Devon's cricketers are through to the semi-finals of the Minor Counties Trophy after beating holders Berkshire by 22 runs at Sidmouth.

Batting first, Devon recovered from an awful start to record a total of 273-8.

Opener Liam Lewis went for a duck off the second ball before his replacement Alex Barrow was sent back to the pavilion with the very next ball as bowler Tom Nugent almost got a first-over hat-trick.

But a fourth-wicket stand of 98 by Ben Green (66) and Matt Thompson (53) steadied the ship before Zak Bess top-scored with 73 not out as Nugent ended with figures of 5-52.

Berkshire started well in reply as Andy Rishton scored 50 as the visitors raced to 106-2 off 17 overs.

But they lost the next four wickets for 43 runs and their final four wickets for 37 as Jack Popham and Toby Codd each took three wickets as Devon bowled out their opponents for 251.

Devon, who will face Suffolk at Sidmouth in the semi-final on 1 July, could meet either Cheshire or Shropshire in the final.
