SCARBOROUGH Cricket Club will lose at least £10,000 today as a result of Warwickshire's capitulation against table-topping Yorkshire.

There was some superb bowling yesterday from Darren Gough and Matthew Hoggard, but for the visitors to slump to 31 for seven after Yorkshire made 561 for seven was shameful.

Tim Ambrose's unbeaten 89 led the belated resistance on a sunny afternoon before they were all out for 222, but their overall incompetence in losing by an innings and 210 runs deprived festival-lovers of four sessions of cricket.

Although Sussex have a game in hand, their washout at the Oval left the previous leaders 14 points behind Yorkshire and Scarborough chairman Bill Mustoe took a philosophical view.

He said: "It's disappointing that we lose a day's gate, but the supporters are happy that they have seen a big Yorkshire win, taking them back to the top of the table.

"We just have to work harder to balance the books and we hope to have 6,000 here for Sunday's game against Surrey.

"We increased the revenue to Yorkshire last year and our current agreement with them is in place until 2010. We have a close relationship with them and have worked jointly to bring things like catering in-house.

"The atmosphere here is terrific. We have more fixed seating than any non-Test ground and it's a huge maintenance job, but we have good long-term sponsors and hope to hang on to our two championship games."

It is a measure of Scarborough's ambition that former Yorkshire captain David Byas has been appointed cricket manager and one of his tasks will be to oversee an academy.

Byas is one of five Yorkshire players to have scored double centuries for the county at Scarborough, but Jacques Rudolph failed by three runs yesterday to equal the highest when he was out for 220.

Vic Wilson, like Byas a local farmer who captained the team, made 223 in a first-class game against Scotland in 1951.

The other members of the select band are Herbert Sutcliffe and Younus Khan, who achieved the feat against Kent last month, and for it to happen twice in a season confirms the excellence of the pitch.

It is a batsman's paradise only against modest bowling, as Hoggard and Darren Gough quickly showed by bending their backs rather more than Warwickshire had done.

Gough beat Michael Powell three times in the first over, but it was Hoggard who sparked the slump by striking twice in the fourth over, just as he had in the first innings.

For the second time in the match Darren Maddy edged into the ultra-safe hands of Inzamam-ul-Haq at second slip, then four balls later Kumar Sangakkara was lbw.

The Sri Lankan edged the first ball he faced wide of first slip for four, but he could do nothing to counter the deadly late swing which sent him packing.

One of the world's top batsmen had lasted a total of six balls in the match, and without any contribution from him Warwickshire currently have little to fall back on.

In the next over left-hander Jim Troughton reached for a ball from Gough which was three feet wide of the off stump and slapped it to cover, where Adil Rashid dived to his left to hold an excellent catch.

Hoggard had taken three for seven in 14 balls when he produced another perfect away swinger to have Michael Powell caught behind.

Gough upstaged that with three for none in seven balls as Alex Loudon and Luke Parker edged to Gerrard Brophy and Heath Streak fended at another away swinger to be caught by Anthony McGrath at third slip.

When Ajmal Shahzad replaced Gough after lunch the pressure eased and Ambrose put on 95 in 22 overs with Alfonso Thomas.

The South African all-rounder made 42 before he edged a drive at Rashid and McGrath took a good catch at slip.

A further 49 were added with little difficulty before left-hander James Anyon hoisted a steepler to wide mid-on, where Gough clung on to give Rashid another wicket.

The leg-spinner found plenty of turn and would doubtless have fancied a repeat of his five-wicket haul on his debut here last year had the visitors' top order not folded so meekly.

Gough returned and was edged for three fours by last man Stuart Hole before Inzamam held a one-handed catch at slip to leave the Yorkshire captain with five for 52.

Yorkshire batted on for 50 minutes in the morning, adding 31 runs, to allow Tim Bresnan to complete his third hundred of the season, one of which was for the MCC.

Rudolph also had the opportunity to beat his career-best 222 not out for South Africa against Bangladesh, but after adding 12 to his overnight score he fell two short when he edged a drive to wicketkeeper Ambrose to give Alfonso Thomas his fourth wicket. He had batted for eight minutes short of seven hours.

Gough declared immediately when Bresnan completed his 124-ball century, which included 15 fours and a six.
