Cricket: Craig White just had time to complete his century today before Yorkshire declared and set Surrey a target of 300 in a minimum of 88 overs.

And Chris Silverwood then shook Surrey with a double blast which got rid of both openers with only 11 on the board.

Yorkshire's declaration came at 196 for four after White and Bradley Parker had dashed up 45 together in the first 25 minutes of the final day.

White, who started out on 82, blasted Martin Bicknell for six over cover on his way to his eighth championship century.

It came off 152 balls and contained 12 fours and two sixes and followed his half-century in the first innings - not a bad effort for a player in his first match since the middle of June.

Soon after White had reached his century, Parker drove Adam Hollioake high over long off for six shortly before skipper David Byas called a halt.

A third consecutive win for Yorkshire would consolidate their position among the leading clubs while at the same time putting a dent in Surrey's tilt for the title and the visitors lost a wicket after Silverwood and Hutchison had each opened with a maiden.

Silverwood moved a ball in to Butcher who was trapped lbw on the back foot to bring in Nadeem Shahid to join Ian Ward.

Yorkshire were aware of a threat of rain later in the day but the sun peeped through as Silverwood and Hutchison sought another breakthrough.

Ward clipped Hutchison through mid-wicket to get off the mark but the bowlers were generally on top in the early stages although the pitch by now had lost some of its greenness.

Silverwood gained his second success when Ward sliced to gully where Michael Vaughan calmly held on to the catch.

Surrey yesterday looked to be on their way to a substantial first innings lead at 80 without loss but the picture changed dramatically when Butcher fell lbw to Gavin Hamilton who then ripped through the opposition on his way to career-best figures of seven for 50.

It was the best bowling analysis against Surrey at Headingley since Scholfield Haigh took seven for 17 in 1897, but Hamilton received excellent support at the other end from Matthew Hoggard who picked up the other three wickets.
