So dark up above

Another damp start...

Play finally got under way at 4:15pm.

Yorkshire won the toss and put Notts in to bat,

which might raise an eyebrow in the Boycott household.

Notts' stand-in skipper Jason Gallian was quickly dismissed for five,

but Darren Bicknell and Russell Warren shared a comfortable fifty partnership...

...before bad light stopped play after only an hour's play!

Ahh, to be in England now that April's here!

Bad news for Nottinghamshire on the Test Match front today. The venues for the 2009 Ashes Test series have been announced and Trent Bridge ain't there. Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, is to host a Test for the first time: "ahead of the established Old Trafford and Durham's Riverside stadium" as the BBC report put it - forgetting that another established Test Match venue will miss out: Trent Bridge, home to reigning county champions Notworthmentioningshire.
