Andrew Gale
“All throughout the match, we’ve been inconsistent.
“We’ve shown good spells with the ball and then let them off the hook. We just haven’t built any pressure.
“Yesterday and today with the bat, we got a partnership together and then lost a wicket.
“We can still get something out of the game.
“There’s no doubt it’s going to be tough because they have a good bowling attack. But we’re up to the task.”
Gale also said Joe Root is fine after being struck on the left hand late in the day.

Lunch Yorkshire conceded a first-innings lead of 117 during the third morning of their Specsavers County Championship clash with Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.
The White Rose fell from 206-5 overnight to 291 all out, with Samit Patel’s left-arm spinners accounting for Joe Root, Matthew Waite and Steve Patterson all caught at slip.
Root fell for 73 as he shimmied down the pitch and tried to loft Patel over long-on.
Either side of those wickets, Luke Fletcher bowled Jonny Tattersall and Stuart Broad wrapped up the innings 25 minutes before lunch when he had Duanne Olivier caught behind.
Yorkshire were eight down when they reached the follow-on target of 259 before Ben Coad added a useful and important unbeaten 26, including a pair of sixes over cover against Patel in as many balls.
Play has taken place under the Trent Bridge floodlights all morning.
Coad then struck at the start of the third over of the Notts second innings, getting Ben Slater caught at slip (6-1).
The hosts will begin the afternoon on 17-1, leading by 134.

11.55am Root goes, caught at slip off Samit Patel. He’ll be furious with himself after trying to launch the left-arm spinner over the top. Falls for 73. Yorkshire 249-7.
11.18am Luke Fletcher makes the breakthrough for Notts…..Jonny Tattersall is bowled having driven the previous ball down the ground. In trying to play a similar shot, he’s bowled, and Yorkshire are 215-6.

Good morning from Trent Bridge, where it is a dry but overcast start to the day. I would say we’d just about be ok to start on time with the light as it is at the moment.
Yorkshire, replying to 408, will resume on 206-5, with Joe Root unbeaten on 56 and Jonny Tattersall in the infancy of his innings.
The White Rose’s first target this morning is 259 to avoid the follow-on, something which shouldn’t be an issue achieving.
Yesterday’s second day was pretty even in the end, with Notts hitting back late on with two wickets in five balls after Yorkshire had been well placed at 194-3.
Notts started the day on 324-5 and would have been hoping for more than 408, but Duanne Olivier and Steve Patterson restricted them impressively.
Let’s hope it’s a run-filled morning. We start at 11am.
