Fourth Day Formalities?

Michael Lumb's 131, Andre Adams ten minute of fireworks with bat and minor contributions from the lower middle order, ensured Notts accumulated a healthy score to set a target of 368 for Durham. 


Only Phil Mustard (80) could resist the magnificent Andre Adams as he tore into the Durham batting. The third day ended with the last pair at the crease, 203/9 and Adams with 4 wickets all the other bowlers claimed a scalp each. Only the weather or record smashing luck and batting can save Durham from the formalities of another Nottinghamshire victory.

Nottsview looks forward to the eyewitness account when it arrives back from CLS


Surrey should beat Middlesex too on the last day at Lord's, 5/41 from Jon Lewis meant that Surrey had a target of 141; Surrey ended Day 3 on 95/4.


Warwickshire are on the cards to beat Somerset at Edgbaston, needing another 136 with 8 wickets intact.


Sussex had destroyed Champions Lancashire, mid-way through Day 3 at Aigburth. In Division 2, Derby claimed a similarly early victory at Cardiff, the Welsh county imploding in the second innings.
