Notts won the toss and put Durham in on a green, muddy-coloured looking wicket. The humid atmosphere would have been good for swing bowling, had it not been windy but nevertheless Notts made inroads into the Durham batting before the forecast rain arrived.

v Somerset CB40 at Taunton 2012
Bu-spin-ess as Usual!
Business as usual for Notts; spinning pitch and another loss as they were humiliated in the Taunton sunshine yesterday.

Outlaws bullied by Rehman and Trescothick
Outlaws all in a spin, for the third CB40 match in a row - the main architect of the destruction Abdur Rehman (sack that Home Office official that eventually issued the Visa, a week too early for Notts)
Early doors, Riki Wessels had taken the attack to Somerset but once he'd perished for 53 there was little else until Graeme White offered some late resistance with a career best knock.
Outlaws 206/9
Riki Wessels 53
Michael Lumb 41
Graeme White 39 not out
Abdur Rehman 6/16
Somerset targeted everything from the off and raced towards victory at more than 10 runs per over. Opener, the South African England International, Craig Kieswetter smashed a rapid 44, out on his 23rd ball faced but Trego and Tresco maintained the slaughter . Man of the month, Graeme White took a couple of wickets and the mayhem eased only slightly as Notts Outlaws headed towards an embarrassing defeat. A brief glimmer of hope was offered by a brace of Carter wickets but it was all too little, much too late.
Not for the first season, come this time of year and its typical wickets, Notts look ill-equipped to compete in any competition. Today's defeat however is down mainly to Abdur Reyman; England could cope with him last winter and Notts struggled likewise today. Trescothick then just bullied the inexperienced Outlaw attack.
Somerset 209/5 (64 balls to spare)
Marcus Trescothick 87 not out
Craig Kieswetter 44
Peter Trego 26
Jos Buttler 26
Andy Carter 3/48
Time to change things Mr Newell - this isn't working!
At Hove, Sussex have leap-frogged Notts to second in the championship with an eight wicket win (21 points) over Middlesex, with a day to spare.

Damage Limitation v Somerset LV 2012
Just as the game was shaping into one where Somerset were secure but Notts could crumble and lose, Adam Voges in his first over removes James Hildreth for 83.
Happy Birthday Chris Read, 34 today!
Somerset lead by 69 with 2 wickets left
Bears meanwhile are cruising to victory and with 2 draws against Notts, the Championship. 117/1, 143 more runs needed.
Jonny Bairstow is looking to usurp James Taylor in the England Test eleven, 124 not out against the Aussie A and still going

In a question to the ECB:

Rain at Taunton but ex Notts boys in action at Grantham
Day two at Taunton, 15.4 overs were bowled all day, due to light rain, drizzle and poor light.
Given the unfavourable conditions it's little surprise that Notts lost a further couple of wickets; 48/3 at stumps.
