Nottinghamshire v Yorkshire
(County Championship)
Day Four
Yorkshire were forced to put in a hard day's labour to squeeze out two bowling bonus points on the final day of their rain-ruined Championship game against titleholders, Nottinghamshire, at Trent Bridge on Saturday.
On a soft and unresponsive pitch, Notts chose to bat out the day and the match ended in the inevitable draw when they declared on 417 for eight the moment that Chris Read drove the six that moved him to his second unbeaten century of the season.
Yorkshire's six bowlers stuck gamely to their task and the most successful were McGrath and Bresnan who each took three wickets.
