YORKSHIRE have thrown the County Championship title battle wide open at Trent Bridge.

After dismissing Notts for 59 - their lowest total in 22 years - Yorkshire skipper Andrew Gale then hit an unbeaten 147.

England seamer Ajmal Shahzad earlier picked up the first two wickets on his way to 4-21 while Oliver Hannon-Dalby ripped out the tail with 4-18 as Notts collapsed in just 33.2 overs.

Gale then deepened Notts’ misery as the visitors racked up 260-8 in reply, giving them a lead of 201 and putting them right back in the race for their first Championship pennant since 2001.

Andre Adams added to his career-best season haul of 58 wickets with 4-82 but Notts already face a massive challenge to rescue anything from the game and stay ahead of second-placed Somerset.

DURHAM were looking to make an impact with the bat today after restricting bottom-of-the-table Essex to 236-8 at Chelmsford. Teessider Liam Plunkett took 2-27 for Durham.
