Kirtley key in Tykes misery
Richard Blakey
Blakey's half-century was in vain for Yorkshire
County Championship D1, Headingley, day three of four: Yorkshire 216 & 8-0 (f/o) v Sussex 435 all out

Just 24 overs were possible on the third day at Headingley but it was enough to confirm Sussex' superiority over last year's county champions.

Yorkshire were forced to follow-on 219 runs in arrears after James Kirtley completed a five-wicket haul, taking his season's haul to 27.

Gavin Hamilton was caught behind off the England one-day pace man with six runs having been added to the overnight 195 for six.

James Kirtley
Kirtley extended his season haul to 27 wickets
And the last three wickets fell in the space of as many runs to leave the Tykes all out for 216.

Richard Blakey was the ninth man out, lbw to Robin Martin-Jenkins having grafted through 154 deliveries for his 52.

Kirtley followed up with a firey spell, bowling three maidens in his four overs before bad light brought an early close.

But openers Matthew Wood and Craig White led the hosts to eight without loss from the seven overs available.


Yorkshire: M J Wood, C White, M J Lumb, S M Katich, A McGrath, V J Craven, R J Blakey (Capt, Wkt), G M Hamilton, C E W Silverwood, R J Sidebottom, S P Kirby.

Sussex: R R Montgomerie, M W Goodwin, M H Yardy, P A Cottey, T R Ambrose, R S C Martin-Jenkins, M J Prior (Wkt), K J Innes, M J G Davis, R J Kirtley (Capt), B V Taylor.

Umpires: M J Harris and D R Shepherd
