DERBYSHIRE V YORKSHIRE

Yorkshire were put in. White and Rudolph gave Yorkshire a great start against some erratic Derbyshire bowling. They put on a fine 122 for the first wicket before White went for 43 (72 balls, 6 fours) Rudolph, continued his fine form and had been the aggressor hammering anything short. He looked set for another ton but was bowled by Hunter for 81 after hitting 12 fours (91 balls). As McGrath and Younus Khan settled in, Derbyshire change bowlers Botha and Hunter gained a bit more control for the home side. McGrath was just starting to accelerate when he top edged a pull to be caught off Lungley for 32 (40 balls). Gale and Younus Khan knocked the ball around at a run a ball in the last eight overs. Gale hitting the first six of the innings. They looked for acceleration over the last five hours but Derby's bowlers battled back well. Younus was well caught for 45 (45 balls) again off Lungley. Although the board kept ticking over Yorkshire did not find the boundry as often as they would like. At the end of the 50 overs Gale was 40 not out (43 balls, 1 four & a six) and Pyrah 7 not out (9 balls). Yorkshire closed at 253 for 4, a decent total after being inserted.

Yorkshire's bowling was a bit wayward in the early stages but after Gough came off Kruis and Gillespie settled into good spells and two for Kruis and one for Gillespie reduced Derbyshire to 38 for 3, a good catch behind the stumps for Guy and two good slip catches for Rudolph. With all the worries over rain likely to hold up this game it was ironic that at 39 for 3 the players went off because the batsmen couldnot see the ball due to the sunlight. With eight overs lost the revised Derby target was 235. On the resumption Pyrah moved one away to have Traves Birt caught behind, 44 for 4. Botha and Pipe steadied the innings and then playing well went on the attack. Bresnan's and Pyrah's figures suffered as they both hit the ball hard. Gillespie came back into the attack and with the help of a fine Pyrah catch sent back Pipe for 37 (29 balls) after a partnership of 78. Bowling a full length Pyrah hit the stumps of Derby's remaining dangerman Botha who was out for 50 (66 balls). Darren Gough put in a fine spell at the finished and polished off the Derby tail as they were all out for 195. A fine all round bowling display from the Tyeks Gough 3-34, Gillespie 2-35, Kruis 2-24 and Pyrah 2-32.

DERBYSHIRE V YORKSHIRE - PREVIEW

Following the abandonment of the Warwickshire game Yorkshire face Derbyshire knowing that they need to win to keep any realistic hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals. David Wainwright keeps his place as the spinner in the squad and there must be a good chance that he will get his first start of the season probably at the expense of Deon Kruis. After recent successes it would be a major surprise if Richard Pyrah is left out.

Squad: White, Rudolph, McGrath, Younus Khan, Gale, Pyrah, Guy, Bresnan, Gough, Gillespie, Kruis & Wainwright.

Derbyshire who have won only once in the competition so far have the Australian duo Ian Harvey and Simon Katich in their squad. Ex Yorkshire batsman Chris Taylor normally does well against his former county.

WARWICKSHIRE V YORKSHIRE

Abandoned due to rain.

WARWICKSHIRE V YORKSHIRE - PREVIEW

Yorkshire face a tough task in a game they must win if they are to stand a serious chance of progressing in the competition. Not only must they beat the group leaders on their own patch but they must defy history. Yorkshire have only won two of the nine encounters between the sides in this competition.

Brophy is still absent injured so Simon Guy continues behind the stumps, there is a recall to the squad for David Wainwright who takes over as spinner from Adil Rashid.

Squad: White, Rudolph, McGrath, Younus Khan, Gale, Pyrah, Guy, Bresnan, Gillespie, Gough, Kruis and Wainwright.

Warwickshire are led by Darren Maddy who is doing an excellent job for the side having joined from Leicestershire during the close season. Maddy is a fine One Day player. Sri-Lankan Sangakara is a huge addition to the batting, one of the World’s top players in all forms of the game. Zimbabwean allrounder Heath Streak is a World Class opening bowler and useful late order batsman. Tim Ambrose is one of the player’s of the tournament so far, he has made a century and two fifties in his four games and so far averages 239.

YORKSHIRE V DURHAM - DAY 4

Yorkshire failed to add to their overnight score, Kruis falling to Onions with the second ball of the day. Onions finished with 5 for 53. Durham needed 131 to win, Yorkshire needed early wickets to be in with a chance, one each for Gough, Gillespie and Bresnan saw Durham wobble at 35 for 3 but unfortunately one of those early wickets wasn't the prolific Di Venuto whose 35 not out took Durham to a six wicket win.

YORKSHIRE V DURHAM - DAY 3

A good start to the day for Yorkshire with Gillespie and Gough bowling well and sending back overnight batsmen Mustard (59) and Benkenstein (68) to reduce Durham to for 322 for 6. That was as good as it got for Yorkshire as Ottis Gibson continued to be a thorn in their side. He made a rapid 71 (74 balls) and with the Durham tail wagging; Wiseman 27, Davies 21, Onions 21 and last man Claydon 14 not out Durham were finally dismissed for 481 a lead of 88. Gillespie was the pick of Yorkshire's bowlers with 3 for 73, Gough took 3 for 76.

A disasterous start to Yorkshire's second innings with Craig White dismissed by Onions to the third ball of the innings for 0. For the first time this season the Tykes find themselves under pressure. It got worse when Yorkshire's rock at the top of the innings Sayers fell to Gibson for 2 and then Onions, looking a bowler of International class, removed Younus to leave Yorkshire reeling at 17 for 3. McGrath and Rudolph then steadied the ship, they had put on 87 with McGrath looking solid but with the last ball before tea New Zealand off spinner Wiseman had sent back McGrath for 62 (86 balls, 11 fours) to leave Yorkshire in deep trouble at 104 for 4. Straight after tea Gibson got amongst the wickets again getting rid of Rashid to his fifth ball of a duck 111 for 5. Onions then hit Bresnan's stumps to remove him for nought, 116 for 6. Guy joined Rudolph, Rudolph playing well moved to his half century. Guy moved on to 28, partnership of 60 before Durham struck again, this time ex Yorkshire bowler Claydon getting into the act having Guy caught behind by Mustard. At 176 for 7 Yorkshire were only 88 ahead. The score moved to 199 before Gibson again got a crucial wicket sending back Rudolph for 79 (112 balls, 10 fours) the wickets kept falling, Onions getting Gough for the fourth duck of the innings. Yorkshire closed the day on 218 for 9 Jason Gillespie is 23 not out, the lead is only 130. For Durham Gibson has now taken 10 in the match (3 for 63), Onions has taken 4 for 53. Yorkshire need either a super human bowling performance or help from the weather if they are to maintain their unbeaten record tomorrow.

DURHAM V YORKSHIRE - DAY 2

West Indian Ottis Gibson ensured that Yorkshire's good score overnight did not become any better than that. Jacques Rudolph added 7 to his overnight score before being bowled by Gibson 111 (190 balls, 17 fours & 1 six). He then sent back Simon Guy for his overnight total of 25. Gough and Gillespie made 17 and 15 respectively as Yorkshire's innings closed on 393. Gibson 7 for 81.

Yorkshire made early inroads into the Durham batting, a wicket each for Gough and Gillespie reduced the home side to 17 for 2. The score then moved to 83 before Gillespie struck again sending back Muchall lbw for 48. Skipper Benkenstein then joined the Coetzer (who has represented Scotland at ICC level) and the pair brought Durham right back into the game. They put on 131 before McGrath came on and picked up his first wicket of the season, sending back 23 year old Coetzer for 91 (170 balls, 14 fours & 1 six) to leave Durham on 214 for 4. Keeper Mustard who took four catches in the Tykes innings joined Benkenstein. The Durham captain was happy to play the anchor role while Mustard (who has been in particularly good form recently) went on the attack. When bad light stopped play they had put on 79. Mustard 53 not out (66 balls, 10 fours) and Benkenstein 64 not out (155 balls, 8 fours). Durham stand on 293 for 4, 100 behind.

DURHAM V YORKSHIRE - DAY 1

Yorkshire won the toss and batted but were soon in trouble. Ottis Gibson sent back Joe Sayers for 4 and Anthony McGrath soon followed to Davies for 7 to leave the Tykes 35 for 2. Craig White dug in and was joined by Younus Khan. Watchful at first the pair had started to put Yorkshire into a strong position when after a partnership of 110 Gibson struck a double blow. Moving the ball about he forced White to leave one and he was bowled for a well made 64 (9 fours). Then fourteen runs later he took the vital wicket of Younus for 49 (8 fours) to leave Yorkshire on 158 for 4. A rebuilding job was required by Jacques Rudolph and Aidl Rashid. Rudolph went through to a very good 50 and Rashid played well to get to 30 when Davies induced him to give a catch to keeper Mustard. Bresnan joined Rudolph and at tea Yorkshire stood at 245 for 5. Bresnan played well getting to 27 before Gibson struck again removing him after a partnership of 51. Rudolph played some great shots going through to his century from 169 balls. Simon Guy came in at number eight and survived finishing the day 25 not out, Rudolph is 104 not out. Yorkshire closed on 351 for 6. For Durham Gibson took 4 for 70. Claydon demonstrated why Yorkshire chose to release him 0-94 from 17 overs.

DURHAM V YORKSHIRE - PREVIEW

Yorkshire travel to Chester-Le-Street looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season in the Championship. Yorkshire beat Durham in three days at Headingley.

Deon Kruis comes into the Yorkshire side for the injured Matthew Hoggard. Brophy is still out with an injured finger so Guy will be behind the stumps. Matthew Wood features in the first team squad for the first time this season.

Squad: White, Sayers, McGrath, Younus Khan, Rudolph, Rashid, Guy, Bresnan, Gough, Gillespie, Kruis, Wood (12th man) & Pyrah (13th man).

With Harmison, Plunkett and Collingwood on England duty the Durham side looks weaker than the one that played at Headingley. Quick bowler Graeme Onions will be a threat for Durham (or will he be picked by England?) as will the veteran paceman bowler Ottis Gibson. Skipper Benkenstein and the Aussie Di Venuto are the linch pins of the batting, keeper Mustard is in good form with the bat.

LANCASHIRE V YORKSHIRE

Yorkshire won the toss and batted. Craig White played a few nice shots in the early stages before Cork bowled him for 13. McGrath came in first wicket down and got off the a flyer taking three successive boundries off Anderson who went for seven an over in the early stages. Rudloph was solid rather than spetacular, the total moved on to 70 when Mahmood got Rudolph to edge behind to Sutton for 20. Younus Khan joined McGrath, McGrath was playing particularly well moved past 50. Younus moved effortlessly to 20, when Lancashire again struck at the right time. Croft having him caught behind by Sutton after a partnership of 46. Gale came under pressure from Murali but played well but after getting to 25 became the third Yorkshire batsman to go in the twenties as Mahmood claimed him, McGrath continuing to play really well at the other end. He went through to his first hundred of the season but things were not going so well at the other end. Pyrah, Rashid and Bresnan all went for single innings scores as the innings fell away. Guy helped stable things making 13 but Yorkshire's final score of 250 for 8 was a bit disappointing considering they had been 179 for 4. McGrath remained unbeaten on an outstanding 135 (138 balls with 13 fours and 2 sixes).

Yorkshire got off to a great start when skipper Gough sent back Chilton without a run on the board. After that things went wrong, chances were missed as Mal Loye and Brad Hodge took command. Adil Rashid was hit out of the attack as he was smacked for 30 in three overs. Pyrah's dismissal of Loye for a well made 52 to break up a partnership of 132 gave Yorkshire a chance of getting back into it. That chance was short lived as Hodge continued on to a fine century. Adil Rashid did get rid of Flintoft for 26 but Hodge continued on his merry way, when Lancashire got home with four overs to spare he was 141 not out (133 balls, 17 fours and 3 sixes). Lancashire 251 for 3 win by seven wickets. First time that Yorkshire have been well beaten this season, Rashid went for 74 in his ten overs, Younus Khan's six overs went at over seven. Pick of the bowlers was Jason Gillespie who went for 23 in his eight overs.

LANCASHIRE V YORKSHIRE - PREVIEW

The stage is set for what should be a thrilling Roses encounter at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Simon Guy deputises for the injured Brophy in the Yorkshire side. Deon Kruis returns to the squad. Andrew Gale and Richard Pyrah will be looking to step up from the good games they had against Loughborough. Pyrah has done well with the ball in the Friends Provident and will have gained alot of confindence from scoring his maiden first class ton during the week. Adil Rashid continues in the One Day side.

Squad: White, Rudolph, McGrath, Younus Khan, Gale, Pyrah, Rashid, Guy, Bresnan, Gough, Gillespie, Kruis (12th man), Shahzad (13th man).

Andrew Flintoft plays for Lancashire as a batsman, they look as strong a side as always with Mal Loye and Brad Hodge also included. Sri-Lankan wizard Muralitharan heads a strong bowling line up that includes England's James Anderson and Saj Mahmood.

Squad: Chilton, Anderson, Chappel, Cork, Croft, Flintoft, Hodge, Keedy, Loye, Mahmood, Muralitharan, Smith & Sutton.

YORKSHIRE V WORCESTERSHIRE

Yorkshire brought in Adil Rashid for his first limited overs start to the season, presumably to strengthen the batting as Brophy was injured. Guy behind the stumps. Worcester won the toss and batted. Moore went early to Gough, Solanki then joined Jacques, Jacques was unusually becalmed as the Worcester skipper did most of the scoring. They took the score to 63 when Rashid made an immediate impact bowling Jacques for 13. Smith bagged a pair in the Championship and made a single here before Pyrah came on and got him to drive to Darren Gough at mid on. Hick then joined Solanki. The pair looked like getting Worcester right back into the game. Solanki had progressed to 46 when cut hard a Bresnan and was brilliantly caught by Pyrah, 113 for 4. Pyrah (2-31) and Rashid (1-27) bowled economical spells in the middle of the innings. Ex England batsman dominated the latter part of the Worcester innings making 86 not out (87 balls). He and Kabir Ali 22 not out (11 balls) hit well towards the end of the innings, Darren Gough suffering as he went for 68 from his ten. Tim Bresnan took 3 for 43 as Worcester closed on 215 for 7.

Only 10 balls of the Yorkshire innings were bowled before the rain ended the game. No result.

YORKSHIRE V WORCESTERSHIRE - PREVIEW

Yorkshire have named an unchanged squad for the Friends Provident game v Worcestershire:

Squad: Whtie, Rudolph, McGrath, Younus Khan, Pyrah, Brophy, Gale, Bresnan, Patterson, Gough, Gillespie, Gilbert & Wainwright.

Guy will come in for Brophy if Brophy doesnot recover from the finger injury that forced him to sit out the final day of the Championship game. Patterson was expensive against Leicester last Monday it will be interesting to see if Yorkshire inlude left arm spinner Wainwright to give them a spin option.

Worcester have plenty of talented One Day players, Jacques, Hick, Batty and Solanki mean this will be no easy game.

YORKSHIRE V WORCESTERSHIRE - DAY 4

Yorkshire had to wait an hour for the break through. Then Bresnan came on and made an immediate impact taking three in four balls. Jacques out for 21, Smith bowled first ball and then Hick second ball to a brilliant Younus catch. Rashid then got into the act dismissing captain Solanki for 19. Bresan then got a fourth went he sent back Batty. On keeper Davies offered any resistance with 38. Leg spinner Rashid maintained his fine form working his way through the lower order as the visitors were bowled out for 132. Bresnan's remarkable figures 10-6-10-4, Rashid took 4-47.

YORKSHIRE V WORCESTERSHIRE - DAY 3

Rain delayed play until 2.30pm, Yorkshire soon made up for lost time. This was a terrific Yorkshire bowling performance. The tone was set up in the opening over when Gough dived full length to cath Jacques for 38 off Hoggard. Hoggard and Gough were bang on target and Yorkshire's fielders backed them all the way. Rudolph clung on to a good slip catch, Rashid caught one close in and McGrath held on at third slip. Hoggard showing his best form ended with 5 for 34, Gillespie 3 for 56 and there was a wicket for Rashid and Gough as Worcestershire fell for 129.

Following on Worcester soon lost Moore caught off Gough with the score on 14.

YORKSHIRE V WORCESTERSHIRE - DAY 2

Play got underway on time. Sayers and McGrath took the score to 227 (50 partnership) before McGrath was trapped in front for 19 to one that kept low. Sayers continued to look solid and played some nice shots to go through to his second century of the summer. Younus Khan went cheaply for 12, Rudolph came in and started playing a series of fine shots. He was missed early on, Sayers moved onto 123 before finally falling for 123.

Brophy and Rudolph increased the scoring rate, Brophy continuing his good recent form. The pair put on 102 before Nel got Brophy lbw for 44. Bresnan and Gough both hit well, while Rudolph continued towards his second Yorkshire ton in the Championship. When Yorkshire's declaration came Rudolph was 129 not out (191 balls, 17 fours and 1 six). Bresnan was dismissed for 33 and Darren Gough was 22 not out from 19 balls. Gough called it a day at 521 for 7.

Yorkshire picked up two early wickets before the close, Hoggard removing Moore for 0 and Gillespie bowling Solanki for 5. Ex Yorkshire player Phil Jacques has played well 38 not out. Worcester have closed the day on 57 for 2.

YORKSHIRE V WORCESTERSHIRE - DAY 1

Yorkshire won the toss and batted. They made slow but solid progress as White and Sayers moved the score to 72-0 at lunch, Sayers was missed early but the openers laid a nice platform for Yorkshire. Worcestershire bowlers Sillence and Nel have bowled tightly for the visitors. Yorkshire's openers started positively after lunch (5 an over in the first five overs) and both completed well made half centuries. The pair continued to play some fine shots, White took toll on anything loose from Batty. He moved to within site of his century when caught behind by Davies off Sillence for 97 (169 balls, 17 fours), first wicket down at 177. McGrath joined Sayers, who continued to accumulate, although he had increased his strike rate to 43 per 100 balls. When the rain came to end play for the day Sayers stood 86 not out (another fine display of concentration) and McGrath 7 not out. Yorkshire 202 for 1.

YORKSHIRE V WORCESTERSHIRE - PREVIEW

Following the draw with Hampshire Yorkshire will hope to get back to winning ways against bottom of the table Worcestershire. Craig White returns to the side in place of the injured Michael Vaughan.

Team: White, Sayers, McGrath, Younus Khan, Rudolph, Brophy, Rashid, Bresnan, Gough, Gillespie & Hoggard.

Although bottom of the League Worcester will be no pushovers. There batting is headed by Phil Jaques; well known to Yorkshire supporters after his succesful season at the club in 2005. The side is skippered by Vikram Solanki and ex test player Graeme Hick continues to be a heavy run scorer in the Worcester ranks. England International Gareth Batty provides offspin and useful lower order batting. Another England International Kabir Ali is the pick of their quicker bowlers.

YORKSHIRE V LEICESTERSHIRE

Yorkshire won the toss and batted. Jacques Rudolph opened the innings with Craig White but White soon went for 11. The in form Gerald Brophy came in at number three and he helped Rudolph at 42, scoring 36 of themselves in a fine display of hitting with 7 fours in a 22 ball stay. Rudolph continued to accumulate runs in good style but there was little substance to Yorkshire's middle order, Younus Khan went early while McGrath 20 and Gale 17 got starts but failed to take advantage against some good bowling by the Western Australian medium pacer Allenby who took 3 for 44. Rudolph went through to his second Yorkshire ton from 166 balls with 10 fours but then immediately went to Cummins leaving Yorkshire 229 for 7. Some good late hitting by Bresnan 32 not out (21 balls, 3 fours and a six) and Gillespie 15 not out (8 balls, 1 six) got Yorkshire up to a slightly disappointing 282 for 8.

Gough and Gillespie struck early to reduce the Foxes to 34 for 2 but then the game was taken away from them by Man of the Match Allenby and the South African Ackerman. They put on 131 before Ackerman went to Pyrah for 66 (80 balls) but that was snails pace compared to Allenby whose 84 came off 66 balls with 7 fours and 4 sixes. He was also removed by Pyrah. Harsh treatment was dished out to Patterson (40 runs in 4 overs), Bresnan (69 runs in 9) and Younus Khan (32 runs in 4). An unbroken partnership of 94 between Nixon (42 not out) and Sadler (59 not out) took Leicestershire to a six wicket victory with 16 balls to spare. Pyrah's 2 for 15 was the highlight of Yorkshire's bowling attack.

YORKSHIRE V LEICESTERSHIRE - PREVIEW

Yorkshire look to maintain their 100% record in the Competition when they entertain useful One Day side Leicestershire.

Craig White looks set to return to the side in Vaughan's absence and Andrew Gale keeps his place in the One Day side. There is again no place in the side for Matthew Hoggard. Young paceman Steve Patterson is also included. The spinning role could well be filled by White bowling offspin but there is a first call up this season for the Corridor sponsored David Wainwright. Wainwright in addition to his left arm spin can bat and has been in form with that for the seconds.

Squad: White, Rudolph, Younus Khan, McGrath, Gale, Brophy, Bresnan, Gough, Gillespie, Pyrah, Gilbert, Wainwright and Patterson.

Leicestershire have England World Cup pair keeper Paul Nixon and paceman Stuart Broad. Hylton Ackerman is their useful South African batsman and Jeremy Snape is very handy in the short form of the game. On Sunday the Foxes took on Scotland in the Friends Provident and secured a last ball win by four wickets. Paul Nixon was the man in form making 60.

HAMPSHIRE V YORKSHIRE - DAY 4

An early wicket for Yorkshire when Gillespie continued his good form of late by bowling nightwatchman Bruce for 4. Yorkshire were then held up by a 94 run partnership by Adams and Crawley; Hoggard, Gillespie, Rashid, Bresnan, Gough, McGrath and Rudolph all tried without success to break the partnership. Gough threw the ball to Younus Khan for the last over before lunch and his great game continued when he had Crawley caught by Rudolph for 50. At lunch Hampshire were 324 runs behind with 7 wickets remaining.

Ex Yorkshireman Michael Lumb joined opener Adams and they took the score to 198 (82 partnership) before Younus struck again dismissing Adams for a well made 90 (188 balls, 14 fours). Caught McGrath, the same pair then teamed up to remove Benham for 5. Lumb continued to fustrate his former team mates until Younus did the trick again with the help of a Rudolph catch as Lumb went for 57. Adil Rashid then got the wicket of Ervine but Pothas and Warne held up Yorkshire. Warne was in agressive form and made 33 from 34 balls in a 50 run partnership. The new ball was taken and Gillespie took the wicket of his fellow Austrailian with the aid of Rudolph's fourth catch of the innings. Yorkshire needed two wickets but could not break through, Pothas held on to be 76 not out and Clark was 3 not out as play ended in a draw with Hampshire on 366 for 8.

HAMPSHIRE V YORKSHIRE - DAY 3

With the overnight news that Michael Vaughan would be unable to bat Yorkshire started the day in some trouble, effectively 49 for 3. The fighting qualities instilled by Moxon and Gough were then displayed by an excellent stand between Younus Khan and nightwatchman Matthew Hoggard. The pair put on a partnership of 152 with regular number eleven Hoggard contributing a fine 61 before he was dismissed by Shane Warne. Jacques Rudolph made 22 but the innings was dominated by Younus, a century maker in the first innings he went through to his second innings ton from 103 balls with 12 fours. On Rudolph's departure to Stuart Clark, Brophy came in and continued his good form of late. and at tea Yorkshire had moved on to 319 for 4.

After the interval Younus and Brophy continued to bat superbly. Younus went through to a double century 290 balls and Brophy playing a spectacular innings made his first Yorkshire ton from 115 balls. They had put on an unbroken 194 when Gough declared at 439 for 4 leaving Hampshire to make 443 to win.

Hampshire had nine overs batting to the close and Yorkshire's great day was complete when first innings century maker Brown was caught behind by Brophy off Gillespie for 8. Close of play 16-1.

HAMPSHIRE V YORKSHIRE - DAY 2

Hampshire looked set for a large first innings lead when they lost only one wicket and dominated the morning session. Opener Brown made a fine century, he put on 68 for the first wicket with and then 90 with John Crawley (32) for the second wicket as Hampshire stood on 158. Fine bowling by Tim Bresnan, well supported by Jason Gillespie then brought Yorkshire back into the game. Bresnan who had taken the first wicket, dismissed Crawley and then sent back ex team mate Michael Lumb for 5. Brown went to Bresnan for 105 (15 fours) before Jason Gillespie got into the act dismissing Ervine, Warne and Clark to reduce Hampshire to 232 for 8. Nick Pothas then made a good 70 to add substence to the lower order but when Rashid dismissed last man Tomlinson, Hampshire stood 3 runs behind Yorkshire on 296. Bresnan 4-65, Gillespie 3-40 and Rashid 2-79. Five victims for the in form Gerald Brophy behind the stumps.

When Yorkshire went back in to bat there were 14 overs left for play. It was not a good 14 overs for Yorkshire. Australian Stuart Clark sent back Joe Sayers for 6 and Anthony McGrath for 7. In addition Michael Vaughan was forced to retire hurt. At the close Younus Khan and nightwatchman Matthew Hoggard are unbeaten, Yorkshire stand at 49-2.

HAMPSHIRE V YORKSHIRE - DAY 1

Craig White was the unlucky one left out of the side to accomodate Michael Vaughan's return. Mark Lawson was also left out of the 13.

Darren Gough won the toss and chose to bat, Sayers and Vaughan put on 57 before Sayers departed for 17, Vaughan started to slowly but started to play some nice shots prior to lunch. Anthony McGrath joined him and stayed for 30 deliveries until out in the last over before lunch to Warne for 7. Yorkshire lunched at 77 for 2. Vaughan, playing increasingly well was joined by Younus Khan after lunch and the England captain soon completed his half century. After a partnership of 55 and having made a stylish 72 Yorkshire lost Vaughan run out. Rudolph soon went caught behind off Australian test bowler Stuart Clark to leave Yorkshire tottering on 149 for 4. Younus Khan completed a good 50 soon after. Brophy went quickly for 13. Younus was then joined by Rashid and they put together a valuable stand of 99, Khan going on to his first Yorkshire Championship century (151 balls, 14 fours) before falling to quick bowler James Bruce. Two runs later and Rashid who had made 54 (87 balls, 5 fours) went. Yorkshire fell away tamely after as Bruce ran through the lower order taking 4-56 the last five wickets fell for 17, Yorkshire all out 299.

Hampshire openers Adams and Brown survived the last eight overs of the day 25-0.
