Rain limits play at Trent Bridge between Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire
Summary

Rain disrupted the opening day of the Rothesay County Championship match between Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire at Trent Bridge. Nottinghamshire reached 42-0 in 10.3 overs before fading light forced an early end to proceedings. Captain Haseeb Hameed, who remains unbeaten on 32, surpassed 9,000 first-class career runs during the limited action. Leicestershire captain Ian Holland won the toss and elected to bowl on a green-tinged surface, but the teams were unable to complete a full day of play. The forecast for day two is improved, and both sides look to resume the match to impact their positions in the Division One standings.
