The visitors amassed 301-7 thanks to 93 from Charlie Hemphrey and 50s from James Hockley and James Thompson before Bain steered the hosts towards their target with the help of Adam Ball (57) and Sandeep Bains (61).

In the end Min Patel was run-out attempting a tying run from the final ball of the game as the hosts finished on 300-7.

Ben Fulton's unbeaten 80 was in vain for Bickley Park as they went down by 36 runs at home to Bromley to remain winless.

James Hands made light work of the Sevenoaks Vine tail to help early-leaders Blackheath record a 107-run win at The Vine.

Paul Valkovics top-scored with 41 not out at Heath made 232-9, but the hosts were always struggling in reply and Hands took 3-9 late-on to dismiss their hosts for 125.
