It was nip and tuck from the off but Yorkshire are now in pole position to win following an impressive first-innings bowling display and Gary Ballance’s unbeaten 76 in the second. Nottinghamshire gained the upper hand early, reducing Yorkshire to 93 for five before lunch on day one, only to lose their grip. Che Pujara was run out and Adam Lyth caught behind down the leg side, pulling at Luke Wood’s left-arm seam. Here he hurtled down the track towards the striker Lyth, who had dropped a ball from Harry Gurney at his feet. But then came another intervention by Worcestershire’s irrepressible Ed Barnard, who has had a brilliant match with 10 wickets and a half-century.
