County Championship: Gloucestershire build lead over Yorkshire after Gohar five-for

Gloucestershire's Zafar Gohar has taken five wickets in an innings five times this season

Zafar Gohar-inspired Gloucestershire enjoyed an excellent second day at Headingley to heighten Yorkshire's County Championship relegation fears with two days of the summer remaining.

The Pakistan left-arm spinner claimed five of seven morning wickets as Yorkshire, slipped from 80-3 overnight to 183 all out.

In all, 13 wickets fell on a helter-skelter day, as already relegated Gloucestershire's second innings slipped to 74-5 during the late afternoon.

But they recovered either side of tea to close on 204-6 from 60 overs - a lead of 211 - thanks to sixth-wicket pair Ollie Price and Jack Taylor, who hit contrasting half-centuries in a stand of 122.

Yorkshire came into this game knowing a maximum of 10 points would seal Division One safety, given that they held a 15-point cushion over second-bottom Warwickshire. They have so far only taken three.

The Bears are facing Hampshire at Edgbaston, where they declared on 272-4. A win there, with 19 points, and a Yorkshire defeat would send the White Rose down.

Gohar struck with his first ball of day two - after a bright and breezy Yorkshire start - on the way to figures of 5-40 from 14 overs.

The county's leading Championship wicket-taker in 2022 claimed a season's best haul and took his tally to 43.

He benefitted from Yorkshire's determination to play out their first innings on the front foot, with Tom Kohler-Cadmore for 46, Jordan Thompson and Ben Coad all caught when looking to attack.

That tactic worked for a while. Kohler-Cadmore and captain Tattersall took 32 runs off the first three-and-a-half overs of play, including 15 off one over from Tom Price.

But 27-year-old Gohar, whose solitary Test came early last year, quickly turned things around. He had Kohler-Cadmore caught at midwicket off a top-edged pull with his first ball for 46, Harry Duke lbw, Tattersall caught at slip for 33, Thompson caught in the same position on the drive and Coad caught at cover off a miscue.

In between, Dom Bess was strangled off Ajeet Singh Dale's seam before Steven Patterson hit Tom Price to brother Ollie at second slip to wrap up the innings.

On his way to the crease at the fall of the ninth wicket, former skipper Patterson, making his final appearance for the Tykes, received a standing ovation and a guard of honour from the Gloucestershire team.

Despite losing Chris Dent caught behind off Coad in the opening over of their second innings, the first after lunch, Gloucestershire's confidence would increase further as they moved to 56-1 through Ben Charlesworth (25) and James Bracey (39).

But the pendulum swung again in the Headingley sunshine, with Bess sparking a collapse of four wickets for 18 inside six overs.

Charlesworth was trapped lbw before Bracey offered a return catch. Coad also returned to get Miles Hammond caught in the gully off the shoulder of the bat before Matthew Fisher had Graeme van Buuren caught at second slip.

Gloucester reached tea at 110-5, a lead of 117, with shoots of recovery coming from Price and Taylor.

In the evening session, Taylor was the more aggressive, clattering two sixes over long-on off Patterson and Bess before reaching his fifty off 59 balls, with the more understated Price following him shortly afterwards off 120.

Taylor miscued a pull at Fisher to short mid-on to fall for an excellent 67 shortly before close came six overs early due to rain, with Price unbeaten on 54.

Yorkshire's Tom Kohler-Cadmore:

"I want to leave the club on a high and finish the season with a good positive result, but how I got out was annoying. It was a bad ball, I top-edged it and it went straight up.

"It wasn't a 180 or 190 pitch, or whatever we ended up with. It's a decent surface. We have should have put ourselves in a better position with the bat, and we didn't do that.

"But the lads bowled really well in tough conditions. It's quite slow and hard to take wickets. But we've taken six wickets. If we have a good morning, we can be right in the game."

Gloucestershire's Jack Taylor:

"From where we were overnight, we've had a great day. I was a bit disappointed to get out right at the end when we had them on the ropes. But, if we can another 60 or 70, we'll have a decent score on the board.

"Zafar is a gun bowler. He's been one of the best spinners - if not the best - in domestic cricket this year. To have him on our side is great.

"There was some spin first innings, and I think the footmarks are getting bigger. If we can get a decent score on the board when they're going to have to bat for a day or so to get the runs, he'll come into the game and we'll be right in with a chance."
