CRIK:McDermott's unbeaten 63 brings Lancs' first Blast win

Hobart Hurricane's Ben McDermott has smashed an unbeaten 63 from 27 balls to help Lancashire to their first English Blast victory of the season, a 39-run win over Nottinghamshire.

The Aussie batter let loose after his side chose to bat first, and he was well supported by half-centuries from captain Keaton Jennings (51) and Matty Hurst (57) as Lancashire finished on 4-208.

McDermott, who made just 12 on his Lancashire debut in a weekend defeat by Surrey, found his feet in spectacular fashion, locating the Old Trafford boundary 10 times.

Tom Hartley then took four wickets as Lancashire put Nottinghamshire to the sword.

Nottinghamshire captain Joe Clarke scored 21 before being bowled by Hartley and George Munsey added 37, with the home bowlers then taking control.
