Yorkshire 281 (Berg 6-56) and 69 for 1 lead Hampshire 222 (Ervine 80, Vince 60, Brooks 5-53, Sidebottom 3-45) by 128 runsScorecard It is on days like this that it becomes apparent quite how good Yorkshire are. While up in Headingley five White Rose players, including three bowlers, appeared for England in an ODI against Pakistan, down in Southampton, Yorkshire scrapped furiously in the field on a warm afternoon to turn a crucial match back in their favour.How many of Yorkshires absent England players would be playing in this match were they available is a matter of debate but if nothing else it is revealing as to the strength in depth and quality at the club that without them they are still able to not only be competitive but successful.Hampshire have played well for a lot of this match, they have definitely had the better of the conditions and at one point they were trailing by 82 runs with six first-innings wickets in hand, yet they ended the second day 128 behind and requiring a dramatic turnaround to stave off defeat.If Yorkshire do end up winning a historic third consecutive Championship title, then they may well come to look back on this second afternoon in Southampton as another significant moment in a growing collection of significant moments.A slow over rate meant that after two hours in the sunshine the afternoon session was extended. Yorkshires ageing team did not wilt though. Ryan Sidebottom, in his nineteenth county season - red face, sweat-laden hair, grimace and all - was the man who turned the match.It was going to take a special ball to remove Sean Ervine, who, fresh from centuries in both innings in Taunton had looked in splendid form all afternoon, and a special ball it was. On that in-between length it tempted the left-handed Ervine forwards but it shaped beautifully away before exploding off the pitch like a firecracker to take the shoulder edge of Ervines bat to be caught behind. Sidebottom charged away in celebration; he knew the importance of the wicket.A score of 199 for 4 had become 199 for 5 and by the time Lewis McManus had tamely chipped to midwicket off the bowling of Jack Brooks and Sidebottom found Ryan McLarens edge with a lovely away-swinger, a session that had been extended was ended early with Hampshire seven down. It took just half an hour after tea for Yorkshire to take the final three wickets, all of them falling to Brooks who completed his five wicket-haul. Yorkshire had taken 6 for 23 leaving them with a first-innings lead of 59.The brilliance of Yorkshires bowling extended beyond the numbers. To appreciate the effort behind the late afternoon collapse it is necessary to understand what came before. With the clouds high, the air thin and the sun out this was far less of a bowling day than the first, yet Yorkshire drew on all their experience and bowled superbly regardless and never really let Hampshire get away.Both Brooks and Sidebottom naturally swung the new ball, but less than Hampshire did on day one. Instead they built pressure by bowling immaculate lines, forcing the batsmen to play at the ball, and their stump-to-stump line only required a hint of swing to beat the bat and bring lbw into play. Both Will Smith and Tom Alsop fell in this manner, beaten by lateral movement. Jimmy Adams, clipping to midwicket like McManus after him, would have been disappointed with the manner of his dismissal.The major partnership of the day was between Ervine and James Vince, as they put on 107 enterprising runs for the fourth wicket either side of the lunch interval. It was during this partnership that Yorkshires fortitude was revealed. Both Ervine and Vince played beautifully. Ervine crunching boundaries, Vince caressing them. Yet as good as they looked and as unhelpful as the conditions were after lunch a wicket never looked far away simply because Yorkshire didnt relent; bad balls were rare and good balls, somehow, kept coming.Just as Vince brought up his second 50-plus score of the season - his first incidentally was a century against Yorkshire in April - and just as he was beginning to look like the player he has been a spectre of since being called up to the Test side, Tim Bresnan tempted a shot and the edge was taken at second slip.It must have all felt painfully familiar to Vince. Not for the first time this summer he had played at a ball that he didnt need to play at. Not for the first time this summer he had played a good innings that ultimately wasnt good enough. Not for the first time this summer, for both Hampshire as well as Vince, the opposition were just too good.Freddy Galvis Jersey .

PITTSBURGH -- Anibal Sanchez spent six innings toying with the Pittsburgh Pirates, his electric stuff rendering the Pirates innocent bystanders. When the Detroit starter finally wobbled, Pittsburgh wasted little time knocking him over. Pedro Alvarezs two-run double sparked a seventh-inning rally and the Pirates streaked by the Tigers 5-3 on Wednesday night. Travis Snider added an RBI double and Jordy Mercer laid down a perfect suicide squeeze to cap the four-run burst and abruptly end Sanchezs evening. "I dont think as a team we ever check out in the seventh inning," Snider said. "Weve had a lot of late comebacks weve had a lot of great rallies off bullpens and starters late in the game." The victory was Pittsburghs eighth of the year when it trailed after six innings and pushed the Pirates to a season-high 13 games over .500 (33-20). Bryan Morris (2-2) picked up the win in relief of A.J. Burnett. Jason Grilli pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 22nd save. Miguel Cabrera hit his 15th home run for Detroit. He flied out to the wall in right field with a runner on to end it. Neil Walker -- whose solo home run in the 11th inning produced the only run in a 1-0 Pittsburgh victory in Detroit on Tuesday night -- provided the only two hits through off six innings off Sanchez. The righthander looked nearly as dominant as he did in his previous start, when he one-hit the Minnesota Twins. Sanchez retired 16 of 17 batters at one point and appeared to have all the cushion he needed when Andy Dirks doubled home Don Kelly with one out in the fifth and Cabrera followed two batters later by poking a 92 mph fastball from A.J. Burnett into the seats in right field for his 15th home run, giving the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Watching Sanchez buzz through the first six innings on just 67 pitches, Detroit manager Jim Leyland didnt even have anyone up in the bullpen when things quickly unraveled. Garrett Jones singled with one out in the seventh, Russell Martin walked on four pitches and the floodgates opened. "It was kind of a freaky thing," Leyland said. "He just walked a guy and all of a sudden kind of lost it there momentarily." Alvarez followed by driving a ball to the wall in left-centre, scoring both runners. Snider took the next pitch and hit it off the wall in right with Alvarez just beating the relay throw to put Pittsburgh in front. "We knew as hitters we had to grind," Snider said. "If hes going to make a mistake, its going to be early. Pedro did a greeat job jumping on him early, so did Jones.dddddddddddd. Russell the same thing, getting on base. Before they were able to get anything going in their bullpen we were able to get to him in that inning." Snider moved to third on a wild pitch, then darted home when Mercers bunt stopped just in front of the pitchers mound. Its one of the few times the squeeze has worked for the Pirates under manager Clint Hurdle. "It was kind of surprising," Mercer said. "In those situations all you want to do is put it in fair territory somewhere. I was able to deaden it. It actually worked out really well for both sides." Sanchez allowed five runs on seven hits in 6 2-3 innings, walking one and striking out nine while his ERA rose from 2.38 to 2.79. "I think I missed some pitches and they hit them," Sanchez said. "I take responsibility, thats part of the game. Before that inning I thought everything was working good, especially location." Pittsburghs late surge allowed Burnett to escape his fourth straight loss. The Pirates have struggled to support their ace this season and had scored just five runs total in his previous five starts. The right-hander had issues with his command but managed to stay out of trouble until the fifth, when Kellys leadoff walk started a three-run burst. Burnett gave up three runs on five hits, walking four and striking out four. Burnett was long gone by the time Alvarez got things going. Tony Watson worked the eighth and Grilli -- who struck out the Tigers in order in the 11th on Tuesday -- stayed perfect in 22 save chances when Cabrera flied out.
