Vasconcelos stands out on rough T20 Blast Wednesday

Ricardo Vasconcelos was among the standout performers on a difficult night for the Vitality Blast's South African contingent.

Gloucestershire vs Northamptonshire – Northants won by 8 wickets

Vasconcelos struck 36, hitting five fours, as Northants cruised to victory. Marchant de Lange and Graeme van Buuren both went wicketless for Gloucestershire in a one-sided contest, with David Willey (73) and Nathan McSweeney (72*) making light work of the chase.

Surrey vs Essex – Surrey won by 7 runs

Simon Harmer made 15 and went for 36 without a wicket as Essex fell just short of Surrey’s imposing 240, with Jason Roy (65) and Ollie Pope (59) the star contributors of the home total.

Lancashire vs Derbyshire – Lancashire won by 4 runs

Wayne Madsen fell for just eight, bowled by Tom Aspinwall, while Matthew Montgomery scored two after taking 1-12 in another frustrating night for Derbyshire.
