NOT­TING­HAM–West In­dies fast bowler Ravi Ram­paul made an im­pres­sive de­but for Sur­rey here Sun­day, snatch­ing a five-wick­et haul against Not­ting­hamshire on the open­ing day of the new Eng­lish Coun­ty sea­son.The 31-year-old, who re­cent­ly signed a two-year deal with the Lon­don club, fin­ished with five for 93 as the hosts were dis­missed for 446 at Trent Bridge.

Sur­rey were sev­en with­out loss in re­ply at the close.Open­er Steven Mul­laney top-scored with a breezy 113 from 114 de­liv­er­ies with 18 bound­aries while Samit Pa­tel (85), Ri­ki Wes­sels (81) and Chris Read (63 not out), all chipped in with half-cen­turies.

Mul­laney put on 56 for the third wick­et with Bren­dan Tay­lor (20) and added a fur­ther 54 for the fourth wick­et with Wes­sels.

Ram­paul, play­ing his first first class match in three years, claimed Mul­laney to a catch at the wick­et off the in­side edge at 201 for four and then ac­count­ed for Wes­sels to an­oth­er catch at the wick­et, af­ter the right-han­der had put on 107 for the fifth wick­et with Pa­tel.

Pa­tel and Read added 93 for the sixth wick­et but once the stand was bro­ken, Notts lost their last five wick­ets for 45 runs with Ram­paul tak­ing three of the wick­ets to fall.At the Rose Bowl in Southamp­ton, left-arm seam­er Kei­th Bark­er grabbed five wick­ets to help War­wick­shire re­strict Hamp­shire to 189 for eight.

The 29-year-old Bark­er is el­i­gi­ble to rep­re­sent West In­dies through his fa­ther–al­so named Kei­th Bark­er–who played two first class match­es for Guyana.
