Tim Bresnan
“We’ve got a very useful lead, and it’s massive for us. We said this morning ‘If we can turn up and be on the better end of all three sessions, we’ll be in a great position to try and get a win’.
“It’s nice to finally get five wickets because it doesn’t happen very often. I felt in decent rhythm, and the boys applied a lot of pressure this morning and last night (day one), so it was a nice to finish them off.
“(Lack of five wicket hauls). It’s probably down to not having the new ball. Usually, bowling with the new ball is easier to get a hatful of wickets rather than three or four. Our new ball bowlers seem to do the job most often. It’s up to Steve Patterson and myself to do the grunt work and pick up twos and threes.
“I’ve not been really good enough this year, so it’s nice to finally get a few runs and wickets and help the team towards winning games.”
Close. Very positive day for

Lunch Report
Tim Bresnan has helped put Yorkshire in a strong position against Hampshire at Emerald Headingley, completing his first Championship five-for in a little over two years.
Bresnan took the first three Hampshire wickets to fall during the second morning of the penultimate Specsavers Division One match of 2018, with the visitors reaching lunch at 156-9 in response to 184.
They advanced from 79-5 overnight, with Bresnan claiming five for 27 from 12 overs so far.
Hampshire scored 77 in 40 overs this morning.
Bresnan, 33-years-old, had Kyle Abbott lbw for eight, Tom Alsop caught at second slip for 24 and Liam Dawson superbly caught and bowled one-handed for 10 as the score fell to 110-8 in the 42nd over.
Matthew Waite bowled Ian Holland to delay lunch with Hampshire nine down, but Gareth Berg and Fidel Edwards held out and will resume on 24 and nine respectively.
Holland gone! Bowled by

12.15pm Hampshire 124-8 in the 50th over of their reply to 184. It has been slow progress from the visitors this morning around the wickets, which wasn’t what I was expecting to be honest. I was thinking they might have a dart in tough conditions. Holland and Berg together.
11.44am Dawson gone! Bresnan gets him caught and bowled one-handed off a leading edge. Super catch. Bresnan has five-for. 110-8.
Alsop gone! He’s guided

11.30am Hampshire have moved to 106-6. The weather this morning has the feeling of early April rather than mid to late September. Not the day to be grazing at long-leg.
OUT! Abbott lbw

A quick reminder of a special moment from yesterday
Can’t put into words how honoured and privileged I am to have received my first team county cap today for

10.58am A couple of plastic bags are whizzing around the outfield in front of the Carnegie Pavilion, highlighting the blustery conditions. Hampshire 90-5.
10.52am A quiet start to the day has seen Hampshire advance to 85-5 in reply to 184.

WATCH: Highlights from the Specsavers County Championship fixture between Yorkshire and Hampshire County Cricket Club.#YourYorkshire
— Yorkshire CCC (@YorkshireCCC) September 19, 2018
Good morning from Emerald Headingley, where it is bright and breezy ahead of day two of our Specsavers County Championship match with Hampshire.
This penultimate round fixture is fascinatingly poised despite the loss of 17 overs to weather yesterday. We have the room to make up eight of them later on today depending on bad light.
Hampshire, replying to Yorkshire’s 184, reached close at 79-5, with two wickets each for Tim Bresnan and Jack Brooks.
Assuming Worcester lose their match at Essex, with the hosts 252-5 in reply to 94 all out, Yorkshire will need just nine more points to secure safety – a tally which would eliminate Lancashire from the race.
Enjoy the day.
