Yorkshire’s first-innings lead was about to be wiped out by a Nottinghamshire fightback at tea in the LV= County Championship match at Trent Bridge.
At the interval on day two, the hosts – bowled out for just 59 in their first innings – had reached 196-2 in their second-innings It meant they were now only nine runs behind the Tykes on a pitch which is far more batsmen friendly than it was on day one.
Paul Franks did most of the damage for the Division One leaders before falling to Bradford-born Adil Rashid for 79, while Mark Wagh made an unbeaten 59.
Apart from the late wicket of Franks, only Alex Hales was ousted during the afternoon session, when he edged to Gerard Brophy off Bradfordian Moin Ashraf for 24.
Adam Voges was at the crease with Wagh, having made a single.
Yorkshire were all out for 264 from their overnight 260-8, leaving captain Andrew Gale unbeaten on 151.
