Brad Hodge unbeaten 154 outgunned Ian Ward's 136 in the outstanding match of the latest round of National League matches, as Leicestershire held out for a one-run victory over Sussex at Horsham. Elsewhere, Shane Warne celebrated his unexpected early return from Zimbabwe with four wickets and a useful 48, as Hampshire beat Gloucestershire, while Scott Newman's 106 gave Surrey a long-overdue victory to bring an end to their disastrous start to the season. At Old Trafford, Sajid Mahmood and Alex Wharf preserved Lancashire's unbeaten record, and at Derby Somerset's wicketkeeper, Carl Gazzard, cracked an impressive 157 to secure a 114-run victory.
