That's it. Nottinghamshire win it by 12 runs (DLS method) as there will be no further play possible due to rain. Thanks for being patient all throughout. It was a pleasure bringing you this one. It indeed was until the rains barged in. Anyway, that's it from this one. We will see you with the next game soon. Bye!
