Rew & Abell in record-breaking stand on day one at Trent Bridge
Rothesay County Championship, day one: Somerset 338-4, Nottinghamshire yet to bat Centuries from James Rew and Tom Abell in a county record partnership enabled Somerset to take an opening-day advantage over Nottinghamshire in the clash between second and third in Division One of the Rothesay County Championship, closing on 338 for four, writes Jon Culley, ECB Reporters' Network. Rew (162 not out) and Abell, who fell for a career-best 156 moments before the close, added 313 in 81 overs, overtaking the 310 shared by Peter Denning and Ian Botham against Gloucestershire at Taunton in 1980 as Somerset's biggest fourth-wicket stand. It was all the more impressive for Somerset having been two wickets down in three overs without a run on the board when Rew walked to the crease, and 25 for three when he was joined by Abell. Pakistan seamer Mohammad Abbas - who reached the milestone of 800 first-class victims - took all three wickets in a difficult first hour for the visitors after losing the toss but they were the only successes for the Nottinghamshire attack until the final minutes of the day. Rew earned a call-up to the England squad for the one-off Test against Zimbabwe in May after two centuries in the first month of the season. The 21-year-old did not make the cut on that occasion but senior international recognition must surely come in began this round of matches - the 11th of 14 - a point behind leaders and defending champions Surrey, with Somerset third after their victory over Durham last week. Somerset's painful beginning to the day saw Abbas remove Lewis Gregory and Tom Lammonby in his first and second overs, the captain leg before offering no shot to a delivery he clearly judged would slide harmlessly past his off stump before Lammonby, with only defensive intent, nicked to second slip. Under heavy cloud cover after a damp early morning, conditions looked ideal for the veteran Abbas. Haseeb Hameed, the Nottinghamshire captain, duly gave him an extended spell while the Kookaburra ball retained its hardness. He was rewarded again, finding the outside edge of Josh Davey's straight bat. With this dismissal, Abbas totalled 800 first-class wickets, 284 of them in the English county were in some trouble, but Rew had already shown a glimpse of his class when he drove Abbas to the cover boundary and pulled him for four in the same over with two high-quality strokes. More would batting became easier, Abell began to look as assured as his partner, the two adding 65 in what remained of the opening session, which proved to be a platform from which they dominated the afternoon. Rew, who reached 51 from 75 balls with his first scoring shot of the afternoon, lofting left-arm spinner Liam Patterson-White clear of the straight boundary in front of the currently shrouded pavilion, went to a century - his third of the season - from 138, adding two more sixes to the shorter side of the playing area off Calvin Harrison, the leg spinner. Other than an edge off Patterson-White on 92, the ball looping out of even the tall Harrison's reach at slip, he had looked in complete control. By tea, Abell having completed his first hundred of the year, Somerset had added 137 for no loss to be 227 for three and Nottinghamshire, though there had been signs of turn, needed some inspiration. Thereafter, Rew's touch seemed a little less sure, both batters comparatively quiet as the Nottinghamshire spinners gained some control. They attacked the second new ball with some success, although Rew, cutting vigorously, survived a half-chance to second slip off Brett Hutton on 148 before going to 150 from 239 balls. Abell in turn reached 151 from 245 balls, setting the partnership record with two into the offside off Dillon Pennington, before falling to a top-edged pull off the same bowler, after which only two more deliveries were possible before failing light forced the players off 15 balls before the scheduled close.

Holo unveils services to make buying property in the UAE a seamless process
Holo, a homegrown digital mortgage platform, has introduced a suite of services aimed at easing the property purchase process in the UAE. The company's new offering focuses on helping both residents and international investors navigate the real estate landscape with greater clarity and fewer obstacles. This development comes at a time when foreign interest in the UAE real estate continues to rise. In 2025, both Dubai and Abu Dhabi witnessed stable demand across commercial and residential categories. According to property experts, areas offering long-term prospects and solid infrastructure are drawing the most attention. Ayesha Khan, a senior analyst with a regional research firm, observed that 'investors are prioritising connectivity and consistent yield. These factors are shaping buying decisions far more than before.' Infrastructure improvements have also been a key contributor. Expansions to the metro and the introduction of integrated urban districts are influencing where investors place their money. Mohammad Abbas, a consultant based in Dubai, remarked: 'Planned communities and green zones point to long-term viability, not just quick gains.' Holo's service aims to assist buyers in understanding regulations, working with certified mortgage brokers, and managing application procedures. Rajat Mehta, the company's managing director, said: 'While tax neutrality remains a strong pull, legal assurance and transparency are becoming just as crucial.' Current data shows that rental yields in prime areas range between 6 per cent and 8 per cent, depending on asset type and location. Short-term lets continue to perform well, with demand coming from professionals and new residents alike. Recent legal reforms have widened foreign ownership rights in designated zones, often linked to long-term residency options. These policies are gradually shifting investor behaviour, encouraging longer holding periods and strategic planning. Industry professionals recommend that buyers stay informed about financing laws and work with licensed advisors. Despite improved access, conducting proper legal and financial checks remains essential.
