Perfect Notts having a Ball

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE have the last remaining perfect record in the Royal London One-Day Cup after a four-wicket win over YORKSHIRE at a sold-out Trent Bridge.

The Outlaws bowlers took centre stage in front of almost 15,000 spectators to bowl out the Vikings for 213. England’s Jake Ball was the pick with three for 32, before the home side’s batsmen made light work of a modest total.

Saqib Mahmood became the first LANCASHIRE bowler to claim five wickets in back-to-back List A matches in a nine-wicket win against

LEICESTERSHIRE at Emirates Old Trafford. Champions HAMPSHIRE suffered a crushing first defeat as Ravi Bopara starred with bat and ball for ESSEX. The all- rounder struck a fluent 89 in Essex’s 339 for six, then weighed in with three wickets as Hampshire were 230 all out.

England hopeful James Vince struck 47 for the beaten visitors.
