Outlaws dominate Dynamos
Notts reaped a comfortable revenge on Durham for their CB40 reversal earlier this season at CLS.
As at Grace Road, it was the bowlers that set-up the win keeping a strong Durham side down to a well below par score after their 20 overs. Lead again by Michael Lumb, Notts Outlaws notched-up another comfortable chase, having 22 balls to spare.
Durham Dynamos 114/5
Johann Myburgh 45
Gordon Muchall 23 not out
Scott Borthwick 17 not out
Harry Gurney 2/28
Outlaws 117/3 (16.2 ov)

Adam Voges 21 not out
Notts won by 7 wickets.
In the other Northern Group, Foxes crashed again this time to Yorkshire at Headingley; Leicestershire all out 148, losing by 22 runs
Another below par score was recorded by Surrey at Beckenham, 116/7 Gary Wilson 53*, Kent won by 8 wickets with 22 balls to spare; Rob Key 51*
At New Road, Pears roller-coasted Gloucestershire Gladiators, blasting them off the park with a powerful batting display.
Worcestershire 213/2
Moeen Ali 82
Phil Hughes 78*
Gloucestershire 166
Hamish Marshall 43
Jack Shantry 4/33
Gareth Andrew 3/20

Durham Bound
3 ball duck |
In the ODI, England posted a score of 288/6, probably a below par score, Ian Bell 126, with his fractured jaw.
In reply, WI are comfortably on target to go one up in the series, even without Chris Gayle, 117/3 in 19 overs, although the dismissal of Dwayne Smith for 56 might prove to be game changing.. England will need to bowl the tourists out to win from this position in all probability.
Latest score...........................
Two wickets put England ahead on the DL par and when it started raining WI were 127/5 from 23 overs with the DL par at 171.
On resumption, with a DL twiddle, Windies were bowled out for 172, England winning by 114 runs, the remaining showing little of the expected fire-power.
The two ball system appears to play to England's strengths and it was one of these, Tim Bresnan, that did the damage, 4/34.

Derby Day 1 Rain
Traditionally the biggest money-spinners for the domestic T20 competition are the London derby games. Tonight the first of these is at Lord's.
Surrey batting first were 36/4 at one of the multitude of rain interruptions; but this was their nadir as Matthew Spriegel and Gary Wilson both notched-up unbeaten fifties., 149/4. Middlesex were 99/8 when the rain descended for the last time, Gareth Batty 4/13, Surrey winning by 28 runs on DL.
The West Country derby was abandoned earlier due to heavy rain at Bristol.
There were additional rain offs at Hove and Northampton (9.3 overs were played before the rain started) but play was possible, almost in full, at the Sheep-dip. Lightning posted a venue par-score of 168/6 which perhaps should have been more but they were penned-in by Mark Turner and Chesney Hughes. The Sheep innings was suspended at 118/5 in the twelfth over, Derbyshire well ahead of the DL, as the rain arrived in Derby too.
Notts launched a new micro site for the T20 competition today - http://twenty20.trentbridge.co.uk/
Also today the club announced the team for tomorrow's "early" clash with the Sheep.
As before (the Foxes game) but Graeme White replacing the England ODI bound Samit Patel - the overseas player that bowls spin would have been handy tomorrow but we'll have to settle with weakening the batting.
Durham beat Yorkshire at Leeds by 2 runs.
Durham 142/6
Ben Stokes 36
Yorkshire 140/8
Rich Pryah 34

FoXes put the X in eXtras
X-rated stuff from the Foxes for their supporters.
Cobb and Sarwan were first to "the plate" - Gurney pitched over 1 against his former employers.
After 12 overs Outlaws will be satisfied with the scoreboard.
Foxes 67/6 3 wickets for Dad05, Mullaney.
After 17.3 overs Outlaws will be very satisfied with the scoreboard.
Foxes all out 96 Mullaney 4/19, 2 wickets each for Pattinson, Patel and Voges.
Extras joint top score of 13; Pitiful is one of the eye-witness comments from Twitterland.
Foxes' lowest T20 score ever(?)
Notts made unnecessary hard work of the chase, probably looking for a good net-run rate as a result.
After 12 overs Outlaws were 82/4 but Michael Lumb was still there holding the innings together.
Outlaws 98/4 (13 overs)
Michael Lumb 25 not out
Adam Voges 21
Samit Patel 17
James Taylor 16 not out (6 balls)
Matthew Hoggard 2/25
Outlaws won by 6 wickets with 42 balls to spare
Whatever happened to
That second Overseas player; the big-hitting, top order batsman that bowls miserly spin or a top drawer strike bowler with lots of pace that we were promised by the DoC in the spring?
As the T20s kick off this evening with the clash at Grace Road; we are reminded that for all or some of this year's money-spinner of a competition the Outlaws will be without the services of: Swann, Broad, Patel and Hales due to England commitments.
As it stands DoC has announced his XI for tonight's game: Alex Hales, Michael Lumb, Riki Wessels, Samit Patel, James Taylor, Adam Voges, Chris Read, Steven Mullaney, Darren Pattinson, Harry Gurney, Andy Carter

Lost and Found
Welbeck won the above game!
Fletcher was also due to play in a washed-out T20 game on Friday.
In a previous T20 at Darlington's Fleetham Ground, against Durham, unbeaten 50s from Elstone and Mullaney gave Notts 2nd XI an 8 wicket win. So far for the Seconds only Mullaney, Elstone and Brett Hutton have shown that they could contend for a senior selection, starting this week.
