Nottinghamshire beaten by Yorkshire after being bowled out for 97

Set a victory target of 188 the home county were dismissed for just 97 in only 29.2 overs, with Ben Duckett’s 19 being the top score of the innings. Jordan Thompson, who enjoyed a fine match throughout, ran through the lower order to finish with three for six, after Duanne Olivier had set the White Rose on their way with three for 29.

Earlier, Yorkshire were dismissed for 278 in their second innings, with Jonny Tattersall being the last to be dismissed after making 53 from 180 deliveries.

Resuming on 259 for seven at the start of the day, the visitors could only muster a further 19 runs before the loss of their last three wickets. Zak Chappell had Olivier caught behind for eight to finish with four for 59. Matt Carter then removed Dominic Leech, for one, as well as Tattersall, to collect figures of four for 76.

Steven Mullaney, the Nottinghamshire captain, was involved in each of the last two wickets to go down, giving him four catches in the innings and seven in the match, tying the county record of Arthur Jones in 1908 and Bill Voce in 1928.

Both home openers departed cheaply at the start of the run chase, with Chris Nash seemingly taken aback at being given out lbw to Olivier for 11, with the ball appearing to be missing leg.

Haseeb Hameed then casually flicked at a leg side delivery from Leech and was smartly taken by Jonny Bairstow for one.

Olivier struck again in the final over of the morning session, having Ben Duckett spectacularly caught in the gully by Dawid Malan for 19, after extracting sharp bounce which kissed the shoulder of the bat.

The afternoon became a steady procession of wickets as Notts slipped from 46 for two to 97 all out inside 17 overs. Olivier athletically took a low catch from his own bowling to remove Joe Clarke for 18 and one over later Mullaney fell to Patterson for five.

Thompson, who scored 98 on the opening day, replaced Olivier from the Pavilion End and immediately splayed the stumps of Tom Moores, who had scored 106 in the first innings.

Thompson also sent back Chappell and Carter, leaving Jack Shutt to have the final say. The young off-spinner had broken his duck in getting Peter Trego for a maiden first class wicket and he followed it up by having Samit Patel caught at midwicket to herald the start of the celebrations.

Yorkshire take 21 points from the contest and move to the top of the North Group with the victory, having won both of their opening games.

Nottinghamshire, meanwhile, remain winless since defeating Essex in June 2018, having not won any of their last 24 first class contests.

The next round of matches starts on Saturday, with Notts facing Lancashire at Trent Bridge and Yorkshire hosting Derbyshire in Leeds.
