The visitors' total of 276 for eight was built by a strong start and finish. Emma Lamb (88 from 84 balls) and Katie Mack (57, 86) laid a solid platform and, after a wobble induced by spinner Georgia Davis (three for 45), Sophie Ecclestone (50, 49) led a second wave which took the total from solid to imposing.

Warwickshire then succumbed for 175 all out (Katie George 35, 38), as Fi Morris took out numbers two, three and four in 12 balls on her way to five for 48 to sentence the home side to a third successive defeat.
