The period of the '''2005 English cricket season from 15 to 30 June''' started with another surprise - Australia were beaten in their final NatWest Series warm-up match by Somerset, or more specifically Graeme Smith and [[Sanath Jayasuriya]], who put on 197 for Somerset's first wicket.

'''''Lancashire (18pts) beat Derbyshire (3pts) by one wicket'''''

In a low-scoring match which came down to the last wicket at [[The County Ground, Derby]], [[Dominic Cork]] had the pleasure of beating his old county, as Derbyshire failed to break their duck of wins that had been going since July [[2004 English cricket season|2004]]. Winning the toss and batting, [[Derbyshire County Cricket Club|Derbyshire]] saw Australian [[Michael di Venuto]] and [[Ben France]] joined up for an opening stand of 56 - the second highest partnership of the match. Then, [[Greg Chapple]] dug out both openers, as Derbyshire lost the next three wickets for 15. Chapple had [[bowling analysis|bowling figures]] of 19-10-29-3, as his spell had the lowest [[economy rate]] in the match. However, it was Cork who got the most wickets, after taking the last three of the innings to finish with four for 40 and send Derbyshire off for 191. [[Lancashire County Cricket Club|Lancashire]] lost two   wickets for 12 runs in reply, and despite 37 from [[Brad Hodge]] they were at 128 for 6, but Cork's 64 from number eight in the batting order - the highest innings of the match - along with 24 from [[Muttiah Muralitharan]] - took Lancashire to a 50-run lead. Muralitharan then bowled 27 consecutive second-innings overs, taking six for 50 as Derbyshire made 185, setting a target of 136 to win. [[Iain Sutcliffe]] and [[Mal Loye]] added 53 for Lancashire's second wicket, but they then lost seven men f(contracted; show full)

[[David Sales]] top-scored for the hosts with 78 [[not out]], while Australian [[Damien Wright]] paired up with him for 84 for the sixth wicket, scoring an unbeaten 38 of his own. Gloucestershire were 
  in trouble from the start, as opening batsman [[Craig Spearman]] was run out for a duck, and when Wright ripped out two more wickets, the Gladiators were 10 for three. Four wickets from [[Ben Phillips]] resulted in a serious collapse, as Gloucestershire were all out for 143.

   reduced [[Surrey County Cricket Club|Surrey Lions]] to pieces at [[The Oval|the Oval]]. Only [[Rikki Clarke]] passed 12 runs for Surrey, and he did so in style, making 52 with six fours and a six, while Logan and Bruce shared seven wickets btetween them. Hampshire had reason to be happy with bowling Surrey out for 118, although they did concede 17 [[wide (cricket)|wide]]s, as extras were the second highest scorer for Surrey. Hampshire then attempted to collapse of their own, crashing to 6 for 2 and 66 for (contracted; show full) NatWest Series. [[Habibul Bashar]] won the toss and batted first, and it looked to pay off as [[Shahriar Nafees]], [[Javed Omar]] and [[Tushar Imran]] milked runs off the English opening bowlers. Especially [[Simon Jones (cricketer)|Simon Jones]] - returning from injury - was erratic, bowling eight wides in the match, while [[Darren Gough]] was just smashed around the park. However, Jones got the early wicket when Nafees cut it to [[Marcus Trescothick]] at slip - before Bangladesh rebuilt again. After 16 
  overs, they were 82 for 1, and looked to build a sizable target. 

However, their opener Javed - whose ODI strike rate was just above 50 at the time - slowed things down, and a double blow from [[Andrew Flintoff]] - first getting Tushar with an inside edge to have him bowled, and then [[Mohammad Ashraful]] for a golden duck - [[Bodyline]]-style. That set the Bangladeshis back, and patient bowling from [[Ashley Giles]] and [[Paul Collingwood]] resulted in the run-out of captain Habibul for 10. With [[Aftab A(contracted; show full)

Zimbabwean [[Greg Lamb]], playing for the [[Hampshire Hawks]] as a home qualified player due to owning an English passport, took four wickets, including three former Test players, for 28 - which helped peg [[Kent Spitfires]] back to 154 for 9. Hampshire's reply was very well timed, and even a good bowling spell from Kent's [[James Tredwell]] - who only conceded sixteen runs off the bat in four overs -
   could not stop the Hawks. [[Lawrence Prittipaul]] made 35 before being out on the penultimate ball with the scores tied, but off-spinner and stand-in captain [[Shaun Udal]], however, made a single on the last ball, as Hampshire reached 155 for 5 in their 20 overs - [[Nic Pothas]] top-scoring with 58.

A high-scoring game at [[Headingley Stadium|Headingley]] saw both sides score at run-rates in excess of 9. [[Derbyshire Phantoms]] batted first, with [[Jonathan Moss]] notching up 83 off just 44 balls - that's nearly two runs from every ball - and 
  England [[Test cricket|Test]] bowler [[Matthew Hoggard]] was hit for 45 runs in three overs. [[Tim Bresnan]], however, continued to like the short format, as he took three for 26 in four overs. In reply, [[Yorkshire Phoenix]] reaped the benefits of a massive partnership between Australians [[Ian Harvey]] (who made 109, the first Twenty20 century of the season) and [[Phil Jaques]] who shared a 124-run stand for the second wicket.

Hodge made 44 off 34 balls, and [[Dominic Cork]] - promoted to five - made 28, the only ones to pass 20. Hodge, who came on as fourth change bowler, fuelled the Derbyshire implosion with wickets, as they couldn't hit the ball off the square and were all out for 98 - Hodge ending with figures of 
  four for 17.

Interestingly, a Bangladeshi - Shahriar Nafees - got the Man of the Match award, possibly for his effort to keep the match exciting after Bangladesh had crumbled to 75 for 5.
