A SUPERB century from England's Tammy Beaumont led The Blaze to a seven-wicket victory with 13.1 overs to spare as Hampshire's unbeaten start to the Metro Bank One-Day Cup women's competition ended at Trent Bridge.

Beaumont finished 112 not out after sharing an unbroken 159-run partnership with Georgia Elwis (58 not out) to complete a third win from four matches for the East Midlands side.

Another of their England stars, leg-spinner Sarah Glenn, took three for 36 as Hampshire were restricted to 189 in their 50 overs, opener Ella McCaughan top-scoring with 57.

Hampshire had two wins and a tie in their opening three fixtures, setting a record for the highest successful run chase in women’s List A cricket in England when they overhauled Lancashire's 292 for six at Southport last week.
