Hales an injury doubt

Alex Hales is suffering with a strained quad so will be under the physio today; if the physio fails in his task, Scott Elstone stands-by ready to fill Hales' boots.


[Twitter suggests Elstone will play but the Notts website is more optimistic that Hales will be fit]


The DoC has now a policy of "consistency" in squad selection and also hopes Samit Patel is available from rain duties with England, if not Graeme White waits for his turn. Watch-out for a surprise in tonight's XI as Mr Newell has said he isn't going to meddle - a definite indicator of change.


Notts seconds had a four day wash out at Kidderminster.




ANSWER


No - Hales didn't play


Notts appeared to have lost their mojo, for the evening only - fingers crossed, Carter being awful, Mullaney dropping a skier - unheard of, Patel very rusty and surprise selection ahead of Elstone, White, looking like he hadn't bowled for weeks, which he hasn't much.
