London, Apr 28 (UNI) Division One leaders Nottinghamshire eased to a nine-wicket win inside three days after outplaying Sussex in their County Championship match at Trent Bridge.
Needing 148 to win after Sussex were bowled out for 278 in their second innings, Nottinghamshire were home and dry in 25.5 overs after unbeaten half-centuries from skipper Haseen Hameed (62) and England's Ben Duckett (59), earning 21 points from their second victory of the campaign on Sunday.
A doughty 74 from Sussex captain John Simpson, backed up by off-spinning all-rounder Jack Carson's 43, kept the home side in the field until lunchtime, but Nottinghamshire looked as if they were in no mood to be still playing at tea, completing the job in good time to watch their neighbours from Nottingham Forest take on Manchester City in their FA Cup semi-final.
