Leaders Notts beat rain to seal win over Yorkshire
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Headingley (day four) Nottinghamshire 228 & 393-8: Clarke 94; Coad 3-64 Yorkshire 159 & 299: Wharton 58; Pennington 5-106 Notts (19 pts) beat Yorkshire (3 pts) by 163 runs Match scorecard Five-wicket paceman Dillon Pennington helped Nottinghamshire complete a fourth win in seven matches, this one against Yorkshire at Headingley shortly before tea on day four, to strengthen their position at the Division One summit in the County Championship. Struggling Yorkshire were set a 463-target during the third afternoon and closed on 176-5, losing four of those wickets in the evening session, including one in the day's final over to Pennington. Yorkshire started the fourth day well, with top-scorer Matthew Revis and George Hill sharing a 54-run partnership to raise hopes of avoiding a fourth defeat in seven matches. But they needed much more and were later bowled out for 299 inside 121 overs, slipping to a 163-run defeat. The part-time spin of Freddie McCann made the breakthrough by bowling Hill with the first ball of a solitary over shortly before the new ball. Pennington then removed Revis for 45 just after lunch and finished with an impressive season's best 5-106 from 31 overs. Nottinghamshire claimed 19 points to Yorkshire's three and reach the midway point in the four-day campaign well placed to claim a first Championship title since 2010. Not since 2011 have they won at Headingley, a venue at which they have only ever won five Championship matches, including this. Pennington claimed three of his wickets on Monday in easing batting conditions to keep Yorkshire second-bottom in the table. Revis and new England Lions all-rounder Hill, who contributed 26, batted pretty comfortably through the first 85 minutes of a gloomy and chilly day. Although the former took a painful blow on the right thumb from the seam of Brett Hutton, he played confidently through the off-side off front foot and back on the way to a season's best score in his fourth appearance. But all Notts had to do was stay patient, and you felt success would come. And it did, even if it initially came via the most unexpected route. The off-spin of McCann was brought into the attack to bowl the 79th over, the penultimate before the new ball was due. He dragged his first ball down and Hill's eyes lit up. He went to pull, but the delivery scooted through and uprooted middle stump, leaving the score at 230-6. Seven balls into the afternoon, Pennington forced Revis - playing back - to feather behind to South African Kyle Verreynne with the score on 244. The same combination ousted Yorkshire's stand-in captain Dom Bess for 21 and then Ben Coad for five. By that stage, at 277-9, the outcome of the game was all but certain. With light rain starting to fall, last pair Jack White and Jordan Thompson resisted for more than an hour - and almost 20 overs - to threaten that theory. But Mohammad Abbas got White caught behind by Verreynne, whose sixth catch in the innings and ninth in the match sealed the win.

Seamer Hill shines as Yorkshire & Notts batters toil
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Headingley (day one) Nottinghamshire 228: Clarke 64, Slater 52; Hill 5-40, Thompson 3-77 Yorkshire 10-2: Abbas 2-5 Yorkshire 3 pts, Nottinghamshire 0 pts Match scorecard Nottinghamshire's Ben Slater and Joe Clarke posted battling half-centuries and new England Lion George Hill claimed five more wickets for Yorkshire during a fascinating opening day of County Championship cricket at Headingley. Division One leaders Notts were bowled out for 228 by a White Rose side who sat second-bottom ahead of this seventh fixture of the summer. Opener Slater made 52 off 111 balls and Clarke 64 off 151, while Hill's seam accounted for 5-40 from 20 overs - his third haul of five wickets or more in as many matches. He is now the joint-leading wicket-taker in the country with 32. Yorkshire closed on 10-2 from 12 overs in reply, Mohammad Abbas striking twice. The hosts started well, with Jack White removing visiting skipper Haseeb Hameed, brilliantly caught one-handed at point by James Wharton diving low to his right. Even with a score of six, Hameed became the first man in Division One to pass 700 runs. Slater repelled the new ball and shared 56 for the second wicket with fellow left-hander Freddie McCann through to late morning. He reached his fifth fifty of 2025 off 109 balls. McCann fell just before lunch with the score on 65, caught low down at first slip off Jordan Thompson for 28. And when the same bowler clipped Slater's off-stump shortly after lunch, two balls after he reached 50, the score slipped to 102-3 in the 38th over. That was the first of three wickets to fall for 19 runs inside nine overs, with Notts now 121-5 in the 47th. Hill bowled Jack Haynes shouldering arms and shortly afterwards bowled South African Kyle Verreynne through the gate. Clarke reached his 50 off 123 balls and, with the help of 29 from James, advanced Nottinghamshire's cause. But Yorkshire hit back to limit the damage. The 71-stand between Clarke and James was broken by Thompson's third wicket - the latter caught behind by wicketkeeper Harry Duke following a top-edged pull. In the next over, Liam Patterson-White offered Duke a more regulation catch off Hill's prolific seam - 197-7 after 73 overs. Hill then had Brett Hutton caught at second slip and Clarke brilliantly caught by Thompson on the run at third-man following an attempted reverse scoop. White wrapped things up by bowling Dillon Pennington after he had heaved a four and six. Abbas then had Yorkshire openers Adam Lyth and Fin Bean caught behind for two apiece before close. And the concern for Yorkshire is that in their Pakistani Test star, Notts have the perfect bowler for these conditions.

County Championship, day one - radio & text updates as Anderson makes Lancs return
50 up for Notts Durham v Notts 53-0 Doubt creeps into the mind of Haseeb Hameed as he aims a tentative push at Brydon Carse and it beats the edge. The Durham man is generating some pace here. He angles the next ball across the Notts opener, but it strays down leg and Hameed helps it round the corner to the fine leg boundary. That one raced away. Carse's line again strays, offering Ben Slater a bit of width and he punches it off the back foot for four more. Fine start for the visitors here as the openers bring up the 50 stand off 79 balls.

Notts' McGoldrick out injured for rest of play-offs
David McGoldrick is out of contract in the summer [Getty Images] David McGoldrick will miss what remains of Notts County's League Two play-off campaign because of injury. The 37-year-old former Republic of Ireland striker, who has netted 17 times this season, limped off the pitch in stoppage time of the Magpies' 1-0 semi-final first-leg defeat by AFC Wimbledon on Saturday. Advertisement The injury means Notts are without both their top two scorers for the second leg after leading marksman Alassana Jatta was shown a straight red card soon after McGoldrick's exit for a two-footed tackle on Alistair Smith. The length of Jatta's ban is yet to be determined with The Gambia international also charged by the Football Association for violent behaviour after he clashed with rival players following his sending-off. With McGoldrick and Jatta out after scoring a combined 39 goals in all competitions this term, Notts head coach Stuart Maynard said the East Midlands side will "change tactically" for Saturday's second leg at Plough Lane. "We don't have that focal point and we will have to look at it in a different way with a different approach," Maynard told BBC East Midlands Today. Advertisement With McGoldrick's contract up in the summer, the injury could end his time with his boyhood club. He has, however, previously said he was determined to earn a new deal at Meadow Lane. The former Sheffield United, Ipswich Town, Nottingham Forest, Southampton and Derby County striker has scored 30 goals since returning to the Magpies for a third spell in the summer of 2023. described McGoldrick as "Superman" in the past and said losing him for what remains of the season is "very disappointing". "He has been excellent for us all season," Maynard continued. "He has just got magic. He has more quality than the level, he has top-end quality and we have seen that with his goals all season. Advertisement "If you take Didzy out of any team up and down the country, I think they are going to miss him. "It's down to us now, someone else comes in and gets an opportunity and I think we still have magic within our group and the top end of the pitch." And while McGoldrick, whose exact injury has not been specified by the club, will not be able to play any further part in the play-offs, he will be relied on elsewhere. "I still think he has a key part to play off the pitch now around the lads," Maynard said. "His presence, being about the place, is excellent."
