Grace Scrivens and Cordelia Griffith continued Essex’s resurgence with a county record Metro Bank One-Day Cup stand of 128 from 153 balls to overcome holders Lancashire and secure a third straight win in the competition.
Skipper Scrivens (74 from 83) and Griffith (61 from 90) bettered their opening partnership of 95 against Yorkshire last time out with another vital contribution to lay the foundations for a resounding victory at Chelmsford.
Lancashire needed a century partnership of their own to recover from a sluggish start, with opener Eve Jones (98 from 135) and skipper Ellie Threlkeld (51 from 69) adding 127 for the third wicket.
That enabled them to post 251 for seven, with Sophie Munro and Scrivens taking two wickets apiece, but it was not enough and the in-form Jodi Grewcock hit 58 from 57 as Essex cruised home with three overs to spare.
