Vaughan hopes harmed

Steve Harmison dealt a blow to former England team-mate Michael Vaughan's hopes of a recall to the national team in time for this summer's Ashes in Yorkshire's LV County Championship match at champions Durham.

Harmison, another England hopeful this summer, produced a brutish delivery which Vaughan was judged to have fended through to wicketkeeper Phil Mustard. An unhappy Vaughan stood his ground after being given out, but had to go after making just 24.

Harmison also took the wicket of Jacques Rudolph, for 51, while Gerard Brophy made 75 and Tim Bresnan 40 as Yorkshire closed on 264 for six. Earlier, Durham were bowled out for 362 with Mustard left stranded on 94.

Sussex all-rounder Luke Wright mopped up Lancashire's tail in taking figures of five for 80, but it did not prevent the Red Rose county from taking a slender first-innings lead.

Lancashire were bowled out for 299 mid-way through the afternoon session, to take a lead of just 10 runs.

In-form paceman James Anderson, who took six first innings wickets, then struck twice before tea and Gary Keedy three times after the interval - including the wicket of England's Matt Prior for a duck - to leave Sussex 148 for five at the close. Ed Joyce, another of Keedy's victims, made 55.

Warwickshire lost early wickets in their pursuit of Hampshire's first innings total of 379, but Jim Troughton's unbeaten century steadied the ship.

The Bears lost openers Tony Frost (four) and Darren Maddy (eight) cheaply to at one stage be 12 for two. And while Jonathan Trott (22) and Ian Bell (29) also fell before the close, Troughton (100 not out) and Tim Ambrose (47 not out) shared an unbeaten stand of 104 to guide their side to 224 for four.

Nottinghamshire enforced the follow-on and then took three early second-innings wickets to reduce Worcestershire to 24 for three - still 127 runs short of Notts' first-innings total.

Worcestershire were all out for 354 first time round, despite 126 from Steve Davies, Stuart Broad finishing with five wickets for 79. And the Pears' woes continued with Daryl Mitchell (nine), Stephen Moore (four) and Chris Whelan (nought) all falling before the close, Andre Adams taking two wickets.
