v Lancashire LV Championship at Aigburth, Liverpool

HIGH DRAMA AT AIGBURTH AS NOTTINGHAMSHIRE'S HEROES CLAIM A NARROW WIN

Notts scraped home by just one wicket after a magnificent three days of cricket at Aigburth to go 11 points clear at the top of the championship.

On a sporty wicket of uneven bounce, no batsmen was truly in and it was apparent that a last innings target exceeding 150 would prove problematical.

The heroes of the day were Chris Read, Luke Fletcher and Harry Gurney, but a another all team effort over the three days.

MCC v ROTW at Lord's

CLASH OF THE OLD DIVAS
In the early overs of #teamshane 's innings, after winning toss, procedings were dominated by boundaries off half-paced old quicks until form spinner Saeed Ajmal was employed by Sachin Tendulkar.

11.4 overs Chris Read stumps KP off Ajmal  68/4, Chris' second stumping off the bowler - sign this Saeed Ajmal Mick quick - ooh he's taken.

RoW were given a chance then, which smacked of Beer Match, Saeed Ajmal  4/9, was taken off with #teamshane on the rocks.

Yuvraj Singh came in at 68/5, then scored a fifty with Ajmal held back 142/5 at half way.

Ajmal ultimately returned when the batsmen were well established and ended with 4/45 although there were some missed chances off his bamboozling bowling.

Rest of the World achieved 293/7 Yuvraj Singh 132, Paul Collingwood 40 and Peter Siddle 33*.

Shane Warne has broken his hand and was unable to field/bowl/captain but had managed to tweet.

MCC started well, as did RotW, 72/0 from 11 overs

Apart from when Lara and Dravid fell in 2 balls, Aaron Finch 181* led MCC to a convincing 7 wicket win
