Warwickshire v Yorkshire

Warwickshire (186-6) beat Yorks (185) by 3 wickets

THE spectre of  Allan  Donald  again  loomed  over  Yorkshire  at
Edgbaston  yesterday.  Not quite on  the  scale  of  1995 when he
took   six   for   15   in   their   dismissal   for   56,    but
sufficient to influence the northern county`s first Sunday defeat
of the season, by four wickets, writes Mike Beddow.

In   completing   overall   figures   of   10   for    47    from
successive League meetings, Donald  twice  prevented  a Yorkshire
breakout towards something more substantial.

In his first spell, a leading edge to   mid-off   clipped  Darren
Lehmann`s  three-figure  average  from two Sunday innings, and in
his second, Bradley Parker was  denied  a  first  fifty   in  the
competition.

The highest partnership of 38 was  embellished   only   by  Peter
Hartley`s achievement in becoming the fourth  Yorkshire player to
make 1,000 runs and take 100 wickets in the league.

For     Warwickshire,     Dougie     Brown      again      batted
boisterously,  and  their task would have been simple but for the
loss  of Dominic Ostler and Trevor Penney within six  balls  from
Richard Stemp.  This reawakened a sterile contest and gave Ashley
Giles the opportunity to settle the result with 14 balls to spare
by driving Darren Gough for successive boundaries.
