It is a disappointing end to the Yorkshire innings after Adam Lyth gave the Vikings an excellent start with a supreme 96 off 88 balls - including 10 fours and a six.

However, after the England opener fell, the hosts struggled to find their range again with the Gloucestershire bowlers, in particular Benny Howell, coming back brilliantly.

Liam Norwell's dropped catch off Jonny Bairstow looked to be the turning point of the match but the 23-year-old held his nerve and Yorkshire lost 95-6 in the last 20 overs to post what looks like a below-par first-innings score, when they looked on course for more than 300.

Benny Howell is in no mood to have his figures spoiled by Yorkshire's tail, allowing just three runs from his final over to finish with figures of 10-0-37-3. An excellent effort from the seamer.

Just five off David Payne's eighth over as Steven Patterson and new batsman Matthew Fisher struggle to find the boundary rope. The pair will be hoping to produce some lusty blows from the last two overs to help Yorkshire post at least 265-270.

Yorkshire reach the 250 mark, but it is another good over for Gloucestershire as just two runs are yielded and another vital Yorkshire wicket is picked up. The visitors will have done brilliantly to keep the hosts to below 300 here, especially when you consider the dropped catches early in the innings.

A moment of inspiration from Michael Klinger then as the dangerous Tim Bresnan goes. New man Steven Patterson take three runs from the last two balls of David Payne's over.

"Bresy was looking well set, he went for a big drive and must have hit it high up the bat. Yorkshire haven't got much experience to come now.

"I think they'll now have to be happy with five or six an over from here, try to get up towards 280 and settle for that."

This is becoming an excellent cameo from Tim Bresnan, who skews the ball between backward point and short third man for another boundary.

The pressure is on Tim Bresnan now to get Yorkshire up to a competitive total and he duly strikes Liam Norwell for consecutive fours to release the shackles. It's a good over for Yorkshire as 11 runs come from it.

Yorkshire have managed only 46 runs in the last 11 overs and have lost three wickets with Gloucestershire fighting back really well after the early onslaught from Adam Lyth. Richard Pyrah is the new man at the crease with just two runs coming off Benny Howell's eighth over.

"Gloucestershire are keeping in touch, chipping away, and a couple of lads have spooned catches back to the bowler, which makes you think that when the ball gets older it just stops on the pitch a little bit."

Yorkshire will surely still be looking for a score of over 300, but the Gloucestershire bowlers have done excellently to restrict the number of scoring opportunities and boundaries since Jonny Bairstow was dismissed. Just three singles added to the total with eight overs of the innings left.

Five fielders are now allowed outside the circle for the final 10 overs, giving the bowlers a bit more support.

The impressive Benny Howell returns and Gary Ballance and Tim Bresnan can manage only a single each off the right-arm seamer.

  "Tim Bresnan's a smart cricketer, he knows his game and if he gets in and gets away, they could still reach that 300 mark."  

Tim Bresnan is straight on the offensive as he swings the willow and sends Liam Norwell for two boundaries, although the first was given as leg-byes with the ball drifting down leg. The second definitely came off his bat as he dispatched the ball up and over mid-wicket.

Gloucestershire are reeling in Yorkshire's run-rate by picking up regular wickets. Just two comes off Jack Taylor's final over, including the wicket as he finishes with figures of 10-0-46-1. New batsman Tim Bresnan will be looking to get Yorkshire back on target for 300.
