Yuzvendra Chahal and Aron Nijjar scalped three wickets each, alongside two wickets picked by Michael Hogan.

Skipper Steven Mullaney and middle-order batter Joe Clarke scored the half-centuries for Notts and played the knocks of 86 and 62 runs, respectively. At the time of stumps on the second day, Nottinghamshire had scored 219 runs for the loss of 8 wickets, having their lower-order batters Brett Hutton and Dane Paterson there in the middle.
