After ripping the bowling attack to shreds, Musheer was the ace with the ball as well as he tore into the Notts’ batting line-up with 6-38.
After right-arm pacer Himanshu Singh sent back opener Ben Martindale, Musheer got to work by sending back Ollie Stone for a paltry five runs.
MCA Colts captain and Musheer’s Punjab Kings team mate Suryansh Shedge then got into the act with the wickets of Dane Schadendorf and Sammy King as Notts were reduced to 84/5 by the 21st over.
MCA Colts close in on innings victory
Bryan Hatton (75 off 53 balls) and Ishy Mohammed (30 off 48 balls) led a recovery by adding 89 for the sixth wicket when Musheer broke the lower order.
He first sent back Hatton with a return catch and then got the better of Mohammed. The wickets of Ja Pocklington (15), Rob Lord (4) and Tom Giles (0) followed as Notts went from 173/6 to 201 all out.
As a result, the home team were asked to follow-on and were hobbling at 79/2 in the second innings. They still have a deficit of over 150 runs to avoid an innings defeat.
The MCA Colts are set to tour England until July 23.
