Anuj Dal’s 121-ball 83 was ultimately in vain as Nottinghamshire’s Second XI slipped to defeat, by 15 runs, against Worcestershire at Oakham School.
Brett Hutton and Matt Milnes each took two wickets as the visitors were limited to 244, despite George Rhodes scoring 134.
Steven Mullaney’s rehabilitation from a foot injury continued with six overs for 24 runs.
Matt Carter (57 off 53) joined Dal in a stand of 101 for the seventh wicket to give Nottinghamshire a chance in their run-chase.
The dismissal of the off-spinning all-rounder signalled the end of the fixture as a contest.
