Leading by 139 in their first innings, the Welsh county advanced from 57-2 overnight to reach lunch at 178-2 – a lead of 317.
Yorkshire have been hurt by the loss of injured linchpin seamer Ben Coad (groin) and struggled against the experienced fourth-wicket pair.
Labuschagne offered a half chance on 11 to backward point off Jordan Thompson’s bowling, with Fin Bean diving to his left and only parrying the ball. It would have been a stunning catch.
Otherwise, they have looked very secure at the crease as they bid to take their side’s lead up to 400 and beyond.
Northeast uppercut Thompson for six over third-man before reaching an 88-ball fifty late in the morning and will begin the afternoon on 61. Labuschagne followed him to the same milestone not long afterwards off 104 balls, reverse sweeping Dom Bess for four. The Australian will resume unbeaten on 58.

11.34am – There are only two games in play in each of the Championship and the RHF Trophy around the country at the moment, here and at Notts, and up at Durham and Old Trafford in the RHFT. Rain is causing issues elsewhere.
11.30am – Ah, Fin Bean – on as sub – flings himself to his left at backward point after a full-blooded Labuschagne cut at Thompson. He can only parry it. Would have been a stunning catch. Labuschagne takes a single to move to 12. Glamorgan 74-2, leading by 213.
11.18am – The Diamonds are 42-3 in the 11th over against the Blaze. Winfield-Hill, Armitage and Kalis have fallen.

8.31am – Good morning from Headingley, where it’s a misty start to day three. But it’s dry, that’s the most important thing. We look all set for an 11am start.
Yorkshire have work to do, with Glamorgan 57-2 in their second innings and leading by 196. Marnus Labuschagne is at the crease.
By the players’ own admission, we have been far from our best so far this week, and it will certainly take something close to perfection from here to turn the contest around. Adam Lyth pointed to Leicestershire’s near 400 chase on day four last month to show what is possible, though admitted conditions for this game are very different to that.
The players are just about to start their warm-ups. One of the Glamorgan coaches is first out there setting up football nets at the Howard Stand End of the ground.
The Northern Diamonds are also in regional action today, a clash of the top two sides in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy at Durham – the league-leading Blaze are the visitors to the North East. That game is due to get underway at 10.30am, so we will keep you up to date with the action from there as well.
There will be a live stream available for both games, with this one at Headingley accessible via the match centre tab at the top of the page.
