THE PREDICTION
Providing Nottinghamshire avoid defeat away at Durham then their place in Division One in September is assured. The hosts meanwhile, will likely need to win if they are to stand a chance of finishing in the top two. However, following the recent raft of England callups following a Covid-19 outbreak within the first team, Durham will be missing two key players in fast bowler Brydon Carse and all-rounder Ben Stokes, who returns to the international setup after playing for Durham as part of his injury recovery. Whilst Nottinghamshire will be without Ben Duckett, his absence shouldn’t prevent them picking up another red ball victory providing the rain doesn’t take too much time out of the game.
