09.30 MATCH ABANDONED Nottinghamshire's first class game v Camb MCCU at Fenner's has been abandoned. Very wet yesterday and heavy overnight rain and a poor forecast have combined. The match has been abandoned as a draw



Day 2

If the current weather in Cambridge is anything like as half as bad as here in the East Midlands , where we're had snow this morning followed by heavy rain, then it's game over for today and tomorrow.

Day 1

It remains to be seen what the umpires find on inspection later, but after almost constant rain on Friday and Saturday, a period of drying out might be necessary for at least the morning on day one.
