Bean’s 224 spanned 564 minutes and included 30 boundaries and a six. He formed crucial partnerships, adding 130 with Matthew Revis, who remained 54 not out, and 101 with captain Jonny Bairstow, who contributed 41. The Yorkshire batting display frustrated Nottinghamshire’s push for a follow-on.

Bean, previously accomplished against Division Two attacks, had struggled against Division One competition this season, averaging just 13.66 in his first 12 innings. However, at Trent Bridge, he overcame challenges posed by Mohammad Abbas, Dillon Pennington, and spinners Patterson-White and Farhan Ahmed.
His innings showcased concentration and patience, marking one of the longest by a Yorkshire batter. He reached his century from 236 balls, adding another hundred from 450 deliveries. The County Championship match saw Bean give only one chance before his dismissal.
Yorkshire lost only one wicket before lunch, with Dan Moriarty edging Patterson-white to Freddie McCann at slip. Bairstow then partnered with Bean, capitalizing on a pitch offering some assistance to the spinners.
Nottinghamshire’s Lyndon James nearly dismissed Bean on 152, but Patterson-White later trapped Bairstow lbw. Bean survived another chance off Abbas before surpassing his previous best of 173 against Glamorgan. Farhan Ahmed eventually caught Bean at slip, ending his innings to a standing ovation.
