Worcestershire, Hampshire and Somerset win to go joint top in One-Day Cup Group A, while Gloucestershire win in Group B.
Worcestershire pulled off a dramatic run chase to beat Kent as they created a four-way tie with Wednesday's fellow One-Day Cup victors Hampshire and Somerset on eight points at the top of Group A, along with well beaten Derbyshire.
After a three-wicket burst from 18-year-old Shropshire-born paceman Jack Home reduced Kent to 70-5, they still looked in trouble at 115-6 before Grant Stewart and Charlie Stobo conjured up List A best batting performances to help their side recover to 259 all out. In a game reduced to 48 overs a side, it looked like the hosts were wobbling on 238-7, but Khan and Hinley coolly saw them home on 260-7.Half-centurion Joe Weatherley has played in three One-Day Cup finals for Hampshire, winning it at Lord's in 2018 - and losing in 2019 and 2023In only his second appearance in this year's competition, Weatherley put on 113 for the second wicket with Nick Gubbins as Hampshire piled up 295-8.
After dismissing Zak Chappell and Harry Moore with the final two balls of the 35th over, the 18-year-old then returned to trap last man Daryn Dupavillon lbw to finish with 5-19 and bowl out the visitors for 152.
