Jack Brooks
“We didn’t have the best of it yesterday, so we knew today was huge and we’d probably have to win all three sessions to get ourselves back in the game. I’d like to think we’ve done that.
“As a unit, we went out there and bowled well and sustained pressure, and we got our rewards.
“We didn’t get off to the best start in the second innings, but Gary and Tom have shown what can happen when the ball gets a bit older. You can dig in and tick off the runs. Hopefully we can do that for a couple of sessions tomorrow and don’t get too far ahead of ourselves.
“You wouldn’t be too disappointed to be in Lancashire’s position knowing that if you got a couple of early wickets you’d be in amongst the all-rounders and the tail. It’s going to be a huge first session tomorrow to see who dictates the game.
“Even if we have a shocker and get bowled out with a lead of 150, we’re still in the game. Ideally we want more than 200.
“I bowled horribly yesterday. I was really disappointed with myself. I didn’t hit my straps how I’d like. But I came in with a different mindset and different plans this morning. I was a lot more relaxed and got wickets early. From there, I built.”

Tea Report
Yorkshire had a mixed afternoon session on day two against against Lancashire at Emerald Headingley, with the visitors still on top.
Lancashire, replying to a first-innings 209 in this Specsavers County Championship relegation battle, had reached 145-1 before lunch and began the afternoon on 165-4.
But they were bowled out for 252, a lead of 43, as Jack Brooks claimed a superb 5-66.
Unfortunately, however, Yorkshire then slipped to 19-2 in their second innings and reached tea at 25-2, a deficit of 18.
Two of Brooks’ wickets came after lunch, while Matthew Waite also picked up two cheap scalps.
There would have been a touch of frustration at allowing Lancashire a second batting point for passing 250 when they slipped to 221-9. But overall this was a superb White Rose effort with the ball today.
Brooks trapped Alex Davies lbw in his first over after lunch – the second in all – for 87 before getting Josh Bohannon the same way.
Waite then had Tom Bailey caught behind and Graham Onions bowled as the score fell to 221-9, with South Africa Test left-arm spinner hitting three leg-side sixes in 38 to boost the total before he was superbly caught at long-on by Steve Patterson off Ben Coad to wrap up the innings.
Bailey and Onions then struck with the ball in successive overs as the former trapped Jeet Raval lbw and the latter had Adam Lyth caught behind as Yorkshire fell to 19-2 in the eighth over.
Lyth gone! He’s been caught behind off Onions for 7.

2.27pm Lamb gone! He’s been caught behind driving at Tim Bresnan. 212-8. Lancashire lead by three.

Lunch Report
Jack Brooks led an impressive second morning with the ball for Yorkshire as they fight back against Lancashire at Emerald Headingley.
Lancashire, replying to 209, have advanced from 105-0 to 165-4 at lunch on day two, including three of the four wickets to fall going to Brooks.
The other fell to Ben Coad with the first ball of the day.
Alex Davies remains unbeaten on 86 with Josh Bohannon for company on five.
Coad had Karl Brown (43) caught behind down leg in the 36th over of the innings to give Yorkshire a flying start to the day.
Brooks then had Steven Croft caught at second slip, leaving the score at 145-2 in the 48th, before nipping one back at Liam Livingstone to bowl him four and a half overs later.
And when he trapped Dane Vilas lbw for a duck, Lancashire were 157-4 in the 56th.
Yorkshire have bowled a much more probing line this morning, putting Lancashire under the cosh.
Vilas gone! Fourth wicket of a positive morning for
YorkshireCCC</a>, the third to <a href="https://twitter.com/BrooksyFerret?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">BrooksyFerret. Vilas lbw for nought. 157-4 #YourYorkshire— Yorkshire CCC (@YorkshireCCC) September 11, 2018
11.55am Livingstone gone! Brooks picks up a key wicket, bowling the Lancashire skipper for 7. 153-3, trailing by 56.
Ballance can’t cling on at mid-wicket as Livingstone clips Patterson just to his right on six. Looks like he’s sustained an injury to his finger. 152-2 now.

10.12am There will be a 15-minute delay to proceedings, but we will make that up later on.
Good morning from Emerald Headingley, where there is a bit of mopping up to do after some overnight rain.
A start on time is in doubt at the minute, with water on the covers. The players are currently using the indoor nets over in the East Stand.
When play does get underway, Yorkshire have work to do.
Lancashire, despite Tom Kohler-Cadmore’s brilliant century, enjoyed a dominant day one, bowling Yorkshire out for 209 and responding with 105-0.
We will keep you posted.
