Yorkshire’s seam attack restricted Nottinghamshire to 242-9 on the opening day at Trent Bridge, slowing the hosts’ progress after a promising recovery. Nottinghamshire’s hopes of retaining the County Championship title were already slim, and the late collapse further weakened their chances, while Yorkshire continued their bid for a third consecutive victory.

Nottinghamshire fell to 64-3 before Haseeb Hameed’s 71 and Jack Haynes’ 48 added 108 for the fourth wicket. Yorkshire then took five wickets in the final session, including four in the last 11 overs, with Ben Cliff claiming 4-39 and Ben Coad 2-42; Lyndon James contributed 51 in a later partnership.
