Yorkshire warmed up for this week’s Vitality Blast quarter-finals with an 18-run victory over North Group winners Nottinghamshire Outlaws as they defended a 194-target in a topsy-turvy clash at Headingley. The victory sets up a home quarter-final against Somerset.

The Outlaws were already qualified - and with a home fixture on Wednesday - while Yorkshire advanced to the last eight as second-placed finishers. Once the other results were known, Yorkshire found out they were the best of the second-placed teams across the three groups and therefore they've secured a home tie in only their seventh ever quarter-final appearance. They'll now entertain fifth-placed Somerset at 4.30pm on Wednesday.
