A magnificent unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 160 between Gary Fellows and Craig White rushed Yorkshire to victory over Surrey in the resumed Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy fourth-round match at Headingley today.

There were 11 balls to spare when Yorkshire reached their 244 target to earn a home tie with Warwickshire in the quarter-finals.

Man-of-the-match Fellows finished with an unbeaten 80, his highest score in any form of cricket for Yorkshire, while White's 73 was his best score of the season.

The pair came together when Yorkshire were a shaky 84 for four in poor light last night and by the time the winning run was hit, Fellows had received 80 deliveries and struck eight fours and White had faced 88 balls and hit five boundaries.

Yorkshire were 134 for four when they continued their innings today with Fellows on 18 and White 29 and there was never a shaky moment as they dashed singles at every opportunity.

Surrey's seven-man attack soon began to wilt and both batsmen scored many of their runs from superbly timed cuts, the pair going to their half-centuries off consecutive balls from Ben Hollioake, White's single also taking the partnership into three figures.

Even spinner Saqlain Mushtaq was unable to make any impression and his eight overs cost him 48 runs.

Fellows said after picking up his first one-day award: "I think this was my best innings and I went into it just trying to be positive and to play straight.

"It turned out to be quite easy in the end but Craig and I knew when we went out that we had to try to score as many singles as possible and wait for the bad balls.

"The hardest part was on Wednesday night when the light was poor but we did not want to come off until we had gone ahead on the Duckworth-Lewis system for calculating rain-hit matches just in case they could be no further play."

Skipper David Byas praised the efforts of both batsmen. "Gary has been playing well all season and I am delighted he picked up the man-of-the-match award. Craig batted equally well and, although he has not made a lot of runs so far, I knew that a big score was just around the corner."
