Yorkshire on course for Roses double
Andy Wilson - 9 August 2001

First division leaders Yorkshire took huge strides towards completing a Roses double by making Lancashire follow on at Old Trafford.

The home county were all out for 242 inside 54 overs in reply to Yorkshire's 467 for nine declared, and then lost captain John Crawley in their second innings.

Lancashire will start the last day on 74 for one, still needing another 151 runs to make Yorkshire bat again.

Darren Lehmann was Yorkshire's hero yet again, but this time with the ball. The Aussie run machine went in the first over of the day without adding to his overnight 26 as Yorkshire moved positively from 358 for two with 109 runs before declaring before lunch, with Craig White out for 186 and Chris Silverwood weighing in with an unbeaten 34.

But Lehmann then produced figures of three for 13 from 7.3 overs when David Byas turned to his occasional left-arm spin.

Lancashire had made a nightmare start to their first innings with Crawley and Mark Chilton both going cheaply to Silverwood and Gavin Hamilton.

Andy Flintoff responded with his second consecutive Championship half- century from only 51 balls but was then deceived by off-spinner Richard Dawson in the flight.

Lancashire continued to find unusual ways to be dismissed, with Joe Scuderi run out and Graham Lloyd caught behind taking evasive action from a short ball from Paul Hutchison, who also had Chris Schofield caught by Lehmann at short mid-wicket.

Then Lehmann took over with the ball, having Glen Chapple stumped and trapping both John Wood and Mike Smethurst lbw.

Warren Hegg continued his consistent season with 78, but missed out on the chance of another century when he drove Silverwood to mid on just after tea.

Crawley then fell cheaply for the second time in the day, flicking Silverwood to mid-wicket where Dawson took a good low catch to keep Yorkshire on course for yet another win.
