New Nottinghamshire captain Steven Mullaney was forced to wait 24 hours longer than anticipated to begin his tenure as skipper – but when he did, there was much to cheer in the field.
Jake Ball opened the bowling alongside Luke Fletcher, and the pair did arguably their best work in the morning session, conceding only 26 runs between them in the opening hour.
It was a spell of sustained pressure which brought rewards later in the day, Ball helping to clean up the tail to finish with figures of 5/43 as Lancashire were dismissed for 158.
Watch the pick of the action above.
