Lancashire v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 - County Championship Division One – Live Score and Update
Nottinghamshire 169 v Lancashire 48/1 (14.3 ov) - Lancashire trail by 121 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
At stumps on the first day of the four-day match between Lancashire and Nottinghamshire at Old Trafford, Manchester, Lancashire trail by 121 runs with 9 wickets in hand in their first innings after putting 48 runs on the board for the loss of one wicket in response to the first innings tally of 169 runs posted by Nottinghamshire on Wednesday, May 02.
The match was a mix of performances from both teams as there were times when the batsmen ruled, while at other instances the bowlers dominated the day.
Nottinghamshire after winning the toss, chose to bat first as they wanted to post maximum runs on the board on a good wicket.
However, they were left in ruins after getting off to the worst possible start after having lost three of their main batsmen with only 16 runs on the board as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glen-Chapple-c60141, grabbed all three wickets.
With such a staggering start by Lancashire, it was only logical to think that the side would maintain pressure on the batting side, but they lost their way in the centre as the Notts batsmen http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Taylor-c66127 held off the aggressive bowling brigade.
However, resistance was futile as the side kept losing wickets at almost random, but for as long as Patel was on the crease, they had a serious chance of finishing the day on an intimidating total.
Finally with 149 runs on the board, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Huzefa-Mohammed-Patel-c63657 became the penultimate wicket to fall from his side as he departed after belting a well tamed knock of 69 runs.
From Lancashire, Chapple and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-Kerrigan-c2532 were phenomenal with four wickets a piece as they made life extremely difficult for the batsmen.
Upon restricting the opposition before the end of the day, the Notts were flying high and were eager to post a mammoth total by the end of their innings in order to take a daunting lead in the match.
The day ended on the wicket of Lancashire opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Moore-c2572 standing unbeaten on 23 runs.
