Victory for Yorkshire takes the White Rose up from ninth in the table to seventh, although there are only 15 points separating fifth-placed Hampshire and ninth-spotted Durham with three matches left.
Hampshire might have put more of a gap between themselves and those below them ,but fell two wickets short of beating rock-bottom Worcestershire at New Road.
A declaration on 313 for seven left the Pears needing 358 in 53 overs for just a second win of the season and Jake Libby cracked 106 from just 122 balls – his second century of the match.
Hampshire kept chipping away, with highly-rated quicks Sonny Baker and Eddie Jack each claiming three wickets, but hands were shaken with Worcestershire on 303 for eight after 52.5 overs.
"It was a great game of cricket" 😅
Captain Ben Brown is pleased with his side's efforts to try and bowl Worcestershire out and force a result after rain played a big impact across the four days 🤝

Nottinghamshire sit nine points adrift of leaders Surrey after being held to a draw by Somerset at Trent Bridge.
With a 106-run first-innings lead in a high-scoring match, Nottinghamshire needed to make inroads into Somerset's batting.
But while Calvin Harrison took three wickets, Somerset getting to 200 for five meant a stalemate was agreed.
Ed Barnard went from an overnight 90 to 108 for Warwickshire, but mid-afternoon rain meant their match at Essex petered out to a draw.

Leaders Leicestershire were frustrated by Ben Compton's double hundred as their clash at Kent ended in a draw.
Unbeaten fifties from Luis Reece and Brooke Guest and the rain helped Derbyshire avoid defeat at Northamptonshire, while Joe Phillips hit his maiden first-class ton as Gloucestershire versus Middlesex was also draw at Cheltenham.

'I spent hours waiting for autographs'
This week, we are asking you to share your stories and photos for why you fell in love with is a selection of your submissions: Richard: My first experience of watching AFC Bournemouth (Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic FC) was with my father when I was about 11 years old (1963) and it was their first match under floodlights, a friendly against a German side.I spent many hours outside the players' entrance hoping to get the autograph of my heroes. If the first team were playing away, I used to go and watch the A Team playing on a Saturday. At half-time, the Bournemouth orchestra used to march around the pitch while playing and entertaining the crown. I have remained a supporter throughout my life, and Eddie Howe will always be held fondly. Now we have one of the best managers in the league in Ardoni Iraola and an owner who fully supports the development of the club. Thank you AFC Bournemouth for so many great years. Derek: I was born in Bournemouth, Hampshire in 1949. I have always cheered the Cherries on and watched/listened whenever possible. Living in Portsmouth, I went to see them play at Fratton Park but got in the home end by mistake and cheered when Bournemouth scored. Fortunately (unfortunately!), the goal was disallowed. I was lucky to get out in one piece. Send us your pictures and stories here

Former Celtic star reveals he almost turned pro in another sport
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORMER Celtic star Joe Hart has revealed how close he came to becoming a professional in another sport altogether. The shot-stopper, who retired last year following a spell at the Hoops, enjoyed cricket and was a handy left-arm seamer in his day. 3 Joe Hart revealed he could have become a cricketer Credit: Alamy Live News 3 He was part of the Worcestershire academy Credit: Alamy Live News 3 Hart instead chose football and had a successful 21-year career Credit: Getty His talent saw him picked up by the Worcestershire academy but Hart decided football would be a better career path. Hart, 38, was also part of the Shrewsbury Town set-up in his youth and began to be selected for the matchday squad before he had even sat his GCSEs. The former keeper recently appeared on BBC Test Match Special where he revealed his cricketing past. He said: "I played at a good level. I was part of the Worcestershire academy when that first started to come about. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL NO SESK APPEAL Why Man Utd should scrap Sesko transfer pursuit to fix a MUCH bigger problem "But I was always playing a lot of football as well and this was the time when cricket wasn't just in the summer it was becoming an all-year round type of sport so it was difficult." Hart was asked if someone sat him down to discuss his options as a teenager, but he revealed the decision to pursue football was one he made, and really it was a no brainer. He continued: "I was a lot further down the line (in football). I was playing for Shrewsbury Town in League Two and I was involved with the first-team from 14, 15-years-old. "They had more of a structure, so when you turn 16 you sign schoolboy forms and you almost train professionally. "You're a professional footballer from 16 so that pathway was there. They were very encouraging, I had been on the bench when 14/15. "I just felt there was more of a pathway there for me football wise and cricket's a really difficult sport to be in. You have to be at a top top level just to make a living in the game. I'm a Celtic-daft bride – I called off the big day but I still celebrated in my wedding dress at Parkhead "And I don't think I was that good. I was decent, like many people out there, but was I going to go to the next level? I don't know. "And in football it felt like I had a lot of people who knew a lot about me telling me I need to stay in this sport because you've got a chance." Hart once showed off his talents in a game of cricket with his former Tottenham team-mates in 2020, and he bowled Harry Kane. And one of his former pals at Worcestershire, Jack Shantry, believes he would have made it as a cricketer. The former Worcestershire bowler said: "He could have gone further, definitely. "This isn't with any faux humility, but he was a better cricketer than me at the same age. If he wanted to, he could have made it." Ed Foster, another teammate at club level and with Worcestershire's academy, adds: "If he'd have carried on and had the glut of cricket that you can get if you want it from 17 through to 19 or 20, I'm sure he would probably have been in and around the England Under-19 setup – and who knows where he would have gone from there? "He had all the raw materials, and where he's got to in football shows he's got enough between his ears to be able to put his physical aspects to good use. "I'm sure he would have given himself an opportunity, for sure." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
