    Jack Haynes made 116 not out in the quarter final

    Outlaws batter Jack Haynes admitted he wondered whether he had “forgotten how to bat” after returning from a quad injury that had kept him on the sidelines since July 18.

    The answer was an emphatic no after the stylish Haynes helped Notts recover from 1-3 on his way to an unbeaten 116 (in 99 balls) alongside Kyle Verreynne who made 105 as Notts eventually eased past Yorkshire at York on Friday.

    “No matter how long it's been, you always think, ‘Have I forgotten how to bat or not?’ So, it was nice to hit a couple out of the middle. Kyle out there with his class made it a lot easier for me.”

    If Notts can get past the Foxes today they will have a home final with the last match of the Metro Bank One Day Cup on 20 September at Trent Bridge.

    “It would obviously be nice to have a carrot of a home final, but we’ve got a big game ahead of us (first).”

  2. Can Stokes turn back the clock for Durham?

    Hands up – who is the only member of Durham’s victorious One-Day Cup side from 2014 still in with a chance of repeating that success 12 years on?

    Easy, of course. It’s none other than recent England Test captain Ben Stokes, whose unbeaten 38 nudged Durham over the line in a low-scoring Lord’s showpiece against Warwickshire that day – and will now look to play a key role in taking his county back to another final.

    Stokes is just one of several experienced faces in the Durham line-up, along with Alex Lees, David Bedingham and two other former winners of the tournament – Ollie Robinson, who triumphed as a Kent player in 2022 and Colin Ackermann, part of the Leicestershire side that claimed the trophy a year later.

    Durham only just squeezed into the knockout stage this time, losing two of their final three Group B games – including a three-wicket loss to Middlesex at Chester-le-Street.

    But the men from the north-east then underlined their credentials in Friday’s play-off at Old Trafford, thrashing Lancashire by 167 runs with almost 14 overs to spare.

  3. Semi-final Sunday

    Good morning!

    The cricket calendar is full to the brim at present, we have white ball finals on the agenda today, Test match cricket to enjoy (congrats Bangladesh) a new England red-ball series set to begin against Pakistan at Headingley on Wednesday and the return of the County Championship on Thursday.

    But before all that we have two tasty semi-finals in the One-Day Cup, with a place in the final at Trent Bridge on 20 September at stake.

    Middlesex welcome Durham to Radlett while Leicestershire Foxes host neighbours Notts Outlaws at Grace Road.

    We have 100 overs on the slate and plenty to get through so let's get cracking...
