James Hayes and Farhan Ahmed claimed two wickets apiece as Nottinghamshire 2nd XI worked hard to check Warwickshire’s progress on Day One at Lady Bay.

Seamer Hayes led the way with 2/57, with spinner Ahmed’s 2/61 backing him up, as the Bears closed a truncated first day - owing to rain and bad light at the end - on 353-7.

Vaansh Jani stood out with the bat by striking 135 before falling to Saif Ali, while Craig Miles hit a swift unbeaten 53 at the end of the day.

Raheem Ahmed and Sammy King picked up the other scalps to fall, while Brett Hutton, as well as taking a catch, enjoyed an economical seven-over spell to complement the attack.
