Kyle Abbott’s seventh haul of 10 wickets or more in a first-class match helped Hampshire complete a deserved County Championship victory over Yorkshire during the fourth afternoon at Headingley.<\/b><\/p>\n
Abbott had claimed 4-49 in the first innings and recorded a superb 6-21 from 17 overs in the second as Yorkshire, set 426 to win after tea on day three, fell a long way short at 211 all out.<\/p>\n
All-rounder George Hill and captain Dom Bess posted consolatory scores of 52 and 49, but the hosts were well beaten by 214 runs.<\/p>\n
Hampshire claimed 20 points to Yorkshire’s three and bounced back superbly from their opening-round innings defeat at home to Essex.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire started day four on 65-5, needing 361 more and realistically, their only hope of a positive result was a draw.<\/p>\n
But the day’s 12th ball saw 38-year-old Abbott trap Fin Bean lbw pushing forwards for 33.<\/p>\n
Further success went to the pace of Sonny Baker, whose short ball hurried Harry Duke into a pull shot which found Eddie Jack at long-leg and that left Yorkshire at 97-7 just before midday.<\/p>\n
Baker struck Bess two nasty blows in the same over, the first on the head.<\/p>\n
Bess endured a couple more glancing blows but resisted through to early afternoon alongside Hill to delay the inevitable.<\/p>\n
Hill reached his 50 off 86 balls in the second over of the afternoon by hoisting two sixes over long-on against Liam Dawson’s left-arm spin.<\/p>\n
He was trapped lbw by Abbott not long afterwards as a 78-run partnership ended and left the score at 175-8.<\/p>\n
Bess then miscued Dawson to mid-off and the same bowler wrapped things up by bowling Ben Coad.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire’s cause certainly wasn’t helped by the loss of seam duo Jhye Richardson and Jack White because of a sickness bug.<\/p>\n
They were substituted out the game late on day two and at the start of day three respectively, but despite that, Hampshire were excellent on a good cricket wicket.<\/p>\n
Abbott led the way with the new ball as he caused further problems for Yorkshire, against whom he took 10 wickets in a mid-summer victory at Scarborough in 2022, and now has 490 first-class wickets for Hampshire.<\/p>\n
Jake Lehmann should also take credit for scores of 76 and 92, and so too captain Ben Brown for his second-innings 103 not out.<\/p>\n
They are next in action on Friday against Somerset at the Utilita Bowl, while Yorkshire have a week’s rest before hosting Sussex at Headingley, with England legend Joe Root set to play his first game of the summer.<\/p>\n
