Rain frustrates Notts and Warwickshire
John Sheldon - 2 August 2001

Usman Afzaal, omitted from the England side earlier in the day, suffered further misfortune when he was marooned on 40 not out as Nottinghamshire's National League game against Warwickshire at Edgbaston was washed out by persistent showers.

A two-hour delay in the start meant that the game had already been reduced to 30-overs a side when Notts opted to bat after winning the toss and it was Warwickshire whose hopes of closing on the First Division leaders perked up when seamer Charlie Dagnall got rid of both openers, Darren Bicknell and Jason Gallian, in his first two overs.

Darren Bicknell was undone by some extra bounce and Gallian, making his first appearance of a season blighted by a knee injury, was beaten by one that moved away sharply to prompt a diving catch from wicketkeeper Keith Piper.

Both sides needed victory to maintain their outside chance of challenging for the title and Notts' claim improved sharply when Afzaal and Greg Blewett got going in a stand which added 82 in 14 overs.

Blewett was badly missed at mid-wicket off Neil Smith before falling for 44 from 55 balls, including six fours, as Dougie Brown held a superb tumbling catch on the long-on boundary, but Afzaal continued to shore up the innings.

Notts were 105-3 when rain made its terminal intervention.
