Newman scored 87 in the first innings of his Notts debut against Somerset

Nottinghamshire opener Scott Newman has agreed to extend his loan deal until the end of the season.

Left-hander Newman, 29, initially joined from Surrey on a one-month contract but director of cricket Mick Newell was keen to extend his stay.

"The deal is essentially an extended trial for Scott and we'll monitor his performances until the end of the season," Newell said.

"We were keen to take the opportunity to have a closer look."
