Lintott took 3-28 for Birmingham Bears against Notts Outlaws in the Vitality Blast T20 on Friday, having completed a 10-day period of self isolation following a positive coronavirus test, but saw his side slump to a 114-run defeat at Edgbaston.

They are currently fifth in the North Group and visit Worcestershire Rapids on Friday.

Clevedon saw their lead at the top of the WEPL Premier One table cut to six points after falling to defeat against Bath in a rain-affected match at Dial Hill on Saturday.

The visitors made 245-3 from 41 overs, as Mark Bibbing, Jack Harding and Max Horton took the wickets to fall, and Clevedon were set a revised target of 214 from 34.3 overs for victory.

Greg Willows (60), Ryan Thorpe (43) and Jared Warner (33) made starts, but they came up short on 192-7 and suffered only a second defeat in 10 matches this season.

They are due to visit Chippenham on Saturday (12.30pm) but before that travel to Bedminster for a Somerset Cup quarter-final tie on Thursday (6pm).
