One-Day final heads to reserve day due to rain at Trent Bridge

The 2024 Metro Bank Last among Somerset and Glamorgan has been constrained into a hold day after no play was conceivable on Sunday at Trent Bridge. Heavy downpours and thunderstorms across the UK were felt especially brutally in the Midlands, meaning not even the throw was conceivable as the pitch and square stayed under covers, with reliable showers forestalling any endeavor at a tidy up. The groups will return on Monday to endeavor an entire 50-overs challenge, however greater nasty weather conditions is normal. In case of a no-result, Somerset (50-over champions in 2019) and Glamorgan (2021 heroes) would share the prize.

Had any play been conceivable, the match would have started as a 50-overs-a-side undertaking and gushed out over into Monday before any decrease in the playing conditions would have been carried out. For Somerset, the hang tight for flatware goes on - yet for an additional 24 hours - with the One-Day Cup now the main prize remaining in a bid for full go-around of titles that was wrecked the week before. Last Saturday's loss in the Shoot last to Gloucestershire was trailed by rout to Lancashire which gave Surrey their third back to back District Title with a round in excess. Glamorgan, in the mean time, could do with something to cheer. They neglected to get South Gathering in the Impact and are presently second-base in Division Two heading into the last round. The two groups brought three mentors of fans along on Sunday. Around 200 Somerset fans set off from Taunton at 6.10am, while Glamorgan had two transports leaving Cardiff at 6am, and one from Swansea which showed up on Saturday and will stay for the time being with the expectation that Monday's gauge is a flop.
