DURHAM lost their last six wickets for 38 runs to the new ball this morning to be all out for 265.

Yorkshire led by 195, but continued their usual policy of not enforcing the follow-on and reached 17 without loss at lunch.

The decision may have been partly influenced by the absence of Steve Patterson for family reasons, but the other three seamers had little trouble in polishing off Durham.

With the floodlights on at the outset Yorkshire had to bowl the spinners. But after a brief break the dark clouds cleared and the new ball was taken with the score on 226 for four.

Jack Brooks had Graham Clark lbw for 25 with his second ball and Ryan Pringle went the same way for one.

Inbetween Michael Richardson edged the same bowler to second slip, where Adam Lyth held a low catch, his third of the innings.

Jack Burnham had survived for more than three hours, facing 154 balls for 49, when Ryan Sidebottom produced a beauty to rattle his off stump.

Four wickets had gone down for 11, but Graham Onions repaid Sidebottom for bouncing him by lifting him for four to long-on followed by a straight six.

Onions and Barry McCarthy put on 29 before the Irishman inside-edged Tim Bresnan for Andrew Hodd to take a good catch to his left.

Onions was last out for 19 when he tried another big hit off Sidebottom and was bowled.

Alex Lees signalled that Yorkshire will not hang about in building an impregnable lead when he lifted Chris Rusworth over extra cover for four.
