TIM BRESNAN claimed only the eighth five-wicket haul of his first-class career as champions Yorkshire closed in on victory against Notts at Scarborough.
The former England pace bowler has 5-36 as Notts reached lunch on 129-6 on day four, trailing by 323.
Bresnan bowled the first eight overs of the morning from the Trafalgar Square end, and he took 3-9 in the space of 31 balls after capturing his first two wickets the previous evening.
Brendan Taylor has batted through the session to advance from three to 37, with Brett Hutton (20) also unbeaten at the break.
In sunny conditions at North Marine Road, where Yorkshire brought over their “Blotter” from Headingley to dry the outfield after overnight rain, Notts lost a wicket to the day’s fourth ball when Bresnan had Tom Moores caught at second slip by Adam Lyth.
Moores had not added to his overnight score of 41, and Notts slipped to 77-5 when Bresnan had Samit Patel caught behind for five.

Patel briefly stood his ground in echoes of Michael Lumb’s dismissal on the third evening, when he, too, had been given out caught behind by umpire Neil Mallender.
Bresnan then bagged his fifth wicket when he had Chris Read caught at fourth slip by Jake Lehmann for one, leaving the visitors 83-6.
But Notts dug in as Taylor and Hutton battled for 80 minutes before the break in front of a 2,500 crowd.

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.

Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired and Liberty Ship, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."

Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."
The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

A recruitment firm has been named the best company in the UK for work-life balance.
Financial recruiter Goodman Masson took first place in the list by jobs site Glassdoor, based on reviews submitted to its website by current and former staff.
The company, which is based in London and also has offices in Dusseldorf, was praised by staff for its “huge investment” in staff benefits and “great” parties twice a year.
“The attention paid to the wellbeing of staff is at a level rarely matched elsewhere,” said an anonymous employee working in the London office.
In second place was technology firm Cisco Systems, and in third place was insurer HomeServe.
West Midlands-based HomeServe, which employs 1,200 people at its headquarters in Walsall and has 2.1 million customers in the UK, was commended for its attitude towards the treatment of its staff.
“The salary is very competitive and you are rewarded very generously for your hard work and just for carrying out your role. The company has a great framework for career progression and is always looking to promote people internally for job roles,” said a water supply engineer working at the firm.
Greg Reed, chief marketing officer at HomeServe, said: “We believe if you take care of your people, they will take care of your customers. This means creating a culture where people genuinely enjoy coming to work every day because they feel what they do really makes a difference in our customers’ lives.”
Temping firm LOLA and Screwfix completed the top five. Other companies in the top 20 included Apple, American Express Lloyds Banking Group, Unilever and John Lewis.
Google is known for its plush offices, but doesn’t make the top 20 companies for work-life balance. Its new London office has sleep pods so workers can take a nap, although perhaps this is an indication of long hours.
For a company to have been considered, at least 50 work-life balance ratings must have been submitted by UK-based employees in the past year.
The top 20 companies for work-life balance:
1. Goodman Masson
2. Cisco Systems
3. HomeServe UK
4. LOLA Staffing
5. Screwfix
6. American Express
7. BP
8. Peninsula Business Services
9. ARM Holdings
10. Unilever
11.Thomson Reuters
12. Kantar Worldpanel
13. Atkins
14. Téléfonica
15. Credit Suisse
16. Rolls-Royce
17. John Lewis
18. Waitrose
19. Lloyds Banking Group
20. Apple

Nodding off in the middle of the day may be down to pollution generated by traffic, suggests new research.
The study shows exposure to traffic pollution is a trigger for daytime sleepiness - and may also trigger SNORING.
More than 12,000 adults were included in the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe study.
The findings show that people exposed to high levels of pollution had a 65 per cent greater chance of suffering from daytime sleepiness, compared to those who had no exposure.
Traffic noise in the bedroom was also a trigger - with people 46 per cent more likely to feel sleepy in the day if exposed.
And the research also suggests that people are also 29 per cent more likely to be a habitual snorer if they are exposed to traffic noise while they sleep.
Daytime sleepiness affected one in five people involved in the study, while one in four reported habitual snoring.
Ane Johannessen, an epidemiologist at Bergen University in Norway, wrote the study together with Professor Thorarinn Gislason and other Northern European researchers.
She said: "Exposure to traffic should be taken into account when planning treatment for patients with sleep disturbances, because reducing noise and pollution exposure in the bedroom may have a beneficial effect.
"Reducing exposure through relocating the bedroom away from pollution sources or making the bedroom more soundproof to protect against traffic noise, as well as mapping alternative and less polluted outdoor everyday routes may help patients with their sleep disorders."
The study also showed that men, older subjects, smokers and those with lower education were more likely to report habitual snoring.
They were usually less physically active, with a higher BMI, and more likely to have a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea.
Women, older people, smokers, and those with lower education were more likely to report daytime sleepiness.
The new research is due to be presented at the European Respiratory Society's International Congress in London next month.
Professor Jorgen Vestbo, President of ERS and Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Manchester, said: "The question of who snores may be a running joke in some households but for many snoring is a serious issue, with direct links to physical and mental well being and the same is true for daytime sleepiness.
"We want people to think more about the environment around them and the impact it can have - from the way they sleep to the air they breathe."
To coincide with Congress, the ERS will be holding some free public lung function testing, starting in Trafalgar Square on September 2 and 3.

Yiorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks proved a big hit at Reading Festival last night and are now heading home to do it all again - today they play Leeds Festival.
They top along list of big name local breaking local bands - including The Wired, Fighting Caravans and Faux Pas - who are being showcased at Leeds.
Local talent is joining the the likes of Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy - who played Leeds last night - Foals and Disclosure, who perform tonight, and Red Hot Chili Peppers who will close Leeds Festival this Bank Holiday weekend.
For more about Leeds Festival and tickets availability visit www.leedsfestival.com
The Sherlocks, singer songwriter Kiaran Crook, 20, brother and drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
But this is the biggest showcase weekend for the Bolton Upon Dearne indie quartet who have over 700 gigs to their name and have also just completed their first UK headline tour, selling out venues around the country, with their latest single Last Night getting lots of Radio 1 airplay.
Last year Kiaran, Brandon, Josh and Andy drew a huge number of fans before Sunday lunchtime at Reading, but a coveted evening slot on this year’s popular Festival Republic stage meant the crowds in the south were even bigger.
On a scorching summer evening the temperature in Berkshire was almost as high as the anticipation for the band of brothers’ 30 minute seven song set.
At exactly 5.45pm the lads, playing it cool as always, bounded on stage to kick off with single Last Night followed by favourites Escapade and Heart of Gold.
They continued with epic new song Candle Light, Live for the Moment and finished with Chasing Shadows as two giant beach balls flew back and forth across the arena.
Will You Be There?, which had one of its first plays at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, was another soaring highlight.
The huge Reading turn out for Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks
Almost all the sides to the huge festival tent were drawn back meaning the Sherlocks’ sound carried beyond the tent poles. More and more joined the audience as the gig went on and by the end of the set the place was rammed.
“That was astonishing” frontman Kiaran told us as he came off stage.
“Last year was truly memorable, but this year Reading has taken it to another level. We’re seeing crowd reactions we'd only ever seen in the north before.
“We love it down here and now we're buzzing even more for Leeds.”
* The Sherlocks play The Festival Republic stage at Leeds Festival 5:45pm, Saturday August 27 and tour nationwide in September. More at thesherlocksmusic.co.uk.

Yorkshire moved to within five points of County Championship leaders Middlesex after wrapping up a resounding 305-run victory over Nottinghamshire at Scarborough.
Knowing a victory was needed to keep pace at the top of the table in what was their game in hand on their main title rivals, the White Rose county backed up Gary Ballance’s decision not to follow-on on Wednesday by securing the win early in the afternoon session.

They needed just 34.3 overs to claim the final seven wickets as the visitors were bowled out for 146 chasing 452 to win and leave their own hopes of survival in Division One hanging in the balance.
They remain rooted bottom to the bottom of the table with three matches to play while Yorkshire stay second and well in the hunt for a third successive Championship title.
Despite heavy rain for much of the evening on the east coast, play got under way on time thanks in no part to the decision to transport the club’s ‘Blotter’ from Headingley to North Marine Road in the early hours of the morning.
The machine spent two hours drying the outfield, and Tim Bresnan was soon reaping the rewards as he had Tom Moores (41) caught by Adam Lyth at second slip from just the fourth ball of the morning.
Having taken two wickets in an over on the previous day, Bresnan continued his fine form with the ball, with Samit Patel the next to succumb to the England all-rounder as he feathered an edge through to wicketkeeper Andrew Hodd.
Notts captain Chris Read fared little better as Bresnan picked up his fifth wicket, Jake Lehman the catcher at fourth slip, but Brendan Taylor and Brett Hutton were able to forge a partnership to see Notts through to lunch.
The pair added 47 for the seventh wicket, but just three balls after the interval they were parted as Ryan Sidebottom found Hutton’s outside edge and Hodd took the simplest of catches.
That sparked a lower order collapse, as Brendan Taylor (38) pushed a wide ball from Jack Brooks to Alex Lees at cover and Luke Fletcher was bowled from the very next ball to leave Notts on the brink of defeat.
Imran Tahir was able to survive the hat-trick delivery, but he faced just three more deliveries before fending Brooks off to Lees at short-leg as the final four wickets fell in just three-and-a-half overs after lunch.
Bresnan finished with career best figures of 5-36 and his best in any first-class match across the two innings of eight for 51.

Doncaster Rovers are once again nervously awaiting medical reports after a raft of injuries were suffered in the win over Yeovil Town.
Mitchell Lund was the most serious of a quartet of concerns and will certainly miss tomorrow night’s Checkatrade Trophy trip to Mansfield Town.
The defender was passing blood in his urine after suffering a blow to his ribs early in the second half on Saturday.
Matty Blair, John Marquis and Joe Wright will also be checked over after suffering knocks against the Glovers.
And the diagnoses will be a major influence on the decision of boss Darren Ferguson over whether he will make new loan signings before Wednesday’s transfer deadline.
“A couple of lads have gone to hospital,” Ferguson said after the game. “Matty Blair took a knock to the ribs and Mitchell took the same. He’s definitely gone to hospital.
“When he went to the toilet, blood came out.
“Matty finished the game ok so we’ll see how he is.
“Joe Wright took a thumb to the eye and John Marquis says he feels a little bit concussed.
“It’s just going on and on for us.
“I’ve got until Wednesday to make loan signings and we’ll do what we think is right for the club in the long term, mid term and short term.
“Clearly, if I keep getting defenders injured I’m going to have a problem. It’s going to force my hand.
“There are one or two options that we have.
“For example, Mitchell could go to centre half but of course, if he’s injured that leaves me a bit short.
“We’ll just have to see how it goes.”
After Rovers picked up a third successive win to go third in League Two, Ferguson praised his side for the manner in which they have handled to horrendous injury situation at the club since the summer.
He said: “With the injuries we had, at least we know the sort of time they’re going to be out.
“With the ones I’ve got fit, I’d like to keep a consistent team.
“It just so happens I can’t do that.
“I had to change my back four in a game again.
“I have to give credit to the team, considering how many changes we’ve had to make and changes within games and injuries, we’ve coped really well.
“To have ten points after five games is good.”

Doncaster Rovers may make loan signings after latest list of casualties takes gloss off big home win


Doncaster Rovers are once again nervously awaiting medical reports after a raft of injuries were suffered in the win over Yeovil Town.


Two people have been arrested in connection with the death of a man found on moorland and which is being treated as a murder probe.
The body of Rotherham man Craig Nelson, 34, was found earlier this week near the A628 at Woodhead Tunnels in the Peak District.
This morning, detectives arrested a man and a woman on suspicion of murder in relation to the incident.
A 41-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were arrested in Sheffield and currently remain in custody being questioned by officers.
Mr Nelson, also known as Craig Preston from Wath-Upon-Dearne, was found dead on Monday at about 11am on the moors.
A post-mortem examination found he died as a result of head injuries and a murder inquiry was launched.
Officers remain keen to hear from anyone who saw or heard from Mr Nelson in the days leading up to his death.
Yesterday, Detective Chief Inspector Steve Handley, who is leading the inquiry, said: “We’re in the process of piecing together Craig’s movements in the days leading up to his death. Did you see him in the days before? Did you speak to him or know what his plans were?
“I would urge anyone who knew him, or had contact with him before his death, to come forward as any small piece of information could be crucial.
“I’d also like to hear from anyone who saw a vehicle, or anyone acting suspiciously, on the slip road off the A628 or the car park near Woodhead Tunnels at any time between 7am on Saturday 20 August and 11am on Monday 22 August.
“We have a dedicated team of detectives working hard to find out what happened to Craig. We are providing support and regular updates to his family; they deserve to know what happened to him, so please come forward if you can help.”
There is currently a cordon in place at Mr Nelson’s address in Montgomery Square, Rotherham, while police carry out their enquiries.
If you have any information that could assist detectives with their enquiries, please call 101, quoting incident number 819 of 23 August 2016.

Update: Air ambulance lands on South Yorkshire motorway after crash


An air ambulance has landed on a South Yorkshire motorway this morning following a crash.


A mother's state of mind rather than her teen daughter's stroppy attitude is the key to surviving adolescence, according to new research.
Adolescence was a tough time for both teenage daughters going through puberty and parents having to cope with their emotional roller coaster of changing hormones.
Now scientists have found the exact formula so that mums and daughters can survive those turbulent years (soundtracked here with Spice Girls Mama).
If teenage girls can manage their emotions and both are flexible in coping with the changes their relationship may stand the test of time, Canadian researchers found.
Those mums and daughters who struggled to adapt had the worst relationship quality afterwards, researchers at Queen's University, Ontario said.
But it was the mother's mental health rather than the daughter's which was key to how the relationship fared.
If mums had depression and anxiety, her relationship with her daughter was more likely to be doomed.
Co-author Dr Jessica Lougheed in the department of psychology said: "This study reflects a growing need to examine how typically developing adolescents - those without a diagnosis of any major mental health issue - learn to manage their emotions.
"Being able to effectively manage emotions in different kinds of emotional contexts - called 'emotion regulation' - is a crucial part of healthy development."
The study examined how mother-daughter pairs were able to manage transitions between emotional states.
They questioned 96 typically developing adolescent girls and their mothers individually about the quality of their relationship and whether symptoms of anxiety and depression were internalised.
The mums and daughters then answered a questionnaire on times when they felt happy, worried, proud, frustrated, and grateful toward each other and took part in a series of three-minute conversations about those emotional experiences.
Researchers then analysed the emotions they showed throughout the videotaped sessions.
Unsurprising, mums with less anxiety and depression symptoms, alongside 'moderate levels of flexibility' throughout the changes, had a better quality relationship.
But, the most flexible mums and daughters showed no links with relationship quality or mental health - suggesting that a moderate degree of flexibility is optimal for a strong and healthy relationship.
Associate Professor Tom Hollenstein said: "We have speculated, but never tested the hypothesis, that flexibility is sort of an inverted-U function in terms that a certain amount is just right, but too much and you become disorganised and leaning towards a lack of coherence".
The findings showed that it was the mother's depression and anxiety, as opposed to the daughters, that was consistently related to the degree of flexibility.
Dr Lougheed added this showed adolescence was not just a time of development for children, but a developmental transition for parents as well.
She said: "The adolescent developmental period is an important transition for parents and adolescents alike.
"Generally speaking, parents and teens who are able to 'go with the flow' of new emotional experiences in their relationship will likely be show better well-being in other ways as well."
The study was published in the journal Emotion.

MUM'S THE WORD: flexibility key to good mother-daughter relationship


As the world reeled in shock at the tragic death of Princess Diana on this day in 1997, media organisations across the globe leapt into action to cover every last aspect of the tragedy for viewers and readers.
Newspapers cleared entire editions to report on the road accident which claimed Diana's life and acres of newsprint were devoted to picture specials, tributes, memories of her life and how the nation came to a standstill in the days following the tragedy.
The front page of The Star, September 3, 1997.
It was no different in South Yorkshire with page after page of our newspapers carrying photos, details of the funeral service and endless tributes from local people of all ages.
Diana's face was present on virtually every page, interspersed with snippets from her life - her childhood beginnings, her fairytale romance and wedding to Prince Charles, the very public collapse of that marriage amid rumors of infidelity as well as the horrific circumstances of her death in the early hours of August 31, 1997 in a road tunnel in Paris.
Here is just some of that coverage from that week in 1997.

ON THIS DAY:1997: Death of Princess Diana - how we reported the tragedy


As the world reeled in shock at the tragic death of Princess Diana on this day in 1997, media organisations across the globe leapt into action to cover every last aspect of the tragedy for viewers and readers.


As many as one in three adults in England could lack skills essential to finding work or carrying out basic everyday tasks, Joseph Rowntree Foundation claims.
The charity says 12.6 million would struggle to fill out an online job application form while a further five million cannot carry out one or more of a range of tasks including using a cash machine, writing a message or understanding household bills.
In many Western countries young people outperform their older counterparts, but the JRF says that in England older adults achieve higher literacy and numeracy scores than teenagers and those in their early 20s.
The charity analysed data gathered in 2011 and 2012 by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
It found that 23 per cent of people aged 16-18 and 17 per cent of those aged 19-24 achieved the lowest score on the literacy skills scale used by the department.
The North East was among the worst faring regions in terms of both literacy and numeracy. It is also the region of England that consistently performs worst in terms of A-level and GCSE grades.
The charity said the figures painted a “troubling picture” of people being “let down” the education system or left behind in the modern economy.
The charity will next month publish a strategy aimed at eradicating poverty in the UK.
The organisation wants to see millions of pounds of additional government investment to ensure all adults meet basic skills requirements, including in IT, by 2030.
Its proposals include incentivising more adults to take night classes and encouraging employers to offer on-the-job training.
It also wants young people to be taught skills “grounded in the real world” such as financial planning and household budgeting.
Stephen Evans, deputy chief executive of the Learning and Work Institute, said: ‘’Everyone needs a set of basics for life and work in modern Britain. It’s shocking that so many people lack these core capabilities.”
A Department for Education spokesperson said: “Everyone, regardless of background or ability, should have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
“That’s why we have strengthened the national curriculum to ensure all children leave school having mastered the basics in literacy and mathematics early on. Alongside this our new gold standard qualifications and high quality apprenticeships will match the best education systems in the world and keep pace with universities’ and employers’ demands.
“To support lifelong learning and ensure we have a workforce with the skills to succeed we are investing £1.5bn in adult learning, have introduced tuition fee loans for part time students and published a dedicated skills plan so that more people gain the knowledge and skills to get on in life and help build a stronger country.”

Doncaster Rovers have had a bid rejected for Greenock Morton striker Jai Quitongo.
A statement on Morton's official website said: "Morton can confirm that we have turned down an initial bid from Doncaster Rovers for the services of 18-year-old striker Jai Quitongo.
"The teenager was the subject of an offer from the English League Two outfit last night and manager Jim Duffy told gmfc.net that the club have carefully considered the fee but decided that it is not in line with our valuation.
"Jai is an individual we feel has a big future in the game. He is also considered an important member of our squad for this season’s Championship campaign and we will not allow such a player to depart for what we believe to be below his market value."

RATINGS: Our verdict on Doncaster Rovers players’ performances against Yeovil Town


Here is how deputy head of sport Liam Hoden rated the Rovers side that beat Yeovil 4-1 on Saturday.


Sir Sean Connery turned 86 yesterday ... so here's 23 facts you might not know about the actor with clipped top ten performances thrown in for good meashhhure.
1. Despite being known as Sean, the actor’s first name is Thomas, and he was referred to as Tommy in his youth.
2. His first job was as a milkman with the St Cuthbert’s Co-Operative Society in Edinburgh.
3. Sir Sean worked as a coffin polisher before going into acting.
4. He reportedly placed third in the Mr Universe contest in 1953 although there is some dispute over whether he finished third in the Junior class, or failed to place in the ‘Tall Man’ classification.
5. He turned out for Edinburgh junior side Bonnyrigg Rose in his youth.
6. He has a tattoo reading ‘Scotland forever’ which he got at the age of 16 when he enrolled in the Royal Navy.
7. Connery attended dancing lessons for 11 years under the tutelage of Swedish dance Yat Malmgren.
8. He donated his $250,000 salary from his role as King Richard in 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves to charity.
9. His film production company, Fountainbridge Films, is named after the area of Edinburgh where he was born and grew up.
10. Following his discharge from the Merchant Navy due to stomach ulcers, he worked as a nude model for art students in Edinburgh
11. He received the Freedom of Edinburgh in 1991.
12. He turned down an offer to portray Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings series claiming he couldn’t understand the novels and wasn’t keen on filming in New Zealand for 18 months.
13. His favourite Bond film is From Russia with Love, as confirmed to ABC News in 2002.
14. Connery turned down the chance to play the role of the Architect in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. The role eventually went to Helmut Bakaitis.
15. Bond author Ian Fleming was initially against the idea of the ‘unrefined’ Scots actor portraying 007, and was said to favour Cary Grant. But he later changed his mind admitting Connery was ‘ideal’ for the role after seeing his performance in Dr No - and adapted future novels to give Bond a Scots background.
16. Sir Matt Busby is said to have offered Connery a contract at Manchester United in the early 1950s, but Connery turned it down, believing that there was more career longevity in acting than football.
17. He met fellow actor Michael Caine in 1954, during a party for the King’s Theatre production of South Pacific. The pair have remained friends ever since.
18. He was once stopped by a policeman for speeding. The cop’s name? Sergeant James Bond.

20. Connery was considered for a cameo in 2012 Bond movie ‘Skyfall’, but director Sam Mendes and producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli felt it would be ‘too distracting’ for the audience. Albert Finney was selected instead.
21. Steven Seagal once broke Connery’s wrist in a martial arts lesson during filming for Never Say Never Again.
22. Connery was asked to portray King Edward I in Braveheart, but was too busy working on Just Cause. Patrick McGoohan took the role instead.

Sir Sean Connery turned 86 yesterday ... so here


Pokémon Go became a pop culture phenomenon this summer.
The mobile game ensnared tens of millions of players around the world, began to impact upon the wider social landscape, and even became a cringe-inducing reference point for global political figures.
But it seems the augmented reality app could now be rapidly falling out of favour. Pokémon Go has reportedly lost around a quarter of its user-base in recent weeks, with player figures down 10 million on their peak in July. Those who fell in love with the game are apparently abandoning it in droves. But just why are people giving up on Pokemon Go?
Liam Gannon, 25, from Edinburgh, started playing Pokémon Go in early July, and was enthusiastic about sinking his time into the app.
“Pokémon was a large part of my childhood,” he explains, “so being able to collect all of the original 150 Pokémon was a large part of the attraction for me.
“It was a fun distraction on the journey to work, but when you see a Pokémon you want nearby it was really exciting. I remember sitting down in a cafe for breakfast in Tokyo and noticing a Farfetch’d nearby. I dropped everything to go and pursue that rare Pokémon. It was a wee bit thrilling.”
But after playing the game for roughly a month, that thrill had started to seriously diminish.
“Eventually the novelty wore off. The mechanics aren’t really deep enough to keep me invested in the game.
“On top of that it’s a major drain on my phone’s battery, and you can’t run it in the background, so to find Pokemon or hatch eggs you have to keep the app open.
“It’s not that I dislike the game now. It’s just too much effort.”
That claim of “too much effort” is almost directly echoed by another early adopter, Jack Nelson, who lives in Nice in France and stopped playing the game around two weeks ago.
“I stopped because you have to put in real effort to be any good at it,” he notes. “You can’t really play casually. I’d open it if I was on the bus and was bored, and then all you get is Pidgeys and Zubats and Ratatas.
“Yet you see gyms where people have CP 4000+ Dragonites and Laprases and Aerodactyls and it’s like ‘how much money and time and energy do I have to invest to even get close to these over-powered Pokémon, from people who probably dedicate themselves to Pokemon Go as much as athletes do to training for sport?’
“The app allows people with too much time and money to blitz everybody else and it’s just not enjoyable.
“And that’s if you’re in a city. If you live in the countryside there’s just nothing to do.”
Professor Mark Griffiths, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University, and director of the International Gaming Research Unit, wrote an article at the height of Pokémon Go’s popularity exploring its appeal.
"At the time, he cited its social nature, collection mechanics and ‘never-ending’ nature as reasons for its astonishing success. However, he now notes that these positives may in fact be back-firing for the game.
“Some of them can be turned on their heads as reasons for becoming unpopular – most notably the lack of novelty and the fact that if others in your peer group stop playing, it may lead others to stop playing.”
The researcher notes that his own son was an avid player at the start, but now feels the experience has become “boring”.
“Some players who started to ‘catch ’em all’ have now done that and don’t feel they need to do so anymore.
“There are also those who say it was taking too much time out of their day to carry on. There will also be those who didn’t realise it would take so much effort to catch them.”
In other words, the very things that made Pokémon Go so appealing in the short-term may now be making it far less so in the long-term.
Not everyone has given up though. Clare Longstaff from Yorkshire acknowledges that she’s personally grown tired of Pokémon Go: “As time goes on and the levels go up you have to collect more points, and it seems to be going on forever. We’re finding the same Pokémon and there’s nothing different. It’s boring and repetitive and they’re not changing it enough.”
But she’s also delighted that her nine-year-old son Jacob, who has autism, remains enraptured by the game.
“He likes repetition. He likes consoles and the iPhone and this gets him out of the house. It’s nice going out in the fresh air with him. Jacob’s still happy with it. And if he’s happy – I’m happy.”
Ben Dufton from Newcastle, meanwhile, suggests he’s settled into a sort-of love/hate relationship with the app, cycling between disinterest and avid excitement.
“As the levels progress and the same Pokémon are available I get bored, then all of a sudden there’s loads of new ones – so I get really obsessed again. It seems to go around in circles!”
With an estimated 30 million people still playing, the compulsion certainly remains as strong as ever for some. But that can’t hide the fact that for many, the novelty has worn off.

Whether the pet is a bird, cat, dog, fish, horse, reptile or small animal, Charlie was the clear winner with almost 34,000 of British pet owners choosing this name for their animal friend, topping the list of most common names for birds, cats and horses.
Poppy also proved to be a popular choice for many pets, particularly canines and felines, ranking at number one for dogs and number two for cats. Other common selections include Alfie, Bella, Billy and Molly.
George also ranked highly across all species with almost 10,000 of those taking part choosing this name within the top 50, again regardless of pet type, suggesting the young Prince’s influence may not end with toddler fashion and toys.
The world of entertainment, particularly children’s cartoons, appear to have had an effect on the names owners select. Bird based film Rio saw the film’s title rank in tenth place for birds, while classic cartoon character name Tweety came in at number 32.
Bestselling book A Cat Called Alfie may have inspired cat owners, with Alfie being the eighth most popular name for cats. Winnie the Pooh fans are meanwhile drawn to Tigger, which ranked at 11 in cat names. Demonstrating that classic films can still influence our decisions, Thumper, who appeared in the 1942 film Bambi, is still the seventh most chosen name for rabbits. Nemo, is the second most popular name for the nation’s fish following Goldie in first.
Gavin Hawthorn, Group CRM Director, said: “It’s interesting to see that just as popular culture and famous faces influence what we name our children, likewise, these trends can help the nation’s pet owners select a name for their animals. It seems likely that children being allowed to name their first animal friend forms a big part of the naming process, particularly among the film and TV inspired monikers.
“However, it also seems that books and even the Royal family are also helping Brits to decide on what to call their pet. Meanwhile Charlie and Poppy scored highly across species, suggesting that cute, traditional names will always appeal when it comes to naming our pets.”

The Sherlocks, singer songwriter Kiaran Crook, 20, brother and drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
But this is the biggest showcase weekend for the Bolton Upon Dearne indie quartet who have over 700 gigs to their name and have also just completed their first UK headline tour, selling out venues around the country, with their latest single Last Night getting lots of Radio 1 airplay.
Last year Kiaran, Brandon, Josh and Andy drew a huge number of fans before Sunday lunchtime at Reading, but a coveted evening slot on this year’s popular Festival Republic stage meant the crowds in the south were even bigger.
On a scorching summer evening the temperature in Berkshire was almost as high as the anticipation for the band of brothers’ 30 minute seven song set.
At exactly 5.45pm the lads, playing it cool as always, bounded on stage to kick off with single Last Night followed by favourites Escapade and Heart of Gold.
They continued with epic new song Candle Light, Live for the Moment and finished with Chasing Shadows as two giant beach balls flew back and forth across the arena.
Will You Be There?, which had one of its first plays at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, was another soaring highlight.

“That was astonishing” frontman Kiaran told us as he came off stage.
“Last year was truly memorable, but this year Reading has taken it to another level. We’re seeing crowd reactions we'd only ever seen in the north before.
“We love it down here and now we're buzzing even more for Leeds.”

Norma Winstone has kept her place at the front rank of UK jazz singing since she first came to notice at Ronnie Scott’s in the late 1960s.
Her renowned technical ability earned her this plaudit from ‘The Times’: “There is no jazz singer in the country to touch her . . ”
She will mark her 75th birthday with a special concert with her regular collaborators The Printmakers at the Crossley Gallery, Dean Clough, Halifax, on Thursday, September 15 at 8pm.
Mark Lockheart on saxophones, Nikki Iles on piano, Mike Walker on guitar, Steve Watts on bass and James Maddren on drums will join Norma in what promises to be a stunning performance.
While working in an office in the early 1960s, Norma started her career singing in local pubs in the London area.
She was offered her first stint at Ronnie Scott’s in 1966, initially cutting her teeth on jazz standards before developing her own improvisational style and working with the likes of Mike Westbrook, Michael Garrick, John Surman, Kenny Wheeler and John Taylor.
Norma was ‘top singer’ in a Melody Maker Jazz Poll in 1971 and released her first solo album ‘Edge of Time’.
In the late 1970s she joined forces with Kenny Wheeler and John Taylor in the trio Azimuth whose recordings became a by-word for excellence over the next 17 years. Even while collaborating with others, she kept her individual profile and her 1986 album ‘Somewhere Called Home’ is hailed as a classic.
In recent years she has been credited as a lyricist and worked with pianist Glauco Venier and sax/clarinet player Klaus Gesing, releasing ‘Distances’ in 2007.
