Nottinghamshire are within reach of their first County Championship title since 2010 after bowling out Warwickshire for 258 on the opening day at Trent Bridge. With Brett Hutton (4 for 46) and Mohammad Abbas (3 for 33) leading the charge, Nottinghamshire claimed maximum bowling points to edge closer to sealing the crown.
Title Within Nottinghamshireβs Grasp
Following their win over Surrey last week, Nottinghamshire needed 10 points to clinch the title. With Surrey also failing to secure batting bonus points in their clash against Hampshire, the equation is now simple.

Dan Mousley stood out for Warwickshire, grinding out 74 to rescue his side from 127 for 5. He added 117 runs for the sixth wicket with Ed Barnard, who scored 48. Despite their fight, Warwickshire couldnβt prevent Nottinghamshireβs bowlers from dominating.
Bowling Depth Makes the Difference
Nottinghamshireβs bowling depth was on display, with Abbas slotting in seamlessly after Josh Tongue was rested. The bowlers struck regularly, dismissing Warwickshireβs key batters including Rob Yates, Sam Hain, and Will Young.
