Lancashire's innings started promisingly with 38 runs from 19 balls. However, their momentum quickly faded as Notts' spinners, including Farhan and Patterson-White, struck early. The batting side tumbled to 53 for 5 in eight overs. A 62-run partnership between Matty Hurst (36) and Chris Green (29) provided some resistance but wasn't enough.
Notts' chase got off to a shaky start. They were reeling at 14 for 4 after Tom Hartley's double strike in the second over.

Then came Tom Moores' game-changing innings. He smashed 75 off 42 balls, forming a crucial 81-run partnership with Lyndon James (20). Despite Moores' run-out near the end, Notts reached their target of 127 with plenty of balls to spare.
The victory was bittersweet for Nottinghamshire. Their poor net run rate meant they missed the quarter-finals for the third time in four seasons. Meanwhile, Lancashire had already secured their quarter-final spot, maintaining their unique record of reaching the T20 knockout stages for eight consecutive seasons.

In recent weeks, the relationship between two players has been in the news. This happened particularly after a number of stories indicated that the four-time NBA champion wasn't overly happy about the team focusing on the new player from a business and game perspective.

In a stunning trade that sent 2020 NBA champion Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for the Slovenian guard, the Los Angeles Lakers' front staff matched them together prior to the 2025 trade deadline. The Slovenian superstar has made his position clear behind closed doors. This happened despite mounting tensions about LeBron James' schedule and the team's decision to center itself around Luka Doncic. Additionally, rumors started circulating after Rich Paul's cryptic remarks went viral as the NBA giant decided to opt into the last year of his contract. Moreover, an ESPN report claiming that the NBA giant felt "disrespected" by the L.A. Lakers ' choice to switch to Luka Doncic further ignited a fire. However, neither the team's front office nor LeBron James' camp have formally pursued a trade or buyout. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic is making every effort to silence the commotion.

'Shubman Gill made batting look easy, but …': Ryan ten Doeschate rues captain's run-out, defends Jasprit Bumrah omission
Ryan ten Doeschate (Pic credit: Sahil Malhotra/ in London: India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate described the first day of the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval as 'fair' for the visitors but conceded that the run-out of captain Shubman Gill and the absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah had a major bearing on proceedings. Scorecard: India vs England 5th Test India ended Day 1 at 204/6 after being asked to bat under overcast skies. Recalled pacers Gus Atkinson (2/31) and Josh Tongue (2/47) did the bulk of the damage, while Atkinson also effected a direct-hit run-out to dismiss Gill for 21 — just as the India skipper was starting to look ominous.

IND vs ENG 5th Test: 'Doesn't look too great' – Gus Atkinson fears Chris Woakes could miss rest of final Test
Chris Woakes of England (Photo by) in London: Gus Atkinson made an immediate impact on his return to the England XI but admitted the team was concerned about Chris Woakes ' injury after a stop-start first day at The Oval. 'I don't know too much, but it doesn't look too great,' Atkinson said at the press conference. 'It's the last game of the series, so it's a big shame.' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Woakes left the field late in the day with a shoulder injury sustained while fielding. England were already a bowler short after a wayward performance from Jamie Overton and Josh Tongue. Atkinson, though, had a good outing with two wickets and a direct-hit run-out of Shubman Gill . 'If we can keep them to 230-240, we're still in a good position,' he said. India ended the day on 204 for 6, with Karun Nair producing a gutsy unbeaten 52 in testing conditions. It was Nair's first Test fifty in 3,148 days, the last being his triple century in 2016. He walked in with India wobbling and put together a crucial 51-run stand with Washington Sundar (19*). Nair's knock, which included seven boundaries, was a rare moment of calm on a day when the ball constantly beat the bat. He brought up his half-century with a couple off Jacob Bethell. With just 64 overs possible due to rain, India will be the happier side after fighting back from 153 for 6. England, meanwhile, will hope Woakes can recover in time to bowl again.
