Dour and Drizzly

Notts desperately need to get a win under their belts in the Championship - especially after blowing it last week down at Hove when, only needing 162 runs to win, they were all out for 120 - but already this is looking like another match destined to be ruined by the weather. There were a few spots of rain as the players went off for lunch, it held off for forty minutes until they came out for the afternoon session, and then the drizzle steadily got worse, slowly steamrollering any chance of a resumption. Durham had been stuck in to bat this morning, and get stuck in they did - only losing one wicket during a tight morning session.

Close of Play: Durham 88-1
