REACTION – Steve Patterson
“It’s been very pleasing. It’s been an interesting few days.
“After 40-4 on the first day, we were in a precarious position. But the way Harry Brook played initially to help get us back to some kind of score with Jonny Tatts was impressive. Then the way Tommo played at the end was fantastic.
“We ended up getting 50 more than we expected to get.
“We knew with a young attack it would be hard work against an experienced Notts team. But we chipped away hard in that first innings.
“We were a little bit disappointed with the end. The way Tom Moores played meant they got 40 or 50 more than we felt they should.
“A 90 odd-run deficit going into the second innings was going to be tough, especially when we lost Tom second over.
“But Lythy and Jonny showed their experience and quality to put us back into some kind of position. Then Tatts with Brooky and Tommo got us up to a score we felt gave us a chance. That was all it was initially.
“But we stuck hard at the task. They played it a bit differently to how we expected, and we ran out winners by 90 runs.
“I believe Notts are one of the strongest sides in our group in terms of experience and ability. But they are a team who haven’t won for a while. Sometimes when that happens, you almost forget how to win.
“I felt there was a little element of that in the fourth innings.
“It wasn’t a huge chase, but the fact we put that pressure on and got a couple of early ones got us on top.
“It was a little bit surprising how it went at the end. We thought it was going to be a long slog and might get down to the last 20 runs. But for it to happen the way it did, we’re delighted.”

Good morning from Trent Bridge, where we are greeted by hazy sunshine ahead of the fourth and final day of our clash with Nottinghamshire. And we could be in for one heck of a day’s play.
All results remain possible, with Yorkshire currently leading by 168 with three second-innings wickets in hand.
If they can push that lead up to around 220 – Jonny Tattersall is currently 41 not out and Duanne Olivier eight – then Yorkshire’s chances of a second successive North Group win would seem to be strong.
There has been talk of a bit of rain around today, so hopefully that doesn’t come to pass.
You can watch all of today’s action unfold on the live-stream on our match centre.
We will be underway at 11am. Enjoy the day.
