Kyle Verreynne edged Jack White to second slip just before lunch, where Notts reached at 318-6, leading by 397.
The visitors became increasingly aggressive after the break, with Patterson-White and Lyndon James both holing out to mid-on and mid-off against White and Coad. The latter fell to an excellent diving catch on the run from White at mid-off as the score slipped to 333-8, a lead of 402.
The lead was then boosted to the tune of 60 inside eight overs as Brett Hutton, in particular, and Pennington went in search of quick runs prior to a declaration.
Hutton crashed four fours and two sixes in 44 not out off 26 balls as Yorkshire had to contend with the loss seam-bowling all-rounder Thompson midway through his 16th over with what looked like a side issue.
Yorkshire will be sweating on his fitness ahead of the start of the T20 Blast later this week.
The White Rose then started their chase well.
Opener Lyth’s 44 meant he followed Notts’ opener and captain Haseeb Hameed to the 700-run mark in Division One this summer. They are the two batters leading the way in the top-flight.
Lyth shared 40 with Fin Bean, who was first to go for 17 when trapped lbw by Pennington.
Either side of tea, the left-hander then shared 74 for the second with Wharton.
However, Patterson-White’s intervention – getting Lyth and Malan – dampened any rising Yorkshire hopes, leaving the score at 132-3 in the 31st over.
Wharton reached his fifth fifty of the season off 75 balls, but he followed no longer after as he was trapped in front playing forwards against the same bowler with the score on 160.
Patterson-White finished with an excellent 3-25 from 14 overs, and Pennington had Duke caught behind with what proved the day’s final ball to further strengthen Nottinghamshire’s position.
