Metro Bank One-Day Cup final: Somerset v Glamorgan heads to reserve day due to rain at Trent Bridge -Dlight News

The Metro Bank One-Day Cup final between Somerset and Glamorgan will head into a reserve day after rain saw play washed out on Sunday at Trent Bridge.

The 50-over showpiece had been due to start at 11am, but the covers remain on the square as persistent rain saw the toss delayed.

Rain continued into the afternoon in Nottingham, where the cut-off time for play to begin was 4.02pm, although play was abandoned for the day – with no improvement forecast in the weather – just after 2.30pm.

The final is now scheduled to take place on Monday, starting at 11am, although further rain is forecast and is likely to cause further disruption. If there is no result after the reserve day, the trophy is shared.

Somerset are trying to bring silverware back to Taunton just days after missing out on winning their maiden Vitality County Championship title, as defeat to Lancashire allowed Surrey to retain the trophy with a game to spare.

Glamorgan – One-Day Cup winners in 2021 – are also looking to end a disappointing season on a high, having failed to reach the knockout stages in the Vitality Blast and also struggling in Division Two of the County Championship.
