>Hampshire registered a second tie in four Women's T20 Blast games as table-topping Surrey dramatically maintained their unbeaten start in the short format.

>Surrey all-rounder Alice Monaghan was tasked with defending six from the final over but six singles meant the scores ended level at 121 in a low-scoring thriller.

>Elsewhere, Meg Lanning made her second successive unbeaten fifty to guide Lancashire Thunder to their first victory in this year's Blast.

>The Australian batter finished on 75 not out off 48 balls as Thunder defeated Somerset by seven wickets in a one-sided match at Emirates Old Trafford.

>Durham comfortably defended 141 against struggling Warwickshire to continue their own solid start.

>The biggest drama of the night occurred in Southampton, as Hampshire, who had already tied with Somerset this season, did so again to end Surrey's 100% start.

>Surrey struggled to tame a slow pitch, with only Alice Davidson-Richards thriving with a 40, while fellow birthday girl Amanda-Jade Wellington picked up 3-25.

>The visitors had looked to have locked up the match before Nancy Harman whacked 43 in 26 balls to turn the game into a last-over nail-biter.

>The first five balls all saw singles – whether off the bat, leg or bye – and the last ball ended up as a run out as Rhianna Southby failed to get back for a second run.

>Elsewhere, Warwickshire suffered a fourth successive defeat after being bowled out for 113 inside 19 overs.

>Durham earlier totalled a battling 140-5 including a T20 career best 61 off 39 balls for Bess Heath.

>Mady Villiers and fellow spinner Katie Levick then struck twice for polished Durham, as did the seam of Australian Heather Graham and Sophia Turner.

>In Manchester, meanwhile, Somerset suffered their first Blast loss of the summer.

>Having posted a modest 137-6 in their 20 overs, a total in which skipper Sophie Luff made 42, they were powerless to prevent Lancashire reaching their target.

>Lanning and Eve Jones shared nine boundaries during a powerplay that yielded 62 runs as the hosts cruised to victory inside 16 overs.
