Haseeb Hameed passed 9,000 First-Class career runs, but Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire managed only 10.3 overs of play on a frustrating first day of their Rothesay County Championship Division One match at Trent Bridge.
The Notts captain, who is 29 and has already scored 20 First-Class centuries, reached the landmark with a clipped single to fine leg. He finished the day unbeaten on 32 from 40 balls, with six boundaries, as the hosts reached 42 without loss.
Leicestershire captain Ian Holland won the toss and chose to bowl. Hameed, born in Bolton, needed only one over to reach the milestone, cutting the first ball of the match through point for four.
That was the highlight of the first six hours. Rain delayed the start until 13:30, then another shower stopped play for three more hours. Play resumed at 16:25, but low light ended the day at 17:30.
The forecast is brighter for the remaining three days, raising hopes for more action.
