Rain affected the start of Tuesday's round of County Championship matches, with no play possible in four of the day's six scheduled fixtures.

Day one of the eagerly-awaited top-of-the-table Division One clash between Durham and Nottinghamshire was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

It was the same story at Old Trafford, where the match between Lancashire and Yorkshire was washed out.

In Division Two, Glamorgan-Gloucs and Warwickshire-Essex were abandoned.
