South East Division
Sogginess abounded in the south east. Middlesex beat Essex by 18 runs on Duckworth-Lewis at Lord's, leaving Essex to head into the quarters on a winning note. Tim Murtagh and Dirk Nannes forced an early wobble under swinging conditions with some lift off the track but Ryan ten Doeschate's 97 lifted Essex to a comfortable platform at 244 for 8. His innings included six fours and three sixes, the best of which was a delicate sweep that somehow carried over the rope, borne along as if by magic. The elements were hardly magic, however, and persistent rain meant Middlesex's innings was a stop-start affair which was finally ended on 120 for 2 after 25 overs, with Billy Godleman on 43. It was enough for the win which denied Essex home advantage in the quarter-finals.

South West Division
Somerset had to wait anxiously to see what happened in the other group match after their game against Glamorgan at Cardiff was rained off early but they made it through.
