we batted first and posted 349. Good effort, despite a lull in the RR after the openers fell

350 will give Lancs something to think about, at least

[Durhamfootman]

Yorks, despite a century 3rd wicket stand, appear to have struggled to really get going.

273 feels short, but then we only scored 165 on this ground, so it may be plenty and we may not have anything like enough

we'll find out in about 4 hours

Good score. Bowlers have struggled in the PP and there's a concern about the death bowling if it gets that far.
Fair amount of pressure ( famous last words!) chasing 350 in a knock out game.

Notts 1-2 in reply to Yorks. I guess that answers that question

Stokes takes our first wicket

[captaincolly]

Notts recovering- 8-3 now!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Lancs are stuffed.

[Durhamfootman]

Harris... hit wicket

doughnut!

96-4

SF here we come

Middlesex. At Radlett because Lords is hosting The Hundred final.

Gay out for a pair in the warmup match against Pakistan!

[captaincolly]

That was surprisingly straightforward. According to Martin Emmerson it's our biggest one day win in terms of runs.

[Durhamfootman]

Yep, it was very well done

I was worried at the 20 over mark that we had lost our momentum, but we clearly got that back as the innings progressed. When I saw the 45 over score I assumed that Stokes had got going, but not him today... Bedders and Robbo did the damage

Ghafari has grown into this competition. Big Luke's economy has been getting a lot better as the tournament has progressed

[Durhamfootman]

Coad bringing some control back for Yorks, after Notts looked to be dragging themselves back into the game. 3 wickets for 4 runs sees Notts reduced to 213-7 and in all probability their race is run

[Durhamfootman]

Nope….. I was wrong. Notts will be indebted to Pennington’s late efforts, giving time and space to Haynes to get them home, without using up all the overs blocking
