Nottinghamshire v Hampshire Men
Rothesay County Championship
Friday 9th-Monday 12th May (11am start)
Trent Bridge
Hampshire Men travel to Trent Bridge as they face Nottinghamshire in the latest round of the Rothesay County Championship Division One.
Ben Brown’s side secured a draw at Utilita Bowl against Durham, where the skipper made his third-highest First-Class score of 162 with fifties from Mark Stoneman, Nick Gubbins, and Felix Organ ensuring the points were shared.
Liam Dawson was the pick of the bowlers as he claimed his 15th First-Class five-for bowling 48 overs in a match which was dominated by the batters.
Nottinghamshire had a week off from red ball action last week, but convincingly beat Sussex by nine wickets in their previous fixture.
They will be aided by the arrival of former Hampshire overseas Mohammad Abbas as he will play his first of six games for the east Midlands outfit.
