YORKSHIRE V WARWICKSHIRE - DAY 1

Warwickshire won the toss and elected to bat but the day belonged to Yorkshire who followed up their impressive Pro40 bowling display against Glamorgan with another supreme effort.

Matthew Hoggard has been very succesful when appearing for the White Rose this season and this was another fine display from the England paceman. He sent back the dangerous Maddy (Inzamam's first Yorkshire catch) and Sangakkara both for 0 to leave the visitors 4 for 2. Troughton and Powell tried to steady the ship for the visitors but Yorkshire were well on top. Amjal Shahzad struck next having Troughton caught behind for 9 to make it 25 for 3, then four runs later Tim Bresnan struck to dismiss Powell for 14. Ambrose fell to Bresnan for 4 and then McGrath came on to get Parker for 1, 47 for 6. Loudon and Heath Streak then put together the first resistance of the innings. The pair dug and after lunch played a couple of good shots, they had put on 34 when Shahzad struck to have Loudon lbw for 33 (87 balls) Streak was next to go for 24 to McGrath, 107 for 8. Thomas 24 and Anyon 13 offered late resistance but Matthew Hoggard came back to dismiss them both. Hoggard took 4 for 33, Shahzad 2 for 31, Bresnan 2 for 28 and McGrath 2 for 12, a great effort by the Yorkshire seamers.

Vaughan and Gale had few problems getting to 25 for 0 before bad light ended play early.
