JACK Haynes and Haseeb Hameed overcame Nick Gubbins’ latest century as Notts Outlaws beat Hampshire at The Rose Bowl in Group A of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup.

Gubbins became the first player in this year’s competition to reach 500 runs with a sublime 144 not out, as the hosts posted 290.

But Haynes followed up scores of 51, 56 and 124 in his last four innings with a thrilling 97, before skipper Hameed struck 86 to hand Hampshire only their second home 50-over defeat since 2021.

The Outlaws jump onto second-placed Hampshire's necks with their third victory.

Gubbins was the constant of Hampshire’s batting but having been put in, middling partnerships were what compiled their par 290.

All but two of the seven stands were between 46 and 57 as batters came in, got a start and then left Gubbins to a new tryst.
