Nottinghamshire Outlaws grabbed a narrow and thrilling victory over Leicestershire Foxes, winning by one wicket with one ball to spare, on a day which saw Durham, Derbyshire and Worcestershire all post wins in T20 Blast North Group.
Durham defended a big total, Derbyshire chased one down and Northants’ slide continued, this time at the hands of Worcestershire.
Meanwhile, in the South Group, Essex claimed their first win in a rain-affected game with Surrey, while Somerset, Gloucestershire and Glamorgan were also victorious.
But the prize for the most nerve-racking finish went to Trent Bridge.
After visitors Leicestershire had posted 188-2 from 20 overs, with half-centuries from Rishi Patel (51) and Sol Budinger (56), Nottinghamshire had looked in control of the chase after 50 from Joe Clarke and a gutsy cameo from Tom Moores (42).
But the loss of Moores for the seventh wicket saw the game tighten with 10 still needed from 14 balls and prompted a late wobble.
Needing five for the win and four for a tie from the final over, three singles then a wicket brought last man Farhan Ahmed to the crease with two needed from two balls.
His hit out to the cover boundary was gathered by his brother Rehan but with Farhan gambling on a second the throw came in just too late to prevent Notts getting home.
