Close: Yorkshire 48-4, 24 overs

Yorkshire looked to be on top, only for Hampshire to fight back impressively with the ball.

Adam Lyth 20, Matthew Revis 6.

Yorkshire 37-4, 19 overs

Ben Coad bowled Sonny Baker, 0.

Coad has inside-edged one on to his foot and seen leg-stump.

Oh no. James Wharton bowled first ball with a searing yorker.

Baker has taken three wickets in the over.

Yorkshire 37-2, 18.2 overs

Sam Whiteman lbw Sonny Baker, 14.

Yorkshire lose their second shortly before close. Hint of being high but the Yorkshire-born Aussie is on his way.

Ben Coad in as nightwatchman.

It's about getting through

If Yorkshire can get through to close without any further alarm, they will have had a really good day.

We have a bit more than eight overs remaining, and it’s 25-1, with Adam Lyth on 12.

 

 

Yorkshire 7-1, 10.4 overs

Yorkshire 0-0, 2 overs

A couple of maidens to start with for Hampshire’s South African new-ball pair Kyle Abbott and Codi Yusuf.

Replying to 251, Yorkshire will bat for 24 overs this evening. Adam Lyth and Fin Bean opening, as per usual.

Hampshire 251 all out, 69.1 overs

Jake Lehmann caught Matthew Revis bowled George Hill, 76.

Lehmann tries to clear the mid-wicket fence over towards the East Stand but can’t.

Revis takes a fine catch on the rope. Initially, thought he was going to palm it off before going over the ropes, but he completed it on his own.

Hill finishes with a superb 5-46.

Hampshire 251-9, 68.4 overs

Eddie Baker bowled Ben Coad, 17.

Kyle Abbott lbw George Hill, 0.

Hill strikes twice in four balls. Super stuff.

Three wickets for Hill. And, after some mid-afternoon resistance, Yorkshire have re-asserted their authority.

Hampshire 204-6, 54 overs

Liam Dawson caught behind Harry Duke bowled Ben Coad, 4.

Squared up with a bit of seam movement away from the right-hander. Lovely delivery.

Hampshire 199-5, 52.2 overs

Ben Mayes bowled Dom Bess, 39.

Much-needed breakthrough for Yorkshire, and it comes courtesy of the skipper, who bowls the England Under 19 through the gate.

Liam Dawson has just joined Jake Lehmann at the crease. The latter has 56.

Jake Lehmann 50

Lehmann reaches his fifty off 65 balls, taking Hampshire to 192-4.

Hampshire 161-4, 47th over

Half-century stand between Jake Lehmann 29 and Ben Mayes 28.

Hampshire 111-4, 37 overs

Ben Brown lbw George Hill, 15.

Huge wicket for Yorkshire as Brown shuffles down the crease but gets pinned in front.

Hampshire’s captain has a superb career record against Yorkshire, for Sussex and Hampshire. Not today, though.

Hill has his second wicket.

 

Hampshire 95-3, 32.2 overs

Nick Gubbins caught Fin Bean bowled Jack White, 43.

Pushed forwards, edged straight to Bean at third slip.

Jake Lehmann tries to repel his former county

A brief spell at Headingley at the end of 2016 was followed by similar at Lancashire.

Now left-handed Lehmann, son of Darren, is wearing the rose and crown of Hampshire.

He has 5 of 86-2 in the early stages of the afternoon.

Lunch: Hampshire 82-2, 28 overs

Nick Gubbins reaches the break on 40, Jake Lehmann 1.

Morning wickets for Jhye Richardson and George Hill.

Hampshire 76-2, 27 overs

Tom Prest lbw George Hill, 35.

Trapped in front half pushing forwards.

Prest looked really disappointed with the decision, thinking it was perhaps sliding down leg. Probably umpire’s call on DRS.

 

Jhye Richardson

Jhye Richardson celebrates dismissing Joe Weatherley.

Hampshire 43-1, 19.3 overs

Nick Gubbins has 20 and Tom Prest 21.

Pretty impressive recovery, really, in the face of some early movement.

Hampshire attempt to settle

Nick Gubbins and Tom Prest are trying to recover their side from the early wicket.

Hampshire 19-1.

White replaces Coad

Jack White into the attack for Ben Coad, who has bowled three overs.

Fully expect Dom Bess to utilise his seamers in short, sharp bursts.

Hampshire 11-1 in the seventh over.

Hampshire 1-1, 3.5 overs

Joe Weatherley caught behind Harry Duke bowled Jhye Richardson, 0.

Pushed forwards and feathered behind. Super start from the new-ball pair of Coad and Richardson.

Now for Jhye Richardson. He’s sharing the new ball and is bowling to Nick Gubbins.

Up and running...

Ben Coad has the new ball from the Howard Stand End, bowling to Joe Weatherley. Nick Gubbins is the other Hampshire opener.

Elsewhere in Division One

There are another four fixtures starting today in the top flight of the Championship.

Essex v Somerset at Chelmsford, Nottinghamshire v Glamorgan at Trent Bridge, Surrey v Leicestershire at the Oval and Sussex v Warwickshire at Hove.

In Division Two, Gloucestershire host Durham at Bristol, it’s Kent versus Northamptonshire at Canterbury, Lancashire against Derbyshire at Old Trafford and Middlesex v Worcestershire at Lord’s.

 

Good morning....

From Headingley, where it’s a dry and sunny day ahead of the start of our clash with Hampshire.

While Yorkshire drew away at Glamorgan last week, Hampshire were beaten inside three days at home to Essex – by an innings.

It certainly wasn’t the start new head coach Russell Domingo from South Africa would have hoped for, alongside his compatriot overseas duo Kyle Abbott and Codi Yusuf.

Yorkshire captain Jonny Bairstow is missing this match with a fractured right thumb. Harry Duke is set to come in to take the gloves, while Australian fast bowler Jhye Richardson comes in for his debut.

You can read our preview for this match, with Dom Bess, whose new contract was announced yesterday morning.

The live stream will be available once again just before play starts, linked at the top of the page.
