Yorkshire were forced to be patient for much of the day, with Tom Prest and Nick Gubbins typifying a defensive Hampshire batting approach.

Lyth, who had earlier picked up his 50th first-class wicket, led the counter with 51 as the visitors built out a 111-run lead, but losing five wickets meant the game remained in the balance.
Having lost four poles the previous evening, it was paramount for their chances in the game that Gubbins and Prest hung around for as long as possible.
