LONDON: Hampshire held their nerve to win a record-equalling third English county cricket Twenty20 Blast title after defeating Lancashire by just one run in a dramatic final at Edgbaston on Saturday.
With Lancashire needing four off the last ball to reach a target of 153, Australia limited-overs paceman Nathan Ellis bowled Richard Gleeson.
But as Hampshire celebrated, with fireworks launched into the Birmingham sky, replays revealed a no-ball.

That left Lancashire needing only two to win but, after the smoke had cleared, Gleeson could only manage a single as Lancashire finished on 151-8.
Ben McDermott — the son of former Australia fast bowler Craig McDermott — top-scored with 62 in what seemed to be Hampshire’s modest total of 152-8 after they had defeated Somerset in the semi-finals, with Lancashire seeing off arch-rivals Yorkshire.

Congratulations to Nathan Ellis and Ben McDermott – winners of the #T20Blast with Hampshire! ???? https://t.co/s5dganiXHx
