Lancashire 194-6 (target 323)
And that ends another absorbing day at Old Trafford.
Lancashire require another 129 for victory, but only have three wickets left with Liam Livingstone unable to bat.
That wicket of Jos Buttler late on was massive for Yorkshire.

On a quick side note, Sussex have beaten Glamorgan by an innings and 154 runs inside two days at Hove.
All 20 Glamorgan wickets have fallen in just over two sessions. Mad game.

That's a slice of luck for Jos Buttler.
He gets an inside edge off Jack Brooks and the ball flies past his stumps and down to the boundary.
Four in the book though. That's all Lancashire care about.

Four overs to go tonight.

That's streaky from Tom Bailey but the home fans won't care!
He squirts one off Tim Bresnan down to the third-man boundary and then flays one over slip for the same result.
Eight precious runs.
