England seamer Ajmal Shahzad 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.

Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale then hit an unbeaten 147 not out to deepen their 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.

With heavy overnight rain leaving the pitch looking extremely green, it was an easy decision for Gale to insert Notts after winning the toss and Trent Bridge once again proved to be a seam bowler's paradise.

Yorkshire: Lyth, Rudolph, McGrath, Gale (captain), Bairstow, Brophy, Rashid, Shahzad, Patterson, Ashfaf, Hannon-Dalby.
