Men’s cricket Rain washes out day two of Durham v Nottinghamshire

No play was possible due to heavy rain on day two of the County Championship clash between Durham and Nottinghamshire at Chester-le-Street.

Overnight rain persisted into the morning and, although there was brief respite which allowed the covers to be removed, the elements soon returned.

After a subsidence, a pitch inspection at 1.30pm offered hope, but the rain returned once again in the afternoon before play was eventually called off for the day at 3.55pm.

Notts will resume their first innings on 312 for nine on the morning of day three, having already secured three batting bonus points. Durham are also sitting on three bonus points after taking nine wickets.

However, the hosts face a challenge to force the victory they need in the remaining two days to earn qualification to Division One in the next stage of the competition.
