Derbyshire 357/8 (50 ov)
Warwickshire 300 (45.3/50 ov)
Derbyshire won by 57 runs
Derbyshire made their highest-ever score in 50-over cricket as they began this season's One-Day Cup campaign with a 57-run win over Warwickshire.
Led by opener Billy Godleman's career-best 137, and fifties from Ben Slater (69) and Wayne Madsen (58), the visitors piled up 357-8 at Edgbaston.
Jonathan Trott was the surprising standout bowler with 4-65.
Sam Hain made a fine 108 in the chase, and Keith Barker blasted 48 not out, but Warwickshire were all out for 300.
The Bears looked well set at 173-3 in the 27th over, with Hain and Adam Hose scoring at a good rate.
However, once Hose sent a return catch to Ravi Rampaul for 33, wickets fell regularly and Barker's 34-ball innings could not save his side.
Derbyshire have twice surpassed 357 in List A cricket, but their 365-3 against Cornwall in 1986 came off 60 overs, and the 366-4 they scored against Combined Universities five years later was a 55-over match.
Leicestershire 265/7 (50 ov)
Northamptonshire 193 (38.2/50 ov)
Leicestershire won by 72 runs
Paul Horton's century helped Leicestershire beat Northamptonshire in their first game of the One-Day Cup.
Horton's 103 from 126 balls saw Leicestershire to 182-3, but no other batsman was able to reach fifty as the Foxes made 265-7 from their 50 overs.
Opener Josh Cobb hit 56 for Northants, but his dismissal left his side 95-5.
Brett Hutton (34 not out) and Graeme White (38) put on 64 for the ninth wicket, before the hosts were bowled out for 193, 73 runs short.
White scored his 38 from only 42 balls with four fours and one six, but Northants' hopes were ended when he was caught behind off Ben Raine (3-31), with Ben Sanderson the last man out two overs later.
Gavin Griffiths was the pick of the Northants bowlers, taking 4-30 from his seven overs.
Nottinghamshire 318 (49.5/50 ov)
Lancashire 309/9 (50 ov)
Nottinghamshire won by 9 runs
Defending champions Notts Outlaws started their 2018 One-Day Cup campaign with a win, despite a brilliant century from Lancashire's Keaton Jennings.
Notts were bowled out for 318 as Chris Nash (52), Ross Taylor (58) and captain Steven Mullaney (70) all hit fifties.
Leg-spinner Matt Parkinson took a career-best 5-68 for Lancashire.
Opener Jennings kept the chase on course, but pulled Harry Gurney to mid-wicket for 136 in the 47th over and Lancashire finished on 309-9.
The hosts needed 16 off the final over at Old Trafford with last-wicket pair Tom Bailey and Parkinson at the crease, but fell nine runs short.
England batsman Jennings was not named in the squad for the first Test against Pakistan, but has now scored three consecutive centuries for Lancashire.
The 25-year-old made 109 against Somerset and 126 at Nottinghamshire in the County Championship and followed it up with another superb innings in the 50-over format.
Notts lost wickets regularly in their innings, but Mullaney's attacking 54-ball knock in the latter stages pushed them to a score which proved just enough.
Kent 188 (43.3/50 ov)
Sussex 189/3 (39.5/50 ov)
Sussex won by 7 wickets (with 61 balls remaining)
Sussex comfortably chased down Kent's below-par target in their opening game of the One-Day Cup.
Kent struggled with variable bounce as they were bowled out for 188 in 43.3 overs, with opener Daniel Bell-Drummond the last man out for 90 from 115 balls.
Sussex looked in trouble early in their chase as Luke Wright fell for just four and Harry Finch was dismissed for nine.
But Luke Wells (62) and Ben Brown (73 not out) helped the hosts to a seven-wicket win with 10.1 overs to spare.
Middlesex 250 (48.3/50 ov)
Essex 253/4 (42.4/50 ov)
Essex won by 6 wickets (with 44 balls remaining)
Tom Westley made a career-best 50-over score of 134 as Essex beat Middlesex by six wickets in the One-Day Cup.
England international Westley, 29, survived being dropped three times on his way to a 94-ball century.
Varun Chopra (59) put on 153 for the second wicket with Westley as Essex won with 44 balls to spare, making 253-4.
Nick Gubbins had earlier made 50 from 52 balls but Middlesex slumped to 250 all out from 79-0, Ravi Bopara and Neil Wagner both taking three wickets.
Westley's fifth List A career century will have come as welcome relief following a tough start to his County Championship campaign this season with three ducks from seven innings.
England one-day captain Eoin Morgan was one of several Middlesex batsman who failed to kick on from a promising start when he fell for 45 off 55 balls.
Their stand-in captain Steven Finn also finished wicketless from his seven overs with the ball.
