Nottinghamshire 161 – Durham won the toss and chose to field
On the first day of the four-day match between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 county sides Durham and Nottinghamshire in the County Championship Division One, Nottinghamshire clobbered 161 runs at the end of their first innings in the match that is currently being played at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street.
After winning the toss, Durham, who are hosting the match, chose to field first in a bid to test their bowlers against a decent batting line-up from Nottinghamshire.
With four days of play to go, no one had expected the batting side to crumble before the end of the first day, but Durham came out with an aggressive mood and grabbed their first wicket with only 12 runs on the board, when Nottinghamshire opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Neil-Edwards-c2092, faltered after scoring only seven runs.
Then with 16 runs on the scoreboard, the hosts struck once more by decapitating http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Hales-c985, who could muster a cameo innings of five runs off 25 deliveries.
With both openers back in the pavilion, the Notts were certainly in a spot of bother as they would have preferred a better start to their innings on the first day.
Number-three batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samit-Patel-c2426 then initiated a rebuild process by countering the bowlers and preventing the fall of another wicket.
However, with 32 runs on the board, Lumb after crafting a patient innings of nine runs lost his wicket.
This brought http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Huzefa-Mohammed-Patel-c63657, the latter perished after scoring 13 runs, leaving the side standing on a tally of 38. These were desperate times for the batting team as they needed the batsmen to stay in the middle for bigger knocks, but the fielding side just kept on getting breakthroughs at regular intervals.
The arrival of skipper, Chris Read, halted the bowling onslaught for a while, as he crafted a stable partnership alongside http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915.
The two batsmen took the score to 104 runs before Taylor, who had amassed an impressive innings of 32 runs, lost his wicket to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Stokes-c1142.
Later, Durham strike bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 scalps by the end of the innings in his 15.3 overs, as the hosts effectively brought Nottinghamshire’s innings to the ultimate demise in 59.3 overs.
