Nelson’s recent good run came to a shuddering halt as they were well beaten by Enfield at Seedhill.

The game was already reduced to 45 overs and Nelson were in trouble at 77-8 when more rain came down in the 33rd over.

When play restarted some two hours later, Enfield had 27 overs to chase a reduced target of 66 - and they breezed home with eight wickets in hand to stun Colin Pemberton‘s fourth-placed outfit.
