Harry Gurney starts with a no-ball, giving Surrey a free hit, but Jason Roy can only manage a single with an ugly-looking hoik to mid-on. Gurney goes past the outside edge of Mark Stoneman's bat twice in the over with deliveries which leave him off the pitch, but the over ends with a boundary through the covers for the left-hander.

I think Nottinghamshire's batting line-up on paper is stronger than Surrey's, I think they've got more depth and a lot of experience, that's the key for me.

Surrey have super talented players but Nottinghamshire just have the edge with experience.

How costly will Jason Roy's let-off be for Notts? It gifts the England one-day opener a single, bringing Mark Stoneman onto strike, and he quickly shows his pedigree by cracking a wide ball through the covers for the first boundary of the game.

Surrey 1-0published at 0.1 overs

Luke Fletcher takes the new ball for Notts, and Jason Roy nibbles at his opening delivery. It's a straightforward catch but it's through Riki Wessels' hands at first slip.

As the old vicar used to say in Derek Nimmo's 60s sitcom Oh Brother...."Oh, calamity!"

The Notts team are in the field, along with umpires Tim Robinson and Alex Wharf, and Surrey openers Jason Roy and Mark Stoneman are on their way to the middle. Let battle commence.

Surrey coach Michael Di Venuto feels today's final features two sides who have hit their straps at the right time.

"The key is to playing your best cricket at the right end of a tournament and we're certainly heading into the final with confidence," he told BBC Radio London.

"But, so are Notts. When you're playing in play-off games, you need to win. It's shaping up to be a great final."

"It's rarely dull watching Notts Outlaws in white-ball action, but this season they've surpassed anything seen before with some incredible performances.

"After the disappointment of losing their first two matches in the group stage, they bounced back with a series of positive performances that enabled them to take the knock-out phase by storm.

"More than 400 runs scored when batting first against Somerset and then a domestic-record run chase in the semi-final win at Chelmsford confirms they are equally at home, whether setting the pace or batting second.

"With both sides packed with star names, this has every right to be one of the great finals and I'd expect nothing less.

"Surrey squeaked home when they last met - in the semi-final two years ago - but this is a Notts side that continually finds a way to get the job done and their current momentum should give them an outstanding chance of lifting the trophy."

"Surrey's third final in as many years and they head to Lord's having put it together at just the right time.

"They were good in patches during the group stage, but in the play-off and semi-final games, they played their best cricket.

"Every player knows their role in the side and confidence will be high after the way they performed, when it mattered, in the knock-out games.

"But they know they are up against a terrific Outlaws side and, on paper, it should be a fantastic final.

"Surrey have timed their run to Lord's perfectly this year and we will see their best cricket on Saturday. As long as they do themselves justice and play to their potential, the result should take care of itself."

Notts all-rounder Samit Patel is having one of the best seasons of his career with the bat, but it takes some doing to be the leading run-scorer in such a powerful batting line-up.

Patel has managed 532 runs in the One-Day Cup this summer, including two centuries - a total bettered only by Essex's Alastair Cook and Colin Ingram of Glamorgan.

One of those centuries, an unbeaten 122 against Essex - enabled Notts to chase down an English 50-over record target of 371 in the semi-final at Chelmsford.

In 2013, it was Patel's spin bowling (3-21) that played an important part in their YB40 final win over Glamorgan at Lord's, will it be his batting that makes the difference this time?

After disappointing defeats in the 2015 and 2016 One-Day Cup finals, Gareth Batty and his Surrey side need no extra incentive to pull out all the stops against Notts.

In 2015, the trophy seemed to be theirs for the taking as they chased a modest target of 221 to beat Gloucestershire, but from 143-2 after 34 overs, they lost eight wickets for 71 and came up short by six runs.

Twelve months on, and Surrey were again let down by their batting as they were bowled out for just 136 by Warwickshire, leaving the Bears with the formality of completing an eight-wicket win with almost 20 overs to spare.

Surely such a talented top order - bolstered this summer by the arrival of Mark Stoneman and Scott Borthwick from Durham - cannot misfire again. Notts supporters are hoping that they will.

There is no denying the pedigree of Surrey's Sri Lankan batting star Kumar Sangakkara, and having announced that this summer will be his last for the county, he would love one last hurrah at the home of cricket.

The left-hander will turn 40 in October, but his powers show no sign of waning, and he has scored 1,601 runs in Championship and One-Day Cup cricket this summer, with eight centuries.

But in Australia's James Pattinson, now 'unemployed' at home because of the contracts stand-off down under, Notts have a fast bowler capable of making even the best of batsmen hop about when his rhythm is right.

Pattinson took 12 wickets to help his side reach Lord's for the first time since 2013 and although his career stats suggest red-ball cricket is his main forte, he will be looking to do the business with the white one against Surrey.

Nottinghamshire and Surrey have played each other 48 times in List A games since their first meeting in a Sunday League fixture in 1969.

The Midlands county have come out on top 22 times, compared to 18 wins for Surrey, with two games ending in no results, and six washed out altogether by rain.

Notts last won in a CB40 game in July 2012, but it was Surrey who were victorious when they met most recently in a One-Day Cup semi-final in September 2015.

No guesses as to who was Man of the Match on that occasion - Kumar Sangakkara, of course, for a brilliant innings of 166 off 138 balls, although Surrey only scraped home in the end by four runs.

Surrey skipper Gareth Batty won the toss and has chosen to bat first.

Surrey make one change to the XI that outplayed Worcestershire by 153 runs in the semi-finals, with Scott Borthwick preferred to Rory Burns. Mark Stoneman will move up from three to his normal opening position three alongside Jason Roy, with Borthwick slotting in at six.

England fast bowler Stuart Broad has recovered sufficiently from a heel injury to play for Notts, who make one enforced change to the side that beat Essex by five wickets in their semi-finals, with Luke Fletcher replacing Jake Ball, who has a knee problem.

We believe Chris Read (38) and Batty (39) may be the oldest captains in a one-day final at Lord's since Jackie Bond and MJK Smith skippered Lancashire and Warwickshire in 1972.

Nottinghamshire: Lumb, Hales, Wessels, Patel, Taylor, Mullaney, Read (capt), Broad, Pattinson, Fletcher, Gurney.

Surrey: Roy, Stoneman, Sangakkara, Foakes, Pope, Borthwick, S Curran, T Curran, Batty (capt), Rampaul, Dernbach.

After a number of this week's County Championship games were disrupted by rain, the graphic below suggests we may be in luck with an uninterrupted day's play in prospect at Lord's. For more detailed information, visit the BBC Weather website and type London or NW8 in the 'Find a Forecast' box.

A domestic one-day final on 1 July may not be a new thing, but it feels markedly different from the traditional September end-of-season showcases of yesteryear.

With it still being mid-summer and floodlights available, the prospect of a last-over finish in the fading light, like the iconic 1993 final between Warwickshire and Sussex, is removed.

But, there's no less a feeling of occasion when you walk through the famous gates of HQ. There's still a domestic trophy up for grabs in front of a big crowd and a chance to etch your name in English cricket's history books.

Nottinghamshire and Surrey have never before met in a Lord's final - but how do their records at the home of cricket match up?

Surrey - 12 finals

1965 (Gillette Cup runners-up), 1974 (Benson & Hedges Cup winners), 1979 (B & H runners-up), 1980 (GC runners-up), 1981 (B & H runners-up), 1982 (NatWest Trophy winners), 1991 (NWT runners-up), 1997 (B & H winners), 2001 (B & H winners), 2011 (CB40 winners), 2015 (One-Day Cup runners-up), 2016 (One-Day Cup runners-up).

1982 (Benson & Hedges Cup runners-up), 1985 (NatWest Trophy runners-up), 1987 (NWT winners), 1989 (B&H Cup winners), 2013 (YB40 winners)

Limited-overs cricket may not have the 145-year history of the FA Cup, but a trip to Lord's for a final surely offers the same thrill for players as an appearance at Wembley does for their football counterparts - even if they don't travel there on a luxury coach with on-board casino and tanning salon, or by helicopter from a Michelin-starred Hertfordshire training base.

Today, it is the players from Surrey and Nottinghamshire who have made the journey to the home of cricket, with hopeful dreams of lifting silverware in their hearts.

Welcome to our coverage of the Royal London One-Day Cup final. Play starts at 11:00 BST.
