Jake Libby hit 108 on his championship and county debut as Nottinghamshire's revival continued against Sussex at Trent Bridge today.

The hosts must win to have any chance of pipping Warwickshire to second place behind champions Yorkshire - and after finally bowling Sussex out for 391, Devon-born Cardiff University graduate Libby, 21, put them on a sound footing.

Alex Hales (57) and James Taylor (101 not out) shared stands of 97 and 181 with Libby - who reached his maiden first-class century with his 15th four from 247 balls, in a stumps total of 310-3.

Steve Magoffin took 2-41 as Notts closed on Sussex's total.
