Andrew Gale is in the midst of the innings of his life as Yorkshire continue to ram home the advantage against Nottinghamshire at Headingley.

The Yorkshire skipper went in to lunch on the second day on 143 not out with his side 334-9 from 90 overs in reply to the visitors’ 143 all out.

Gale peppered the leg-side boundary with regularity during an unbroken tenth-wicket stand of 80 from 12.4 overs with Oliver Hannon-Dalby, who took lunch on two not out.

The left-hander, who hit 15 fours and two sixes during his 198-ball knock to date, scored 76 of the 80 runs shared between the two.

Left-arm spinner Samit Patel had earlier accounted for Adil Rashid and David Wainwright, while Luke Fletcher and Paul Franks got Rich Pyrah and Ryan Sidebottom to leave the hosts at 254-9.

Yorkshire led by 191 runs going into the afternoon session.
