FULL-TIME:
Two tries in the last 10 minutes from Nottingham make it a nervy end to the match for Worcester Warriors, but the hosts hang on to claim a bonus-point victory.
Tries from Marcel Garvey (2), Miles Benjamin, Aleki Lutui and Graham Kitchener secured a maximum five-point haul for Richard Hill's men, but there is still plenty for them to work on.

HALF-TIME..
WARRIORS lead Nottingham by three tries to one at the interval.
Graham Kitchener opened the scoring for the hosts, but Steve Hamilton immediately pulled a try back.
However, scores from Aleki Lutui and Marcel Garvey have edged Worcester into a comfortable lead.
IT'S Friday night and Worcester Warriors are in Championship action under the lights once again - hopefully this week is better than last!
Nottingham are the visitors to Sixways tonight for an 8pm kick-off as Worcester look to bounce back from the 23-21 defeat to Cornish Pirates seven days ago.
Clicking on the link above takes you to my Twitter page where I'll be doing my best to keep you up to date with the action.
For Warriors, Joe Carlisle starts at full-back, while Alex Crockett returns to the centres with Tom Arscott and Andy Short dropping to the bench.
In the pack, Craig Gillies and Kai Horstmann make way for Greg Rawlinson and James Collins respectiveley.
Nottingham director of rugby Glenn Delaney is without the Championship's top-scorer, James Arlidge, who is on international duty with Japan.
The fly-half is replaced by academy graduate Dave Marshall, who impressed Delaney most recently during a 20-minute spell in the Bristol clash.
Neil Fowkes and Tim Usasz return to the side to add a greater level of experience after both players were ruled out of the last few games with shoulder injuries, while Ben Johnston, who missed the opening of the season through injury, has once again been ruled out of contention for tonight’s clash.
Here are the teams as they have been announced, if there are any late changes, I'll post them on Twitter.
WORCESTER WARRIORS:
Carlisle; Garvey, Crockett, Rasmussen, Benjamin; Goode, Arr; C Black, Lutui, Taumoepeau, Rawlinson, Kitchener, Best, Collins, Balding. Replacements: Shervington, Tomaszczyk, Gillies, Horstmann, Williams, Short, Arscott.
NOTTINGHAM
Jackson; Cobden, Streather, Hamilton, Blake; Marshall, Usasz; Fowlkes, Youngs, Buxton, Green, Hemmingway, Hammond, Sheriff, Shaw.
Replacements: Barnham, Bradford, Eggleshaw, Baird, Farrell, Davies, Kench.
