Scorecard

Sri Lanka A edged a high-scoring day at Trent Bridge, chasing down a rain-reduced target of 272 with five wickets to spare to beat Nottinghamshire.

Lahiru Thirimane anchored the chase with 70 from 84 balls and there were solid contributions throughout the top-order but it was Bhanuka Rajapaksa's 29-ball 47, with five fours and two sixes, that sealed the game.

It was a solid effort from the tourists against a second-string Nottinghamshire attack the bowlers had had a tough first half to the day as the home side racked up 293 for 9 in their fifty overs.

Steven Mullaney, Notts skipper for the day, made 61 and Riki Wessels a boundary-studded 57 at the top of the order but contributions from the tail helped take the hosts to a strong total. No.7 - No. 11 added 101 between them and offspinner Sachithra Serasinghe was the only successful bowler with 3 for 39.
