On-loan seamer Chris Wright may have earned a contract with the Bears by taking seven wickets in the match, but the win by an innings and 58 runs puts Yorkshire into deep relegation trouble.

Warwickshire are now just three points adrift of leaders Lancashire, while Worcestershire will move above the Tykes after their match at Southampton ends and a victory would make Yorkshire's position even more dire.

The Pears should wrap up the win as Hampshire are only 59 ahead with four second innings wickets and one day remaining.

Lancashire and Hampshire will both be in action on Saturday on the finals day of the Friends Life T20, with Hants2/1 to retain the crown they won last season and Lancs10/3 to come out on top.

In Division Two Middlesex are well placed against leaders Northamptonshire, but need early wickets on the final day as the home side trail by 181 runs after Dawid Malan's 113 helped the Lord's side to 479.

The other half of the capital will be watching with real interest after Surrey comprehensively beat bottom side Leicestershire by ten wickets to move into third place.

If there is a winner in the Essex v Derbyshire game then Surrey will be supplanted, but suddenly the top two have challengers to their previously comfortable position.

Essex led by 75 on first innings, but Martin Guptill with 86 and Wes Durston 62 not out have brought their side into the contest.

Durston is partnered by former Essex man Tony Palladino as they go into the final day with a lead of 112 and with six wickets remaining.
