I'm sad they've collapsed. Notts have a good batting line up, should be doing much better.

And I've  supported Notts since 1968: Sobers, and co.

Looks like the batting is getting easier, looks like Notts should have bowled first.

Day 4. The expected rain has come.

With heavy rain falling the Umpires have decided to abandon play, so the result is a draw.
