Nottinghamshire won the toss and opt to Bowling

21:15 Local Time, 20:15 GMT, 01:45 IST: Notts move to 12 points. Their 6th win and they continue their winning streak against the Falcons in the Blast since 2015. 143 wasn't a great total. But the Falcons bowled their hearts out. Notts started off well. But they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Hales and Patel tried to get their knocks going but failed to finish off the chase. Scrimshaw picked up three wickets and bowled a spirited spell of pace bowling to ensure the target wasn't easily tracked down. In the end. Shaheen Afridi hit a couple of lusty blows to finish it off for the Notts. They have fortified their position in the points table. Derbyshire have now lost their fifth game from 8 games in a tight North group. That is it for the day, we will come back soon with more cricketing action.

Zaman Khan to Shaheen Afridi, out Caught by Leus du Plooy!! The short ball does it. Banged in, got to him quickly and there was a top-edge on the shot. The man at mid-off took it easily. That skidded on to the batter and Shaheen Afridi was a little late on the shot. A wicket little too late for Derbyshire. Shaheen Afridi c Leus du Plooy b Zaman Khan 14(7) [6s-2]
