YORKSHIRE lost two vital wickets during the morning session as they battle to save their LV=County Championship match with Sussex at Hove.

By lunch on the final day they had reached 118 for four.

This meant they still needed 157 more runs to make their hosts’ bat again by the interval – with Monty Panesar picking up both of the Tykes wickets.

Anthony McGrath was the first to go for 44, before captain Andrew Gale was ousted in the penultimate over prior to lunch for 26.

At lunch the men in the middle for Yorkshire were Jonny Bairstow, on 24, and Gary Ballance, on two.
