Surrey secure three straight wins as Yorkshire claim first One-Day Cup victory in 2026

England's Danni Wyatt-Hodge fell four runs short of a century but Surrey still beat Durham by three wickets to stay unbeaten in the One-Day Cup.

Wyatt-Hodge falls short of landmark score England opener Danni Wyatt-Hodge came agonizingly close to a second consecutive One-Day Cup century, finishing on 96 as Surrey chased down 257 to beat Durham by three wickets. Wyatt-Hodge had earlier smashed 124 against Warwickshire last weekend but was dismissed attempting a winning boundary in the 36.4th over. Australian all-rounder Jess Jonassen starred with the ball, claiming four wickets for 18 runs with her left-arm spin as Yorkshire claimed their first tier-one county win. Yorkshire defeated The Blaze by 70 runs at Headingley in their third game of the weekend. ## Durham’s strong start fades against Surrey Durham appeared in complete control at the Riverside after Hollie Armitage’s marathon 111-ball hundred set up a competitive total against Surrey. Armitage combined with Mady Villiers for a 112-run stand for the third wicket before being caught at cover in the 44th over. Surrey’s innings looked under threat early when England seamer Lauren Filer ripped through the top order with the new ball, removing Paige Scholfield, Alice Davidson-Richards, and having Emma Capsey caught behind to leave them at 62-4. Wyatt-Hodge and Kira Chathli rebuilt with an 83-run partnership in just 15 overs before Filer returned to dismiss Chathli for 58 and Jemima Spence, finishing her spell with figures of 5-59. ## Surrey’s late push seals dramatic win Despite Lauren Filer’s five-wicket haul, Surrey kept their chase alive through Wyatt-Hodge, who struck a six and 13 fours in her 96-run innings. She was eventually dismissed by Katie Levick’s leg-spin at long-on, but teammate Kalea Moore hit the winning boundary just two deliveries later to complete the three-wicket victory inside 36.4 overs. Durham had finished on 256-8, with Armitage’s 14 fours and Villiers’ 55 helping set up a challenging target. Filer’s 5-59 was the best bowling performance of the day, marking her 35th England cap across formats. ## Yorkshire end losing streak with dominant display Yorkshire secured their first tier-one county win of the season by defeating The Blaze by 70 runs at Headingley, with Jess Jonassen’s all-round performance proving decisive. Opting to bat first after skipper Kirstie Gordon’s decision, Yorkshire rode on Lauren Winfield-Hill and Jonassen’s 122-run second-wicket stand before both fell in consecutive overs. Winfield-Hill top-scored with 90 off 101 balls, while Jonassen contributed 67 off 57 as Yorkshire slipped to 199-5 in five overs. Sterre Kalis then accelerated with three sixes and eight fours in her 61 off 42 to lift the total to 280-9. ## Blaze’s batting collapse hands Yorkshire victory In the chase, The Blaze made a promising start through Marie Kelly and Kathryn Bryce, who put on 126 for the second wicket. However, both were removed in the same Jonassen over, with Bryce caught off a leading edge for 56 and Bryce stumped by Winfield-Hill for 55. Left-arm spinner Jonassen, supported by Claudie Cooper, tightened the screws in the middle order, reducing The Blaze to 162-8. Gordon (24) and Ballinger (29) added late resistance, but Yorkshire bowled out the visitors for 210 in the 42nd over. ## Essex suffer third straight defeat against Warwickshire At Chelmsford, Essex suffered their third loss of the competition after a batting collapse against Warwickshire. Without Jodi Grewcock, the hosts were bowled out for a modest 157, with skipper Grace Scrivens top-scoring with 59 off 88 balls. Scrivens’ innings included eight fours before she was caught by Hannah Baker when the score read 125, and the remaining wickets fell for just 32 runs in the next seven overs. Warwickshire began steadily at 66-1 but lost Meg Austin and Davina Perrin (43) in quick succession, the latter departing after swinging a Sophia Smale delivery to backward square. ## Warwickshire hold nerve to clinch victory An unbeaten partnership of 36 between Katie George, who hit Sophie Munro for four to finish on 42 not out, and Emily Arlott (18), saw Warwickshire reach 160-5 with more than nine overs remaining. The victory marked Warwickshire’s second win of the competition, coming on the back of strong bowling and controlled batting in the middle order. The win moved them up the standings, while Essex dropped to the bottom of the table with three consecutive defeats. Grace Scrivens’ fifty was the lone highlight in a disappointing team performance.
