Samit returns to torment former county

NOTTS Outlaws were handed a reminder by former player Samit Patel that he can be a match-winner at the age of 40 as Derbyshire Falcons broke their duck for the season and recorded a first Blast victory at Trent Bridge since 2013.

The veteran left-arm spinner, who took 208 T20 wickets in 21 seasons in Nottinghamshire colours, claimed another three for 14 as the Falcons consigned the Outlaws to a third straight defeat on their own turf, going down by 46 runs as they finished on 153 for nine chasing a target of 200.

Opener Aneurin Donald's 73 off 34 balls gave the Falcons a platform that was ultimately exploited by Brooke Guest (37 off 24) and Ross Whitely (35 off 16) in an unbroken sixth-wicket partnership of 65 of 33 balls out of 199 for five, after leg spinner Calvin Harrison had taken three for 32.
