But lower order contributions from Jordan (20 not out) and Darren Quibell (28) helped the visitors use up their full allocation, bowled out tot he final ball of the 50th over for 196.

Will Bradford and Scales’ fell early to leave Rasen’s reply at an identical 27-2.

Opener Tom Borysczuk followed up his three-wicket haul by anchoring the innings, but when he was seventh man out for 63, Rasen were still 80 runs adrift.

Skipper Dale Christie chipped in with 25, but Ciaron Deegan (4 for 23) ended the Rasen innings on 132.
