And Barnard. That's five, which does seem a bit excessive.

Really not a lot Yates, Davies or Shaikh could do about their dismissals but that was poor from Mousley.

You get the feeling we will struggle and then conditions will be a lot better when they come in. It might not be but it's something I really hate about the game, we'll see.

If we get skittled very quickly then we will have the same conditions!

But yeah I think they'll get generally better conditions when batting so we'll have to get runs (and probably to save a draw) in our second innings.

Tomorrow looks like a decent day but Monday looks poor so hopefully we can get some bowling points and a draw, that would definitely do from here as we are not going to get anything for batting.

We may as well go down swinging here and get Notts in whilst the conditions suit bowling

Nobody is going to last for too many shots by the looks of it so just go for it

Mouseley's shot had nowt to do with the pitch, very poor in bad conditions

Feel like Barnard played a poor shot. Hain decision looked harsh.

Terrible batting conditions though, the ball has gone passed the bat loads, particularly from the bowling of Tongue. Good bowling attack this.

Now 93/8. A rash shot from Bamber to get caught behind. Smith needs to try and take most of the strike now. Wicket looks pretty green. As I type smith is caught going for a boundary. Not the best decision. We'll soon be bowling....

We will see if the pitch/conditions are that bad.

93 all out! Fernando bowled first ball.....

And the sun comes out as Notts start their first innings....

Much better overheads now, sunny.

Conditions are not massively different, yes the sun is popping in and out but pitch is still green & offering some movement and overhead conditions are still changeable.

Just typing as Barnard's 1st ball is slammed for 6. We don't have the menace in our attack unless Booth can get some extra zip to defend a poor total.

Notts bowling lines were very good. So far, Bamber has gone too full, too short, too wide & down leg side. Barnard bowled too short in his first.......OHD gets a pass as it is his first game back.

Poor excuse to blame this solely on the weather

Yes they've had the better of conditions but still..

Our bowling is awful, all of them are loose.

Where did this Fernando bloke come from? I reckon he has pinched someone's passport

Conditions are clearly better now but we've bowled poorly. Still finding the odd edge here and there mind...

McCann never looked comfortable, hopefully Vish can get on a roll...

Even if the conditions for batting were worse than ours, it's always a lot easier batting in the 2nd innings. The bowlers know they need wickets but have to not concede runs as well and it isn't just a case of 'Do as the opposition did', Notts know they just have to bat time and 50 overs will give them a good lead. Fernando just keeps the tradition of poor overseas choices that the club make, thank god he is not here all season. Notts might even declare at some point tomorrow as Monday looks poor at the moment.

It would be interesting to know who made the final decision over which overseas players to sign over the past few years.
The lack of quality, and availability, of the players signed suggest that the club was tied into an exclusive contract with one player agency, that was supplying sub standard goods, or the coaching staff failed to properly research the market and just went for a cheap option.
Hopefully Latham & Webster will provide the high quality performances that are required.

There's a lot of loose bowling here. Notts bowlers did have better conditions but used them well by being very consistent with their lines and lengths.

We're offering a boundary ball nearly every over it feels like.
