Nottinghamshire struck two early blows against Warwickshire before rain wiped out the bulk of the opening day of their County Championship Division One match at Edgbaston.

Play started on time but just 9.2 overs were possible before the rain arrived with the home side on 34-2 having been put in.

Having chosen to bowl, Nottinghamshire removed both opening batters in the first five overs.

Rob Yates fell to the second ball of the match and Alex Davies to the 27th, Brett Hutton inflicting the damage with similar deliveries, rapid in-duckers which trapped the batter half-forward to win an lbw decision.

Hamza Shaikh and Sam Hain, the latter looking in excellent nick, avoided further mishap before the rain arrived.

It was a frustrating day for both teams who are keen to build on the momentum of a strong start to the season, each having secured a win and a draw from their first two games.

Both have made one change to their team. Olly Hannon-Dalby, having recovered from a quad injury, returns in place of Tazeem Ali for Warwickshire. Nottinghamshire’s switch is in the pace attack where Josh Tongue replaces the injured Dillon Pennington.
