Hampshire have just eased past Lancashire to join Somerset in the final of the Royal London One-Day cup. It's been a bitty game, and Hampshire were cruising at one point but left the door open a little for Lancs to come back into it.

Saqib Mahmood looked good for Lancs again while James Vince had a confident knock with the bat for Hampshire - timely, as I don't think England have named a CWC replacement yet for Alex Hales (unless I missed it).

The other thing of note is that Jimmy Anderson had to leave the field after the batsman struck him on the side of the knee, returning Anderson's delivery. It looked a very sore one, though Anderson was able to walk off unaided. Not good timing, given the Ashes are forthcoming and England would probably be wise to wrap him in cotton wool (and then bubble wrap and then maybe a suit of armour).
