In fact, we will probably get to the stage after tea where the likes of Fin Bean and Jonny Bairstow have a bowl.

Haseeb Hameed has 21 and Ben Slater 37.

Picture by Jack Bird.

Yorkshire have moved to 458-6 in the 170th over of their reply to 487.

Matthew Revis 73 and George Hill 24.

George Hill, much like Fin Bean, has had a challenging start to the season with the bat. By his own admission, he would have wanted more than the two fifties he’s scored.

So some time at the middle today and runs with it would surely do him the world of good.

He has 14 out of 437-6 in the 163rd over of the innings. Matthew Revis is 67, the pair having moved their partnership to 30.

Matthew Revis has 54 and George Hill 4.

Liam Patterson-White is bowling his 53rd over of the innings.

A draw is the most likely outcome at Trent Bridge today. But if Yorkshire had to try and engineer a win from here, how could they do it.

There are two ways. One would be to try and bat on, claim a lead and try to bowl Nottinghamshire out cheaply later in the day.

The other one could see them declare immediately overnight, try and bowl Notts out cheaply and then chase later in the day.

However, the pitch remains docile, so any positive result would be a huge surprise.

From Trent Bridge, where the it’s another dry and bright morning, though with plenty of cloud about. And it’s pretty warm too. Probably falls into the humid category.

Yesterday was dominated by one man, Fin Bean, who hit a stunning 224 to help Yorkshire reach 414-6 in their first-innings reply to Nottinghamshire’s 487.

The White Rose deficit is 73, with Matthew Revis at the crease unbeaten on 54 and George Hill on 4.

It’s almost certain that both sides will pick up 12 points from the draw and we will be shaking hands around 4.50pm or 5pm.
