Gary Ballance
“I think we’ve had a pretty good day, apart from that partnership early on from them.
“But we took those last three wickets and then applied ourselves well with the bat.
“We played nicely and got ourselves to a decent score with a few wickets left for tomorrow.
“Both Harry and Tom played nicely and spent some time at the crease. Tom’s still there, and hopefully he can kick on tomorrow.
“There probably wasn’t as much movement today. It’s a pretty decent pitch, if a bit slow. It’s taking a bit of turn now. We’ll see how it plays tomorrow, but hopefully we can kick on and get close to their score and get a lead.
“I’m delighted to get a hundred.
“It’s been a tough few weeks, but I felt good out there.
“Hopefully there’s a few more to come.”
5.34pm Close. Yorkshire reach 256-4 from 70 overs, an impressive response to Notts 448. Ballance 104 and unbeaten duo Kohler-Cadmore on 57 and Tattersall on 12.

Tea Report
Gary Ballance posted a 44-ball fifty during the second afternoon at Trent Bridge as Yorkshire respond positively to Nottinghamshire’s 448.
The White Rose have reached tea on day of their eleventh Specsavers County Championship match of the season at 159-3 from 38 overs.
Ballance will begin the evening on 72 and Tom Kohler-Cadmore 12.
Yorkshire started the afternoon on 14-1 before losing Jeet Raval and Harry Brook, the latter for 47. Raval was bowled by Harry Gurney and Brook caught at mid-wicket having dragged the left-arm spin of Samit Patel.
That left Yorkshire at 137-3 in the 28th over of their first innings.
Ballance and Brook had shared 78 for the third wicket to advance from 59-2 upon New Zealander Raval’s departure for 15 on debut.
Ballance has batted fluently, driving particularly well through the covers and down the ground.
3.14pm Incredible goings on down at Taunton, where Somerset are chasing 78 on a turner and are 37-6 against Lancashire. That game is important to Yorkshire given the Red Rose are in the scrap at the bottom.
2.51pm Brook gone! He’s been caught head high at mid-wicket by Wood off Patel’s left-arm spin for 47. Yorkshire 137-3 in the 29th
Ballance’s half-century comes off 44 balls with 11 fours. He’s just added his 12th.

Nottinghamshire were bowled out for 448 shortly before lunch on day two at Trent Bridge before Yorkshire’s reply reached lunch at 14-1 after five overs.
The hosts started the day on 332-7, with Samit Patel and Matt Milnes completing a frustrating eighth-wicket stand of 90. Patel posted 54 and Milnes 43.

Good morning from Trent Bridge, where it is dry and bright. No sign of the sun, but certainly not as overcast as yesterday. Put it this way, I’d be surprised if we start under floodlights like yesterday.
Notts enjoyed the better of day one, but Yorkshire fought back impressive late on, taking four wickets with the new ball to drag themselves back within range.
The hosts, fired by Ben Slater’s century on home debut, will begin day two on 332-7.
Matthew Waite claimed three wickets added to a couple each for Tim Bresnan and Jack Brooks.
