Mahela Jayawardene and Jim Allenby both scored half-centuries to set Somerset up for a five run victory, knocking Hampshire out of the Royal London Cup in the process. Somerset already had their South Group top spot guaranteed with Essexs washed out game at Gloucestershire and will face Worcestershire in the quarter finals.Hampshire went into the final over needing 14 to win with two wickets in hand but Gareth Andrew fell to Tim Groenewalds first ball, via a steepling catch. Mason Crane and Brad Wheal scampered nine off the next four deliveries but Groenewald sealed victory with a catch off his own bowling.Two wickets a piece from Lewis Gregory, Roelof van der Merwe and Max Waller helped complete the victory in tense circumstances.Jayawardene and Allenby, who had won the toss and batted in gloomy conditions, appeared in little trouble as they put on 108 for the first wicket. Former Sri Lanka international Jayawardene was the first to reach fifty, from 54 balls, before he was followed to the milestone by Allenby, who had earlier passed his 2500 List A runs, in 62 deliveries.But the partnership, which had come in little over 20 overs, ended when Jayawardene slogged Crane to Jimmy Adams at long on, who slipped but held the catch. Allenby departed nine overs later spooning a catch to Gareth Berg at short fine leg, to start a regular fall of wickets for the visitors.Tom Abell was bowled round his legs by Crane and Peter Trego caught on the fine leg boundary ropes by the spinner after an industrious 31, including two huge sixes over the leg side.Hildreth was unlucky with his dismiissal as Andrew produced an outrageous one-handed catch at backward point before Gregory was bowled by Liam Dawson.dddddddddddd. Ryan Davies was caught by long-on Will Smith, Groenewald was on the wrong end of a fleet-handed stumping and van der Merwe was the last man back in the shed but the visitors reached 250 for 9.Adams and Tom Alsop attempted to follow the example set of Allenby and Jayawardene by steadily accumulating runs in the chase but could not have the same effect as Alsop was lbw to Gregory after a stand of 49. Adams, reached 3500 career format runs, on his way to his 27th limited-overs half-century off 58 balls but after facing just one more ball was trapped leg before by van der Merwe.Adam Wheater was also adjudged lbw to the slow left-armer before stand-in skipper Liam Dawson and Smith added 30 for the fourth wicket to keep the score ticking. But Dawson became the fourth player to fall leg before as Hampshire felt the squeeze, the run rate dropping to three an over.A frustrated Ryan McLaren was bowled trying to give himself more space, while Smith reached fifty in 77 balls.Hampshire needed 83 from the final 10 overs, and lost the important Smith when he was caught behind and Gareth Berg was run out attempting an over throw. That left Hampshire 192 for 7 but Lewis McManus and Andrew kept Hampshire in the hunt with a partnership of 32 in 4.2 overs.Andrew struck a sweet six over midwicket and a swept four but Groenewald took his 100th List A scalp when McManus was bowled and although Wheal hit a four and a six in Gregorys penultimate over it was not enough.
