A DAY after collecting enough bonus points to put themselves out of reach of Surrey, newly-crowned county champions Nottinghamshire finished their season in style by completing a 10-wicket victory over Warwickshire with a day to spare.

With a first-innings lead of 116 giving their potent seam attack ample licence to attack in conditions still making batting difficult, Nottinghamshire dismissed Warwickshire for 133 in 54 overs.

Rothesay County Championship Division One, Trent Bridge (day three)

Nottinghamshire (21 pts) beat Warwickshire (4 pts) by 10 wickets)

Brett Hutton finished with 3-30 and Mohammad Abbas, in what may or may not be his last appearance for the county, took 3-18 to total 32 from nine matches, with Dillon Pennington lifting his tally to 28 with 3-52.

It left Nottinghamshire needing just 18 runs to complete the victory, which they achieved in just 22 deliveries, time enough for Ben Slater to score the 15 runs he needed to total 1,000 for the season before Haseeb Hameed won the match with a glorious cover drive off Nathan Gilchrist for four.

The home side were docked a point for slow bowling-rate but it mattered not one bit to a large gathering of supporters who stayed on for the trophy presentation – staged in front of the Hound Road stand with the pavilion currently hidden behind sheets and scaffolding. (BBC Sport)
