Cricket latest: Rain brings early end to 250th Roses match

PLAY on the final day of the 250th Roses encounter was finally abandoned for the day without a ball being bowled at 4pm.

The abandonment meant Yorkshire's hopes of claiming an extra batting bonus point were frustrated, allowing Nottinghamshire to move to the top of the County Championship by virtue of having won more games than the Tykes.

Both counties have 103 points, though Notts have two games in hand.
