Somerset and Nottinghamshire will return to Taunton for their Vitality Blast quarter-final on Monday after rain prevented any play on Sunday.

With rain falling throughout the day, the covers remained firmly on and after an inspection at 4pm, an hour after the scheduled start, the umpires took the decision to abandon play for the afternoon.

Thanks to a reserve day, the teams will be back at the ground on Bank Holiday Monday to try again with play due to begin at 1pm and a place at Finals Day at stake.
