Nottinghamshire Win English County 40-over Final

London: Nottinghamshire beat Glamorgan by 87 runs to win the English county 40-over final at Lord's on Saturday.

The eventual champions slumped to 90 for four before a fifth-wicket stand of 99 between Australia's David Hussey (42) and Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read (53), as well as Graeme Swann's 29 not out helped take the Midlands county to 244 for eight in their 40 overs.

Former England fast bowler Simon Jones, in his final match before becoming a Twenty20 specialist, led Welsh county Glamorgan's attack with two for 36 in his maximum permitted eight overs.

Glamorgan made a steady start to their pursuit of 245 but England left-arm spinner Samit Patel sparked a middle-order collapse from which they never recovered with a spell of three wickets for four runs in nine balls.

England fast bowler Stuart Broad took the last three wickets in six balls as Glamorgan were dismissed for 157 with seven overs remaining in their innings.

Brief scores:
Nottinghamshire:
244 for 8 (Read 53)
Glamorgan: 157 (Patel 3-21, Broad 3-29, Shahzad 3-33)
