10 no balls?

who's bowling all those?

or is it just a couple that evaded the cordon?

[Durhamfootman]

We have them 6 down, but they've claimed a second batting point. If I was Notts, I'd definitely try and get to 300 8 down and then declare.... back Fletch to grab another hatful

[Durhamfootman]

Rushy strikes 2nd delivery with the new ball. 255-7

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bounce Broad out and might be all out for under 300.

It's 2 for each no ball isn't it? So 5nb, 6 now. All called by Umpire Pratt whilst I was watching. Would be quite a different story if P-W had been given. We've bowled with discipline but once again shown how 1 dimensional our attack is.
Borthwick wouldn't get his place in a NEPL side on this evidence.

Even if the weather doesn't intervene we'll surely struggle to win this now. Batting looks a bit flimsy. I think we might have been out of our depth in div 1 in any case!

Totally agree,it's the lack of depth. Replace Dickson, Burnham and Salisbury with Lees, Carse and Trevaskis and we can compete with anyone but we lack cover for withdrawals.

Yes. As you said after the T20 on Friday, there's not enough depth in the squad.

[Durhamfootman]

Trevaskis wouldn't make any difference. Okay for T20. We need to get our hands on a quality spinner.... I've been saying it tediously for years, but no-one's listening. If only we could have 2 overseas pro's, then we would be able to solve this conundrum

[Durhamfootman]

We are going to miss Lees tomorrow

Axar Patel proved that argument comprehensively but probably at the expense of our batting. I wouldn't write Trevaskis off yet,there are a number of English spinners who have proved themselves this year

[Durhamfootman]

Raining persistently this morning. Dark too

[westoelad]

Derbyshire v Essex abandoned because of a covid case.
Guarantees Essex go into division 2 and given the state of our game and the weather forecast we're almost guaranteed to join them.

Yes. No sign of the rain stopping.

Having said that , it looks a bit brighter and there's a 2.45pm inspection.
