Matt Milnes was the pick of the Nottinghamshire bowlers on a rain-affected opening day of the Seconds' Championship fixture against Lancashire at Lady Bay.

Milnes, who was recently named in the first team squad for the first time for the match against Derbyshire, returned figures of 2-10 from ten overs as Lancashire finished the day on 84-3.

With rain circling all day, only 42 overs were possible in which Rob Jones (42*) stood firm in the face of some testing bowling from the Nottinghamshire attack, which also included Ben Kitt.
