Nottinghamshire's Second XI wrapped up a 49-run win over Warwickshire on the final day of proceedings at Lady Bay. 

Warwickshire started the day on 33-2 in pursuit of 230 runs for victory with Dan Mousley (5*) and Seb Mead (3*) at the crease.

With Warwickshire 114-5, Notts sensed an oppotunity to seize control of the contest, claiming two wickets in quick succession before the lunch break, thanks to Ali and Coughlin once more.

The away side stemmed the tide with a 34-run partnership for the eighth wicket, but Joey Evison's removal of George Panayi and Jake Lintott, both for 14, all-but ended the contest.
