YORKSHIRE V HAMPSHIRE - DAY 1

A rain effected opening day for the Tykes and not a good one. Joe Sayers came in for Anthony McGrath but he didn't last long going for 6, following Andrew Gale 0, back to the pravilion. Michael Vaughan's 26 was the best knock for Yorkshire in the early stages but when he fell and Jacques Rudolph then went for 0, Yorkshire were in big trouble at 46 for 4. Inzimam and Brophy offered some resistance with Inzimam completing his Championship half century, he went on 51 (83 balls, 9 fours) to Bruce. Brophy's 41 (84 balls, 6 fours) was the only other innings of substence as Yorkshire closed on 161 for 7.
