The Toss: Nottinghamshire Welcome Somerset To Trent Bridge Looking To Extend Their Lead At The Summit

Its back to red-ball cricket for the table-toppers at Trent bridge but its awfully tight in the league with just 12 points separating the sides. Can Notts pick-up where they left off and keep their noses in front in what could be a barnstorming remainder of the season in the County Championship?

Nottinghamshire return to Rothesay County Championship action on Friday as Somerset make the trip to Trent Bridge for what looks one of the standout fixtures of the round.

Peter Moores' side head into the contest sitting top of Division One after a superb start to the campaign that has seen them establish themselves as genuine title contenders again. However, despite occupying first place, there is little room for complacency with Somerset currently sixth but only 12 points behind the leaders in an incredibly congested table.

Nottinghamshire's consistency has been one of the biggest reasons for their impressive position. The batting order has regularly delivered substantial contributions, whilst the bowling attack continues to take wickets throughout matches rather than relying on one individual to produce moments of brilliance.
