Essex starred on day one of the women's competition, securing a bonus point as they chased down 165 in 14.2 overs against Warwickshire, courtesy of quickfire half-centuries from Alice Macleod and Cordelia Griffith.

All 18 counties were in action in the men's competition – Surrey put in the most dominant performance as Jason Roy's 45 (19) and Tom Curran's 49* (20) powered them to 213 against Lancashire, before Reece Topley (2-27) and Yousef Majid (3-42) secured a 59-run win.
