Northeast, who made a record red-ball score of 335 on the hallowed turf in the County Championship back in April struck 67 in 45 balls as the visitors chased down a target of 174 with 10 balls to spare, despite 3 for 31 from Middlesex quick Henry Brookes.

Trent Bridge: Worcestershire 154-8, Nottinghamshire 134-7 - Worcestershire win by 20 runs

Notts Outlaws suffered their third defeat in three North Group matches as Worcestershire Rapids repeated their 2023 Vitality Blast victory at Trent Bridge to make it two wins from three.

The Rapids recovered from 58 for 6 to finish on 154 for8after New Zealand seamer Nathan Smith hit a career-best 51 not out from 35 balls, sharing an 82-run, seventh-wicket stand with stand-in skipper Adam Hose, who hit 36 from 37 after being dropped on nought. Kiwi left-armer Ben Lister and leg-spinner Calvin Harrison were the pick of the Outlaws bowlers.

With their biggest batting hopes back in the hut inside the powerplay, Notts were never really in contention in the face of some disciplined bowling and sharp fielding from the Rapids, Will Young top-scoring with a modest 25. Seamer Tom Taylor took 2 for 23.
