The home side won the toss and put Rasen into bat, and the visitors started well as Mark Bedford (23) and James Snell (18) shared a stand of 56 for the second wicket.

But when Bedford fell in the 17th over, it sparked a dramatic collapse.

A mixture of good bowling and a couple of interesting umpiring decisions saw Rasen bowled out for just 86.
