Hampshire were crowned the kings of limited-overs cricket after a dramatic last-ball victory over Warwickshire in the Clydesdale Bank 40 final sealed a trophy double for the Royals.
Already Twenty20 champions, Hampshire laid the foundations for their Lord's triumph by posting 244 for five, the highest total in three years of CB40 finals.
Warwickshire's chase was inspired by a magnificent 81 from Ian Bell, and a four from the penultimate ball of the match from Neil Carter drew the scores level. But Carter, in his last match for the Bears, failed to get a bat onto Kabir Ali's final delivery to leave Warwickshire on 244 for seven - and Hampshire claimed the trophy by virtue of losing fewer wickets.
