Fourteen conifers
Match drawn after rain and bad light stopped play with Nottinghamshire 376 for 6 (77.2 overs). Read 15, Ealham 14. 11 points each.
Brown was run out for 64 by a direct hit by Ambrose. Wagh (147, 161 balls, 19 fours, three sixes) bottom-edged a pull at Carter and was caught behind.
There are 14 lovely little conifers growing behind the pavilion, about two feet tall, all green and lovely and getting established by the front wall.
They'll have a battle on their hands when the piledrivers and bulldozers arrive in January.
Actually, although the pavilion is obviously ramshackle and partly a ruin, there are plenty of bits and pieces around that end of the ground that are nice and precious and historically important. Hope everything is handled with care.

I doubt it bulldozers have NO heart.
Another draw then. And more leather-chasing. Don't think Warks can stay up with this bowling attack. The batsmen can't do it every time.
Question for Brian- was Stef Piolet's 10-43 at Durham UCCE the best match performance by a player on first-class debut for the Bears?
Hi Red - yes, with a slight caveat.
His 10 for 43 comfortably betters the 10 for 145 by Jim Whitehead for Warwickshire against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge in 1894, which was the best by a player making his first-class debut for the Bears.
Heath Streak took 13 for 158 on his first first-class appearance for Warwickshire, against Northamptonshire at Edgbaston in 2004, but while it was his first-class debut for the Bears he had, of course, played plenty of first-class cricket elsewhere before that.
