Tykes win at last

Yorkshire kept their slim hopes of avoiding relegation alive with their first victory in the County Championship this season, by 150 runs over arch-rivals Lancashire.
The victory came courtesy of five wickets from England off-spinner Richard Dawson as Lancashire tumbled to 148 all out in their second innings.
Despite the result, Yorkshire remain rooted to the bottom of the table but have drawn within 17 points of Hampshire, who are one place above the relegation zone.
The win over Lancashire has pushed the Red Rose county into the relegation area with Yorkshire, having just four matches to avoid dropping into division two.
