Here’s a look at how the points table across each group stacks up after the 12th round of Vitality Blast came to an end, on 9 May.
North Group
Nottinghamshire have maintained their lead at the top of the table with a ten-wicket victory over Yorkshire. They have won nine matches and lost only one so far. Irrespective of the result in the last round, Notts will finish as a table-topper.
Yorkshire are at second place, with 15 points from 12 games. Worcestershire too emerged victorious against Warwickshire to remain in the hunt for the quarter-final. There is stiff competition between Lancashire, Durham and Warwickshire for the last spot.

| Yorkshire | 12 | 7 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 15 | 0.381 |
| Worcestershire | 12 | 6 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 14 | -0.569 |
| Lancashire | 12 | 5 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 12 | 0.162 |

| Warwickshire | 12 | 5 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 11 | -0.143 |
| Derbyshire | 12 | 4 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 9 | -0.326 |
| Northamptonshire | 12 | 4 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 9 | -0.887 |
| Leicestershire | 12 | 4 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 8 | -0.147 |
South Group
Kent registered their eighth win, against Sussex, to occupy top spot in the South Group. They have won eight matches and lost three. Sussex are two points behind them. Gloucestershire’s 10-run victory over bottom-placed Middlesex has kept them at third place, followed by Kent and Somerset.
Kent and Somerset have 14 points each. Surrey are fifth, but they can still qualify if they manage to beat Gloucestershire in the last round of the league stage. Essex, Glamorgan, Hampshire and Middlesex are already out of contention.
| Teams | M | W | L | T | NR | Pts | NRR |
| Kent | 12 | 8 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 17 | 0.523 |
| Sussex | 12 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 5 | 15 | -0.547 |
| Gloucestershire | 12 | 6 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 14 | 0.406 |
| Somerset | 12 | 6 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 14 | -0.12 |
