Warwickshire was on 24 for 2 at stumps, trailing by 249 runs.

 

He may have failed with the bat, but he took an expert, diving catch while fielding at midwicket during Nottinghamshire's innings to dismiss Steven Mullaney for 31 off the bowling of Will Rhodes.

Mullaney flicked Rhodes and Vihari leaped to his right and caught the ball with his right hand.

Warwickshire suffered a blow earlier in the day when England batsman Dom Sibley injured his finger while fielding in the slips and left the field for a check-up.

Vihari bowled an over as well, going for 11 runs.
