Warwickshire Women maintained their hopes of qualifying from the Metro Bank One Day Cup group stage with a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over Essex at Edgbaston.

Katie George (72, 99 balls) and Abigail Freeborn (64, 54 balls) hit unbeaten half-centuries when contributing to a 122-run partnership as the Bears comfortably chased down 203 having bowled Essex out cheaply, thanks largely to spinners Phoebe Brett (4/52) and Hannah Baker (3/26).

Having elected to bat, Essex found themselves one down in the very first over when captain Grace Scrivens played at a fuller delivery from Alexa Stonehouse and edged behind without scoring.
