Worcs 147-9 v Notts
Steven Mullaney
Nottinghamshire all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraIt's probably about a 160 par wicket but the pitch did slow up a little and we had success taking the pace off. So we're going to have to play well.

Ian Bell
Former England batsman on BBC Radio 5 live Sports ExtraWorcestershire will feel there was more in the tank - no-one went on to a 70 or 80 despite a few starts. But we're well set up here.
Worcs 147-9 v Nottspublished at 20 overs
Well, they don't quite make it to 150 but Ross Whiteley's 36 from 28 balls has given them hope.
Matt Carter's spin saw him take 3-32 and it was spin and slower pace bowling that troubled Worcestershire.
That's an under par score from Worcestershire and their bowlers will need to be on top form to get a victory here, with Alex Hales on the way for the Outlaws.

Worcs 140-8 v Notts
Ross Whiteley might be gone, but his big hitting towards the end of this innings might prove to be the difference for Worcestershire if they can perform with the ball shortly.

Ian Bell
Former England batsman on BBC Radio 5 live Sports ExtraHarry Gurney has been all around the world, playing in different leagues and conditions. He doesn't play red-ball cricket any more so this is what he's paid to do now.
WICKET Whiteley c Wood b Gurney 36published at 19.3 overs
Worcs 140-8 v Notts
Two wides from Harry Gurney but no matter, as Ross Whiteley goes big and finds Luke Wood in the deep.
He's played very well and given the Rapids a glimmer of hope at least.

A wide from Harry Gurney before Ross Whiteley charges down the pitch - only to completely miss the ball.

Worcs 137-7 v Nottspublished at 19 overs
Just five from the 19th over.
Not what the Rapids need but great bowling from Luke Wood who remains wicketless but has made an impact.
Worcs 136-7 v Nottspublished at 18.5 overs
A good delivery from Luke Wood stops Ross Whiteley in his tracks and Daryl Mitchell then can't get his away.
Frustration for the Rapids with no boundary for 13 deliveries.
Worcs 135-7 v Nottspublished at 18.2 overs
Luke Wood returns to the fold and Mitchell teases a delivery down leg to give Whiteley the strike.
Whiteley then runs hard to get a couple and keep the strike.
Can he find another couple of sixes here?

Whiteley 33 & Mitchell 4
Ross Whiteley has certainly given the Rapids innings some much-needed late impetus.
They were really struggling to hit the boundary before he arrived but he's brought the fireworks.
All of that as baby Trump chases a Mariachi band around the stands, while the Power Rangers watch on.
Standard.

Former England batsman on BBC Radio 5 live Sports Extra140-150 brings pressure in the chase. Worcestershire like to take pace off and would be confident trying to defend that sort of score.

Charles Dagnall
BBC Test Match Special commentatorWhiteley decided that Mullaney is the man to go. All shoulders, power and reach. Is that the over to swing things Worcestershire's way?
Worcs 125-7 v Nottspublished at 17 overs
Whiteley 31 & Mitchell 1
Whiteley goes for another six and that's gone way back into the stand!
He follows-it up with a four that almost crept over the boundary while still in the air but not to worry, there's another six soon on the way! This is just what the Rapids need.
That's 17 from the over - can they get up to 150 from here?

Former England batsman on BBC Radio 5 live Sports ExtraWorcestershire have tried to hit the ball to square. Here at Edgbaston you have to go straight. Ross Whiteley needs to make the most of this now.
