Yorkshire did better with the second new ball in the Roses match at Headingley but Lanca-shire still managed to tot up 417 for nine before declaring when bad light and then rain restricted the second day's play to 57.3 overs.

Lancashire at lunch were in a commanding position on 368 for five but much tighter bowling after the interval meant they could only add 49 more runs in 19 overs, losing four wickets.

Yorkshire's bowling for a large part of the innings had been mediocre but in the end they had the consolation of picking up maximum bowling bonus points.

It is disappointing, however, that they have yet to bowl out a side in the first innings for under 300 this season and their leading pair of Australian Jason Gillespie and South African Deon Kruis are still not firing as well as they should.

Gillespie has worked hard, sending down 147 overs in three-and-a-half matches, but has so far captured only eight wickets.

Kruis is only in his second match after recovering from a calf injury but his two for 135 yesterday were the most expensive figures he has registered since joining Yorkshire in 2005.

Lancashire were contemplating a substantial score when they came out for the afternoon session but found life harder against the second new ball.

First to fall was Luke Sutton, lbw to Kruis for 46 after putting on a tiresome 81 in 28 overs with Glen Chapple, who brought Gillespie a wicket when he drove to Tim Bresnan at mid-off.

Bresnan was the pick of the bowlers throughout the innings and he struck twice in consecutive overs, Kyle Hogg looping an intended hook to wicketkeeper Gerard Brophy and Dominic Cork miscuing to mid-on.

Yorkshire had been far less disciplined in the morning when Lancashire resumed on 228 for three, with Mal Loye and Stuart Law having already added 142.

The stand topped the previous best for Lancashire's fourth wicket in a Roses match of 202 between Len Hopwood and Clifford Hawkwood on the same ground in 1933 but four runs later Loye, on 138, hooked Kruis to Bresnan at long leg.

Law soon completed his own ton off 143 balls with 17 fours by hitting John Blain for two but he missed the next one and was lbw.
