- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 angling in from round the wicket, pinned on the pads - and given! Height maybe a question, as he shuffled forwards, but the umpire deems it would have hit leg stump 18/19.5 pitched up and skewed to point! Hampton has a wicket with his fifth ball for Hampshire. Bean threw the hands at a drive but didn't get hold of it at all 28/214.2 nipping away on a fullish length, and that finds the edge! Wharton falls attempting an expansive drive, slightly squared up and swallowed at slip 56/323.2 tip and run to cover... and Malan is beaten by a direct hit! He gave it up on realising that he had misjudged the run, not even a stretch for the line as Stoneman dead-eyed the stumps. Yorkshire five down before lunch 96/519.2 slashed to third, Bairstow's first innings as skipper is a short one! Back of a length wide of off stump and he went to pile into it again... only for a big top edge to fly straight to the man back 71/431.1 edged behind, Brown takes a tumbling catch! Just a push in the channel from Hill and it takes the edge. Yorkshire's slide continues 110/730.2 dropped on a perfect length, spins past the bat - and kisses the off bail! Dawson has his first of the season and it's a beauty to the right-hander from round the wicket. Luxton was looking to defend but beaten by the turn 110/632.1 another one goes, Bess lbw playing across the line! Dawson is on the money again, spinning from middle and leg to hit the front pad 112/931.4 chopped on, Abbott has two in four balls! Good ball, nipping back on a length, but Coad plays footlessly and edges the ball into his leg stump. Hampshire have taken three for none in nine balls 110/834.4 goes for the reverse-sweep again, pinned in front! Looked pretty plumb. Dawson snaffles a third cheap one and Yorkshire have been bundled out after choosing to bat 121/10Extras5 (lb 5)TOTAL121 all out (34.4 Overs, RR: 3.49)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Adam Lyth, 6.5 ov), 2-28 (Finlay Bean, 9.5 ov), 3-56 (James Wharton, 14.2 ov), 4-71 (Jonny Bairstow, 19.2 ov), 5-96 (Dawid Malan, 23.2 ov), 6-110 (William Luxton, 30.2 ov), 7-110 (George Hill, 31.1 ov), 8-110 (Ben Coad, 31.4 ov), 9-112 (Dom Bess, 32.1 ov), 10-121 (Benjamin Cliff, 34.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.2 speared into the top of leg stump, Hill finally makes the breakthrough for Yorkshire! Maybe a drag-on from Stoneman, who had played well. Reward for Hill's thrifty start 70/141.2 spins to hit the inside edge and loop up off the front pad - and Bairstow scrambles around to take a diving catch! Jonny liked that one. Middleton misses out on a fifty as Bess chips out a third for Yorkshire 106/330.5 testing length, Gubbins pushes forward... and sends a thick edge to slip! White has his first for Yorkshire 86/265.3 Turned leg side, but there isn't a run there! Sharp pick up and throw from Will Luxton and Albert's dive for the line is in vain 176/654.2 bowled 'im, leg stump goes for a walk! Nipping back through a loose waft and Prest's sprightly knock is done with 151/457.4 keeps a touch low and raps Wheal on the back leg - given! Yorkshire pry out another late in the day 158/575.4 tossed up from round the wicket, Brown sweeps and is hit on the back leg - up goes the finger! He's frustrated with himself, but that looked pretty adjacent 203/783.5 pinged on the pads, gone! Looked like it would have troubled leg stump as Hampton flicked and missed. White gets his third of a persevering effort 227/884.5 good length and nibbling back to hit the front knee roll - that's plumb! 228/989.2 Baker misses a straight one... and Hampshire will miss out on a batting point! Hill gets a third to wrap up the innings 249/10Extras8 (lb 6, nb 2)TOTAL249 all out (89.2 Overs, RR: 2.78)Fall of wickets: 1-70 (Mark Stoneman, 24.2 ov), 2-86 (Nick Gubbins, 30.5 ov), 3-106 (Fletcha Middleton, 41.2 ov), 4-151 (Tom Prest, 54.2 ov), 5-158 (Brad Wheal, 57.4 ov), 6-176 (Toby Albert, 65.3 ov), 7-203 (Liam Dawson, 75.4 ov), 8-227 (Brett Hampton, 83.5 ov), 9-228 (Kyle Abbott, 84.5 ov), 10-249 (Sonny Baker, 89.2 ov)
- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 chipped straight to mid-on! Bean has lasted just two balls this time around. An early gift for Wheal and Hampshire 4/11.3 rapped on the knee roll, given! Wharton has gone first ball! Having conceded a lead of 128, Yorkshire are two down and already in a hole 4/216.2 tight line, and Malan has tickled behind! He was looking good but has to go, having scored two thirds of Yorkshire's runs. Good pace, bounce and movement in the channel, and Brown takes a tumbling catch 53/352.3 Baker does for Bairstow again! This one rips straight through him and flattens middle stump. Extra pace does the job, a slightly tired shot, and Hampshire have the breakthrough 158/452.6 and another one, Hill can't keep it out! Baker hammers a length, Hill is late on his defence and the ball bounces back past him into the stumps 162/5Extras28 (b 16, lb 6, nb 4, w 2)TOTAL189/6 (65 Overs, RR: 2.9)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Finlay Bean, 1.2 ov), 2-4 (James Wharton, 1.3 ov), 3-53 (Dawid Malan, 16.2 ov), 4-158 (Jonny Bairstow, 52.3 ov), 5-162 (George Hill, 52.6 ov), 6-187 (William Luxton, 60.5 ov)
