The reigning Four Counties Division 1 champions showed no mercy on Eaton Bray, piling on a huge 290-6 in their 40 overs.

Alex Walker (51), Kamran Din (56) and Sajee Chandrasegaram (69) all hit half centuries for North Crawley, while Josh Edwins (2-59) and Junaid Ashiq (2-53) were the pick of the bowlers.

Despite losing Andrew Norris early on, Wes Hosking (82) and Paul Harris (37)made serious inroads and gave Eaton Bray a sniff of a change.

But with the duo removed, the end quickly followed. Richard Bryce was in prime form, taking 6-49 to rattle through the lower order as Bray were all out for 197.

Patrick Bull took 4-34 to ensure the previous pace setters were limited to just 143-9.

In reply, Olney opener Charlie Green scored an unbeaten 68 as they cruised to 146-2 and an eight wicket win.

Milton Keynes (146-9) edged past New Bradwell (145) by just one wicket.

Zaheer Khan scored an unbeaten 100 for Westcroft (194-7) as they brushed aside bottom club Luton Caribbean (136).
