Nottinghamshire easily on top Jefferson Dominating Broad early on to dishearten the young seamer. Nottinghamshire must continue to gain maximum batting points.

Day 1 Session 2 UPDATE

Nottinghamshire pressed on without losing a wicket as both openers reached centuries they went in at tea 291-0 Jefferson was the first to reach a hundred

As you can see he very strong through onside and going through the middle
he hit 14 fours to reach his century at a healthy strike rate of nearly 60
Shafayat was the next to reach a century a very patient century in terms of the way jefferson charged on

Bilal was very strong all over the onside but hit only 2 fours on the legside
He looks the most likely to get out a bit suspect to spin as amjad made him play a miss on a number of ocassions

Batting
W. Jefferson 141* from 230 deliveries 19 fours

B.Shafayat 120* from 222 deliveries 16 fours

Bowling
