Durham have missed out on a third batting point by just four runs, as Jack White took three wickets on the second morning of this match to pick up his first five wicket haul for Yorkshire.

He took two wickets in a maiden over in the fourth over of the day. He took Matty Potts' middle stump out of the ground when he was on 31. That ended an excellent stand for the eighth wicket with Ben Raine at 87 runs.

White then bowled Daniel Hogg for a fourth ball duck and a few overs later saw off Ben Raine for 101. Raine looked to pull the ball through the legside but edged down to George Hill at third man. White finished with figures of 20.2 overs, 5-69.

How important could that missed point prove to be come the end of the game and relegation though?
