Twenty20 Round-Up / Performance of the Day

England's backwards summer continues to blight the Twenty20 tournament with June seemingly determined to give us the April we should have had two months ago. Only one match squeezed in the full complement of overs, with Glamorgan unable to match Warwickshire's 173 in which Tim Ambrose made 39 not out from 19 balls - are there really six better limited overs English batsmen than him? Surrey cruised to a ten overs per side win over a severely weakened Hampshire between the showers at the Oval. Sussex and Middlesex didn't even get on to the outfield at Hove, so share the points.

Best value (as so often this year) was at Taunton where Duckworth and Lewis played a blinder in somehow deciding that Northants' 92-1 off 7 overs was 24 runs better than Somerset's imposing 200-7 from the full 20. Plenty of big hits from the likes of Bollywood's Usman Afzaal and usual suspects, Lance Klusener and Cameron White, but the top score came from Tresco (right), who blasted 7 sixes and 5 fours in his 76 from just 35 balls. After yet more gorging on county attacks, can we say that Tresco's self-imposed exile from the international game just won't do?
