CC 1993: DURHAM v NOTTINGHAMSHIRE (4 days)
Chester-le-Street, 31 Aug, 01, 02 Sep 1993

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE WON BY AN INNINGS AND 157 RUNS

Durham`s fifth defeat of the season was completed  on  the  third
day  when  they  susided woefully against the bowling of Pennett,
whose 5 for 36 was the third career-best performance of the match
by   a  Nottinghamshire  player.  The  most spectacular came from
Lewis, who stroked the ball to all parts of the  ground  to  make
247,  and  shared  a  stand  of  301  - the ninth-highest for the
seventh wicket ever - with French, who made his own  best  score,
123. Johnson led the remarkable recovery from four for two in the
second over in pugnacious style; Nottinghamshire scored 508  runs
on   the  second  day against  increasingly  wayward  bowling and
slipshod fielding.   Lewis  continued  the  punishment   on   the
third morning before being last out, caught at the cover boundary
after hitting 35 4s and 2 6s off 371 balls. It  was  the  highest
innings  of  the  season,  and  Nottinghamshire`s 629 the biggest
Championship total.
