Yorkshire made it two wins from two, as they chased down 144 to beat Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge. 

Having won the toss and chosen to field, Yorkshire restricted their hosts to 143-7 from their 20 overs, with Liam Plunkett impressing recording figures of 2-18 from his four overs. 

On a slow pitch it was a total which gave Nottinghamshire a slight chance at the interval, mainly thanks to 41 from Samit Patel and 38 from Steven Mullaney. 

In reply, Yorkshire reached their target with seven balls remaining thanks to a match-winning innings from their captain Andrew Gale. Gale hit five boundaries and a six in his unbeaten 68, with debutant Glenn Maxwell adding a pair of maximum's in his 20 from 12 balls. 

Durham also kept hold of their 100% record, after defending 155 against Lancashire at Old Trafford. 

Durham skipper Mark Stoneman top-scored with 57 from 38 balls, adding to useful contributions from Paul Collingwood (30 from 19) and Gordon Muchall (21 from 23) as the visitors posted 155 from 19.4 overs. 

Lancashire looked to be in a strong position at 131-4 with 13 balls remaining, before they collapsed, ending on 139-9 from their 20 overs with John Hastings (2-22) and Usman Arshad (2-9) impressing for Durham who also pulled off three run-outs as they won by 16 runs.

Leicestershire chased down their target of 164 to beat Derbyshire by seven wickets at Grace Road. 

Derbyshire's Chesney Hughes put his side in a strong position at halfway with 59 from 44 balls, including five 4's and three 6's, as the Falcons posted 163-6 from their 20 overs. 

Leicestershire though knocked the runs off quite comfortably for the loss of just three wickets, with Niall O'Brien playing the major innings, remaining unbeaten on 47 from 27 balls. 

Recordo Gordon and Rikki Clarke were the stars at Edgbaston as Warwickshire dismissed their local rivals Worcestershire for 126 to win by 18 runs. 

Six Warwickshire batsmen scored between 18 and 27 in a total of 144-5 as they were held back by a strong performance from Brett D'Oliveira who registered 2-21 from his four overs. 

Worcester never really came close to chasing down the total as Gordon (3-18) and Clarke (3-26) ripped through the Rapids batting line-up, with Daryl Mitchell top scoring as he made 34 from 31 balls.
