In their Rothesay County Championship clash at Trent Bridge, Warwickshire posted a solid total of 375 for 8 against Nottinghamshire, thanks to a remarkable fightback led by Ed Barnard, who finished the day unbeaten on 134. After a rocky start, where they found themselves at 97 for 4, Barnard and Chris Woakes (scoring 64) formed a pivotal seventh-wicket partnership of 116 runs. Nottinghamshire's Josh Tongue made a significant impact by taking 5 wickets for 91 runs, marking his fourth five-wicket haul in just eight first-class matches. The match began with Nottinghamshire taking early control, but Barnard's aggressive batting, including 15 fours and a six, helped stabilize Warwickshire's innings. Despite Tongue's efforts, Warwickshire's resilience allowed them to end the day on a high note, setting a competitive total against the defending champions.
