Australian seamer Jackson Bird has snared four wickets on his Nottinghamshire bow as Surrey were made to follow-on during the second day of their County Championship match at Trent Bridge.
Bird returned figures of 4-56 as the visitors were dismissed for 225 in 67.1 overs in response to Nottinghamshire amassing 446 on the opening day of the Division One encounter.
When bad light and steady drizzle brought an early finish newly-promoted Surrey had reached 0-14 in their second innings, still 207 runs behind.
Bird removed both Surrey openers, getting Rory Burns caught behind for eight, before going round the wicket to snare Arun Harinath for 23.
Following a stoppage for bad light, Bird picked up two lbw decisions with consecutive deliveries to speed up Surrey's first innings collapse.
Firstly Ravi Rampaul was sent on his way after not playing a shot and then Tom Curran, who had battled his way to 35, was dismissed after playing around a full, swinging delivery.
With the floodlights doing their best to mask the gloomy overhead conditions Surrey's openers were sent out for a second time and Burns and Harinath managed to keep their wickets intact until the early closure, with 18 overs lost to the weather.
