Nottinghamshire completed their second victory of the County Championship season, defeating neighbours Leicestershire by 10 wickets with two sessions to spare at Grace Road.
Left-arm spinner Liam Patterson-White took centre stage, picking up the last five Leicestershire wickets for figures of 5-53 after bowling 36 overs unchanged.
It left Nottinghamshire, the defending Division One champions, with a target of just 73 to wrap up a 23-point victory.
Ben Slater completed the task by hammering left-arm quick Josh Hull over cover for six to finish on 52 not out, with skipper Haseeb Hameed unbeaten on 22.
Slater was dropped behind the stumps on 15 off Ian Holland, the Leicestershire captain, in the only fleeting moment of encouragement for the home side.
Umpires Richard Illingworth and Surendiran Shanmugam allowed the teams to stay on the field beyond the scheduled lunch interval to complete the job at 13:17 BST.
Leicestershire, 215-7 overnight, having at least done enough to make Nottinghamshire bat a second time, lost their eighth wicket to the fourth ball of the morning as Tom Scriven popped up a simple catch to short leg off Patterson-White.
Ajaz Patel, after his career-best 62 in the first innings, looked in the mood to continue where he had left off. He was lucky to get away with an inside edge for four off Lyndon James but picked up back-to-back boundaries off Patterson-White with a couple of authentic shots.
Yet the response from the Nottinghamshire spinner was too good, Patel having no answer to a ball that turned sharply from the rough outside off stump to bowl him in the next over.
Hull, whose manful support for Stevie Eskinazi in the first innings had allowed his partner to secure an extra batting point, gamely stuck around again as Ben Green secured such gains as he could before a thick outside edge saw him caught at backward point as Patterson-White claimed his fifth.
