<\/p>\nMatt Fisher’s fifth career five-wicket haul put Surrey on top on day one of their top-of-the-table Division One clash with Nottinghamshire, the only Rothesay County Championship fixture to get under way on a weather-hit day.<\/p>\n
Fisher took 5-61, including the key wickets of Ben Slater and Freddie McCann, as the visitors were bowled out for 231 at the Kia Oval.<\/p>\n
After the early fall of Nottinghamshire skipper Haseeb Hameed, Slater and McCann moved the visitors on to 89-1 before Fisher removed their pair of them in the space of a few overs.<\/p>\n
After Gus Atkinson ripped through the middle order, finishing with 4-41, Fisher returned to mop up the tail by taking the last three wickets of the innings.<\/p>\n

Surrey reached 43-1 before the close, with Dom Sibley out for 14 in the penultimate over of the day.<\/p>\n
No play was possible in any of the other eight fixtures as rain and strong winds swept across much of the country.<\/p>\n
