Bean leads fightback after Notts take charge

Rothesay County Championship, Division One: Nottinghamshire v Yorkshire Trent Bridge, Day 2

- Jon Culley, ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay

HALF-CENTURIES from Ishan Kishan, Liam Patterson-White and Dillon Pennington put Division One leaders Nottinghamshire in control as they totalled 487 on day two of their Rothesay County Championship match against Yorkshire.

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Kishan’s 87 came in his debut innings for the county, Patterson-White posting the same score and fast-bowler Pennington entertaining the Trent Bridge crowd with a career-best 61.

Left-arm spinner Dan Moriarty took four for 91 - but a poor innings in the field for the visitors was at least followed by a better performance with the bat, Yorkshire recovering from the loss of a wicket first ball to close on 154 for three, with Finlay Bean 86 not out, albeit losing the experience of Dawid Malan in the penultimate over.

Yorkshire would have seen a Nottinghamshire first-innings total below 350 as a half-decent outcome for their endeavours with the ball.

In the event, they were unable even to keep them below 450 at lunch as Nottinghamshire piled 155 in the session on to their overnight 298 for six for the loss of only two more wickets.
