Nield’s unbeaten century and 66 from Sandeep Dhillon were the highlights as hosts Worfield struggled to contain Wolverhampton’s rampant runs – with the leaders finishing on 300-8.

A half-century from Tarik Shorey was the best Worfield could muster as Aqab Ahmed and Warrick Fynn both took four and three wickets respectively – handing Wolverhampton the win by 201 runs.

A close encounter saw struggling Walsall beat Himley by four wickets. Hosts Himley batted first and impressed through Bilal Hussain (32), Oliver Westbury (90) and Ollie Walker (67).

Walsall’s Jordan Bulpitt stopped Himley at 246-9 as he claimed five wickets.

Meanwhile, Lichfield made short work of Bromsgrove as they won by 10 wickets.

Mid-table Halesowen eased to a dominant away victory over Knowle & Dorridge in Premier Division One.

With a fairly modest target to beat, Halesowen made a slow start as the first four batters were dismissed – three by Ethan Brookes – with just 30 runs on the board.
