SUNLG: Nottinghamshire v Hampshire, Trent Bridge, 3 September 1995

Chris Cairns contributed a 75-ball century  for  Nottinghamshire,
but his team`s dismal finish to the season continued as Hampshire
successfully chased a target of 240 at Trent  Bridge  to  win  by
five wickets.

The New Zealand all-rounder hammered six fours and six  sixes  in
his  98-minute  innings.  But  the  Notts bowlers could not match
Cairns` efforts as Hampshire cruised to victory with seven  balls
to spare.

Openers Sean Morris and Jason Laney laid the foundations for  the
Hampshire  win with half-centuries in an opening stand of 119 off
only 20 overs.

Both batsmen were dismissed in quick succession by  Usman  Afzaal
but  Paul Whitaker kept the momentum going with an unbeaten 41 as
Notts were punished for some wayward bowling and sloppy fielding.

Nottinghamshire have awarded a county cap to wicketkeeper-batsman
Wayne  Noon, who has been a regular since taking over from former
Test player Bruce French at the beginning of the 1994 season.
