Tykes get a sniff of victory
4:23pm Friday 15th August 2008
Yorkshire captain Darren Gough was today looking to Adil Rashid to spin the Tykes to victory in the final session of the County Championship clash with Lancashire at Old Trafford.
Leg-spinner Rashid, Tim Bresnan and Matthew Hoggard took a wicket apiece to reduce the hosts to 53 for three at tea on day four.
Yorkshire, who declared at 400 for six in their first innings, will claim at least 12 points for the draw but had 32 overs to take seven more wickets.
Lancashire opener Paul Horton took tea on 37 not out with his side still 116 runs short of making Yorkshire bat again.
