Samit stars as Notts edge out Derbyshire

Samit Patel starred with bat and ball as Notts beat Derbyshire at Trent Bridge

Veteran all-rounder Samit Patel took the starring role as Nottinghamshire Outlaws beat Derbyshire by two runs to go second in the North Group after a Vitality Blast match shortened by rain to 15 overs a side.

The 36-year-old hit three sixes and six fours in an unbeaten 62 – his first half-century in the format for three years in his 110th consecutive appearance – and in taking 2-14 from three overs of his left-arm spin entered the record books as the first English player to complete the double of 250 wickets and 5,000 runs in Twenty20 cricket.

Luis Reece hit 56 from 26 balls and Leus du Plooy an unbeaten 58 including a six off the last ball but Derbyshire fell two runs short of their target of 153.

Ben Duckett supported Patel with 38 off 25 balls as the Outlaws totalled 152 for six, the wickets shared equally between seamers Logan van Beek and George Scrimshaw.

Colin Ingram smashed 75 runs off 48 balls to lead Glamorgan to victory over Middlesex.

The batsman carried his side to a total of 150-9 before Timm van der Gugten starred with the ball, taking three wickets for 16 runs to secure a 21-run victory in Cardiff.

Elsewhere, rain meant that matches between Birmingham Bears and Lancashire, Worcestershire and Northamptonshire, Yorkshire and Durham, Surrey and Hampshire, Sussex and Somerset, and Essex and Gloucestershire were abandoned without a ball being bowled.
