Ben Slater reflected on a promising day for the home side in an enthralling battle with Essex, remarking that although Notts are in a good position, there's still work to do. The opening batter contributed 67, whilst Captain Haseeb Hameed fell just shy of a century on 92.
Notts ended the day 233-5 with Jack Haynes and Farhan Ahmed to take to the crease in the morning - the former being on 49*.
