Ben Duckett – 77 Duckett put himself firmly in prime spot to retain his Test opening place by following up his 62 and 93 last week with another half-century. He was part of a strong show from Nottinghamshire's top order, with Ben Slater scoring 178 before Joe Clarke was dismissed three runs short of 100. Olly Stone – 5-68 & 3-41 Having sporadically appeared in the Championship for Notts since joining in 2023, managing injury concerns and absent on England duty, Stone took his first five-for in the club colours this round. His figures of 5-68 in Leicestershire's first innings included a double wicket maiden, and he took three wickets in four overs in the second innings to rip through their middle order. Joe Root – 33 & 64, 4-49 A second-innings half century gave Root something to show from the fixture with the bat, but his real contribution to Yorkshire's win came with a devastating spell with the ball on the final day . With Somerset needing 124 with five wickets in hand, Root spun through the rest of their lineup, dismissing Thomas Rew on debut before getting Craig Overton caught at short leg, Will Smeed off the outside edge and taking a catch off his own bowling
