Ground staff at work and Sussex and Nottinghamshire players limbering up before the start of play on the first day of a County Championship match, against a background of the block of flats at the Cromwell Road End. In the foreground is the Nottinghamshire and England player Samit Patel, who had a lot of work ahead of him, scoring a wonderful 157 in Notts' first innings and bowling thirty consecutive overs during Sussex's second innings. The visitors had the better of an absorbing draw.
