Getting better for them 18-4 now. Shame Lancs have got off to a sluggish one at Taunton; 32-2.

Notts 47-6 now, Hannon-Dalby ripping through them.

Chris Read gone for nought to the last ball before lunch, Notts now 47-6.

Encouraging debut for 18 year old Moin Ashraf, couple of wickets in his first spell.

Lancs head in to lunch on 86-3.

49-8 now according to the BBC live text

59 all out

I'll not get too carried away until I see how we go on the track!

Not seen or heard any reports on the pitch, but if Yorkshire struggle on in too might Notts be facing a points deduction? Or are the problems being caused by swing rather than off the pitch?

Seamer friendly pitch aided by poor batting according to the BBC.

Yorks 11-0

some good bowling aswell according to the live bbc stream.

30-0 off 7.0

Both openers gone to Adams - 33-2.

Lancs 164-6

Hmm, Notts back in after tea?

Second ball duck for Pietersen on his Surrey CC debut.

Yorks lead by 30 with 7 wickets in hand.

Yorks 129/3 at tea.

Not see Hannon-Dalby in the flesh. Looks a handfull.

Lancs last pair building their total nicely, they've got 2 batting points now.

Yorks 157/3, Gale going well on 82.

edit - Bairstow goes with the lead at 112.

It's great and all, but reckon we've left it too late to win it ourselves. May well be about to be the major kingmakers in a maiden Somerset title win.

They are probably sitting pretty at the moment, but if Lancs beat them it's all on - they go to Durham next week which isn't a gimme.

5 lbw's against Lancashire today from 2 Yorkshire-born umpires, one of whom played half of his career for Somerset. That sounds fair to me

Yorks all out for 264, lead of 205 Notts currently 9-0 in reply after 5 overs.

Somerset are 100-3 against Lancs, could go either way from here.

Is it just my natural sense of Yorkshire pessimism, or can anyone else see Notts making 400 plus second time around and then it raining for two days?

Far too optimistic. They'll skittle us for under a 100.

That would be karma after rain saved you against them at your place wouldn't it?!

Shame you don't have them to play again then isn't it, otherwise they could return the favour for your ludicrous declaration handing them the title on a plate.

Next week, Old Trafford mate.
And it wasn't ludicrous it was the only way they'd have gone for a result to make a game of it. If we'd have held our catches we may very well have won it and been in almost pole position. If I were you I'd rather they won it than us!!
