A good crowd for a One Day Cup match Nottinghamshire welcomed Surrey to Welbeck Cricket Club for a Royal London One Day Cup match, beat the young visitors very easily and somewhat surprisingly qualified for the quarter finals of the competition. At the drinks break half way through the Surrey innings the scoreboard showed them on 103 for 6, a partial recovery from an unpromising 36 for 5. Surrey 181, Notts 182 for 2.

Nottinghamshire v Surrey at Welbeck CC In the first over of the contest Nottinghamshire's Toby Pettman (a pace bowler with an Oxford Classics degree) bowled to the Surrey captain Ben Geddes. Pettman bowled well and took 4 for 44 as a very inexperienced Surrey side was hustled out for only 181. Notts reached 182 for 2 with no difficulty and all but a few of a good crowd went home happy.
