Celebrate Nottinghamshire!
That’s the advice from Councillor John Allin, the Chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council when visiting the Test Match today.
“The county has so much to offer visitors,” he told us. “There is Sherwood forest, the Robin Hood festival, Rufford Park, Wollaton Park (where the latest Batman movie was filmed) and Nottingham Castle. Anyone visiting the area should try to get to one of these.”
He added “Hosting the Ashes here means so much for the local economy. All the local restaurants, bars and hotels are full. I’m enjoying my day here at the cricket, and I hope all our visitors are as well”.
Day Three Live: Controversy Finds Agar Again
A day after his swashbuckling 98, in which he looked to have been stumped for 6, controversy found youngster Ashton Agar again.

Broad remains on 40 whilst Bell has made his way to 85.
