Worcestershire v Nottinghamshire - County Championship Division One - Day 2 – Live Score and Update
Nottinghamshire 243 v Worcestershire 72/6 (32.3 ov) - Worcestershire trail by 171 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
The English weather is perhaps the greatest adversary of cricket and today was no different as rain swept away much of the second day of play between Worcestershire and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 in the County Championship Division One, reducing the game to a 32.3 over event.
Nevertheless, Nottinghamshire still took full advantage of the time they had on the field as they dismissed six http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866 wickets after conceding only 72 runs, putting enormous pressure on the batting side, which was chasing a first innings total of 243 runs posted by the Notts.
By bagging six wickets on day two, the Notts are now in a comfortable position and would be looking to seal a win by the end of the match.
On the other hand, Worcestershire now not only have to give a belligerent batting performance in their remaining innings, but will have to bowl-out the Notts on a small total later in the second innings if they want to chase a reachable total.
Earlier, the day started with Worcestershire openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Klinger-c76093 coming out to add more runs to their overnight tally of five.
With 35 runs on the board, the side lost the services of Klinger, who perished after scoring an innings of 22 runs.
Later with a tally of 42 on the scoreboard, it was time for the second wicket to fall as number-three batsman, Vikram Solanki departed after scoring only a run off 12 deliveries.
By this point in time, the batsmen had lost pace in their innings and were wasting overs without scoring any runs off them, which was actually helping the fielding side, and with dark clouds hovering above, conditions were certainly not helping the batsmen.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-c76390 was then the third wicket to fall, as he walked off the field after making 24 runs. At the time of his demise the side had amassed 56 runs.
This triggered a batting collapse as the side lost three more wickets before stumps, ending up in a vulnerable position.
