Rain again proved to be the major hindrance across the English domestic season with most matches failing to kick-off.
Less than a session’s play was possible between Nottinghamshire and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andre-Adams-c1033, who completed 600 first-class wickets. The former Kiwi player had already bagged four on the opening
day and added the key scalp of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AG-Prince-c949 to complete an impressive five-wicket haul and reaching 40 wickets this season.
It was his 14th five-for for the English county side as Notts took control of the match against Division’s defending champions. Lancs resumed from their overnight score of 203 for 6 and Prince added some valuable runs in the company of skipper
Glenn Chapple, who eventually ended on 24.
Prince was handed a reprieve by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Hales-c985 when he was on 51 and added 29 more to his tally before Adam struck. Hales made amends by holding on to a catch at the second time of asking. The tourists stuttered thereafter, with the skipper being cleaned up
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Franks-c2163.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-Kerrigan-c2532 had added 9 apiece to take the team’s total to 272 before further rain meant that no play was possible.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851 made compensation for the mess they had inflicted upon themselves on Day 1 to reduce Sussex to 90 for 6. Only six overs were possible through the course of Day 2 but the visitors made full use of the time to claim four hosts’ wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sussex-c852 were in the driving seat when play resumed for a brief spell. Having embarrassed their opponents to 124, they had wiped out the major chunk on the opening day by posting 81 for 2. However, they came unstuck in the six overs with Stuart Meaker doing
most of the damage by claiming three wickets, while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LJ-Wright-c1841.
The teams will be hoping for improved batting condition when play resumes on Day 3.
