victory over Suffolk on 4 May. That was followed up with two more Championship losses, against Gloucestershire and then Surrey, and the streak of defeats continued as eventual champions Essex beat them by five wickets in the National League. The defending champions of one-day league cricket then got knocked out of the C&G Trophy with a six-wicket defeat at home to Hampshire, and their fifth successive Championship loss also came at the hands of Hampshire, before they rounded off the month as it started by beating Worcestershire Royals in a day/night National League game at Sophia Gardens. They finished May bottom of the First Division of the Championship.
