Essex reached 457? That seems like a very respectable score to have.

That said, I don't know what games are usually won by but from the limited knowledge I do have. It does seem a comfortable amount to have in a cricket game.

@Chris it is a good score & if the weather holds Notts will have to bat well to avoid defeat in this one 

Notts are in a transitional stage I would say at the moment. Stuart Broad retired & he has definitely been missed this season.

Notts have also lost bowler Stone to England duty & also Ben Duckett, their opening batter..

Notts have some players playing from the second eleven for this match too, so the team is a little weakened due to absences & injuries.

It's important Notts avoid defeat as they are third from bottom & the bottom two get relegated to division 2.
