SAM Hain scored a stunning century as Warwickshire CCC piled on the runs in a dominant 377-run County Championship victory against Yorkshire.

The Bears recovered from a slow start after Yorkshire bowled out the home side for just 147 at Edgbaston.

However, Yorkshire could only manage 152 all out in reply before Warwickshire blasted 553-6 declared in their second innings.

And the Bears bowled the visitors out for 171 in the final innings of the match to secure a 377-run victory.

The result means Warwickshire sit second in the County Championship Division One table, just six points behind leaders Nottingham.

Wickets tumbled on day despite a half-century from Hain (57) as only three Bears batters managed double figures.

Ethan Bamber (28) and Zen Malik (10) were the only other batters to score 10 or more runs as the home side struggled with the bat.




Jack White (4-49) starred with the ball for Yorkshire while George Hill (2-27), Ben Cliff (2-33) and Logan van Beek (2-33) all took two wickets apiece.

However, Yorkshire suffered a second innings collapse as the visitors reached 137-5 only to lose their final six wickets for the addition of just 15 runs.


James Wharton (40) and England ODI and T20 captain Harry Brook (40) had put Yorkshire in a strong position.

However, Brook’s dismissal sparked a dramatic collapse Oliver Hannon-Dalby (4-38) and Jordan Thompson (3-14) skittled Yorkshire’s tail order.

Warwickshire then delivered a classy display with the bat in their second innings to take control of the contest.

Hain (164 not out) led the way while Rob Yates (81), Dan Mousley (70), Ed Barnard (60) and Malik (57) all scored half-centuries.

The Bears declared on 553-6 which left Yorkshire in need of 549 runs for victory with just four sessions left to bat.

And Warwickshire quickly restricted the visitors to 74-5 by the end of day three as Ethan Bamber (4-50) stunned Yorkshire’s top order.

Despite resistance from Matt Revis (41) and Dom Bess (39 not out), Yorkshire could only manage 171 all out as the Bears cruised to victory.

Warwickshire are next in action against Glamorgan on Friday, May 15 with play to begin at 11am at Edgbaston.
