WORCESTERSHIRE fought back with the ball at unbeaten LV= County Championship Division One leaders Yorkshire but then lost regular wickets on a truncated second day.

The visitors claimed five wickets during the morning session in Scarborough to ensure maximum bowling points in every league game so far this season.

Charlie Morris enjoyed a treble success as Yorkshire, who resumed on 357-5, were bowled out for 430 in 108.2 overs.

But then Worcestershire slumped to 119-5 before a lengthy break for rain and bad light.

They ended the second day on 195-6 from 53 overs with teenager Joe Clarke showing plenty of fight with 76 not out from 105 balls, including five fours and one six.

Joe Leach started with his 48th wicket of the campaign as Tim Bresnan (28) nicked through to Ross Whiteley at first slip.

Morris then picked up three victims in the space of three overs.

He had Liam Plunkett (10) caught behind by Ben Cox, bowled Steven Patterson (1) and saw Jack Brooks (0) provide Whiteley with his fourth catch of the innings.

Andrew Gale was last out, pouched by Daryl Mitchell at second slip off Jack Shantry, for a superb 164 from 297 balls with 19 fours.

Leach finished with 4-139 from 27 overs and Morris 3-90 from 30.

County openers Mitchell and Richard Oliver survived a tricky five-over spell before lunch but five wickets fell during the afternoon session.

Oliver (18) fell to one of the catches of the season by Plunkett at fourth slip off Brooks with 32 on the board.

After a brief rain break, Mitchell (14) was adjudged lbw to Patterson although he looked to have got a good stride in.

Tom Fell (30) twice drove Brooks for four and repeated the stroke against Bresnan before Jack Leaning pulled off an excellent catch at second slip off Plunkett.

Brett D’Oliveira (13) nibbled at a Patterson delivery and was caught behind by first-day century-maker Jonny Bairstow.

Whiteley (6) could not repeat his form of the T20 Blast clash between the sides at Headingley as Leaning held on to another chance and gave Patterson his third success.

Clarke provided the most resistance and pulled Adil Rashid for six before the players left the field for a lengthy spell at tea.

They returned to play into the evening but Cox (15) fell on 175, leaving Leach (13no) to partner 19-year-old Clarke for the seventh wicket.
