Nottinghamshire secured a nervy one-wicket win off the penultimate ball against Leicestershire.
Rishi Patel (51) and Sol Budinger (56) helped the Foxes to 188 for two in their 20 overs.
Nottinghamshire were steady in their reply with Joe Clarke hitting 50 before a flurry of wickets put them in danger until number 10 Dillon Pennington and number 11 Farham Ahmed saw them over the line with the 119th delivery.

US Olympic & Paralympic Committee bars transgender women from competing in women's sports
July 22 (Reuters) - The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) has updated its policy to align with an executive order signed earlier this year by U.S. President Donald Trump barring transgender women from competing in women's sports. "The USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities, e.g., IOC, IPC, NGBs, to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201 and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act," the USOPC said in an update to its Athlete Safety Policy. The USOPC did not respond to a request for comment on the change. USOPC President Gene Sykes and CEO Sarah Hirshland referenced Trump's executive order in a memo to the Team USA community sent out this week, ABC News reported, which said, "As a federally chartered organization, we have an obligation to comply with federal expectations." Trump signed the "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" order in February in a bid to exclude transgender girls and women from female sports, a directive that supporters said will restore fairness but critics argue it infringes on the rights of a tiny minority of athletes. The order directs the Department of Justice to make sure all government agencies enforce a ban on transgender girls and women from participating in female school sports under Trump's interpretation of Title IX, a law against sex discrimination in education. Trump's order goes beyond high school and college sports, calling for the U.S. government to deny visas for transgender females seeking to compete in the United States. Trump also said he would not allow transgender athletes to compete in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. The executive order instructed the State Department to pressure the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to change its policy, which allows trans athletes to compete under general guidance preventing any athlete from gaining an unfair advantage. The order is expected to affect only a small number of athletes. The president of the National Collegiate Athletics Association told a Senate panel in December he was aware of fewer than 10 transgender athletes among the 530,000 competing at 1,100 member schools.

US Olympic and Paralympic officials bar transgender women from competing in Olympic women's sports
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has effectively barred transgender women from competing in women's sports, telling the federations overseeing swimming, athletics and other sports it has an 'obligation to comply' with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The change, announced Monday with a quiet change on the USOPC's website and confirmed in a letter sent to national governing bodies, follows a similar step taken by the NCAA earlier this year. The USOPC change is noted obliquely as a detail under 'USOPC Athlete Safety Policy' and reference's Trump's executive order, 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports,' signed in February. That order, among other things, threatens to 'rescind all funds' from organizations that allow transgender athlete participation in women's sports. The national governing bodies will likely follow the USOPC's directive.

Durham toil as 22 wickets fall on first day at Taunton
Durham's hopes were further hit as opener Alex Lees and nightwatchman Callum Parkinson were dismissed when they returned to the crease. That's it for the day. There will be no more play at Scarborough today. Good day for the White Rose, who finish on 282-4.#YORvSUR — Yorkshire CCC (@YorkshireCCC) July 22, 2025 Yorkshire shrugged off the absence of new overseas signing Imam-ul-Haq to reach 282 for four on the first day of their clash with leaders Surrey in Scarborough. The Pakistan opener, nephew of the great Inzamam, warmed up with his new team-mates but was forced to remain on the sidelines due to visa issues and his replacement Will Luxton responded with a first-class best 71 off 118 balls. Luxton's knock was surpassed by James Wharton's 78, with Finlay Bean contributing 57. Captain Jonny Bairstow – whose own participation was in doubt due to the impending arrival of his child – stood on 19 when play was curtailed due to bad light. Dan Worrall took three for 49. Essex's hopes of avoiding relegation were boosted by a sturdy opening day against third-placed Sussex at Hove. End of the first day at Hove. Looking to gain a healthy lead tomorrow on Day 2 💪 🦅 #FlyLikeAnEagle — Essex Cricket (@EssexCricket) July 22, 2025 Jamie Porter took four for 30 as Sussex were bowled out for 204 and the visitors responded by reaching 152 for four at the close to leave them in a promising position. Nottinghamshire reached 241 for five after being put in to bat by hosts Hampshire at Southampton. Freddie McCann fired a fine 79 and Jack Haynes was unbeaten on 70 for the visitors, while Kyle Abbott added two more wickets to his season's tally on a day that saw three hours lost to rain. Ethan Brookes' 80 helped Warwickshire muscle their way to a hard-earned 262 for eight against Warwickshire at Edgbaston. Division Two leaders Leicestershire served up a statement of intent with a commanding opening day's play against nearest challengers Derbyshire at Derby. Openers Rishi Patel and Sol Budinger fell with no score on the board but Lewis Hill's unbeaten 132, backed up by 115 from Rehan Ahmed and 99 not out by Peter Handscomb, helped their side reach an imposing 357 for three at stumps. 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 🏏 Leicestershire displayed the quality of promotion contenders, as Rehan Ahmed and Lewis Hill hundreds spearheaded an incredible fightback on the opening day against rivals Derbyshire. 🥊#Foxes🦊 — Leicestershire CCC 🦊 (@leicsccc) July 22, 2025 Middlesex were also well on their way to a big target as an unbeaten 199 stand from Max Holden – who stands on 137 not out – and Kane Williamson (88no) helped them reach 319 for the loss of just one wicket at Northwood. Kent collapsed from 148 for three to 155 all out as Glamorgan took command on day one at Sophia Gardens, although the Welsh side were far from faultless in a response that reached 125 for four at close. Matty Hurst was 105 not out as Lancashire reached 290 for six on a competitive first day against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham. Zaman Akhter's four for 64 helped the hosts remain very much in with a shout.
