10 mins break and then a decision.
Umpires handling it well.

Yes very sensible from all parties. The Notts players look really shocked unsurprisingly.

Yes, very impressed by the umpires here - and everyone to be honest, from the look of it. All seem to be handling a very difficult situation as best as possible.

But I'm still expecting the game to be called off.

Think he must be ok because they're resuming play at 9.10.

Can't say that I'm surprised that 9.10 has come and gone.

Yeah. Perhaps the Sky them just assumed it was a 10 minute delay and then it would resume.

They're coming back now so that must be a good sign. Think if there was any serious concern about Fletcher they have called it off.

Yep, good news you presume. And half an hour or so for the players to just take it all in etc. Sam Hain in particular, despite not being at fault at all.

Well done to all involved.

Yes, it was handled very well.

Horror error from Michael Lumb.

Even worse than Rikki Clarke's entire innings (who, despite Freddie's praises, did his best to lose/tie that game for Warks - SR of barely above 100).

At the end of the day though, arguably the best team in the north group - maybe even the country - have lost 2 from 2.

didn't think it was possible but Flintoff was even more annoying than Danny Morrison on commentary tonight

I agree. He hardly seemed to pause for breath - started off over excited and got progressively more manic!

Just three days in, and we already have our first 100. Ingram off 46 balls. He has to be a contender for most destructive batsman in he country.

And swiftly followed by Luke Wright doing likewise in reply.

Another one of the big favourites, Essex, also start with consecutive losses.
