Championship: Crane spins Glamorgan into ascendancy against Yorkshire"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">After a painful practice, Bairstow ruled himself out before the start of the third day, Will Luxton taking his place as a full playing substitute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The new regulations mean Bairstow has to sit out the next game against Hampshire, but Yorkshire hope he will make the following match at home to Sussex on 24 April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Timm van der Gugten struck early when Finlay Bean edged a catch behind to Chris Cooke, but that brought debutant Whiteman in to join Adam Lyth in a confident stand of 76 at four an over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Whiteman, the Doncaster-born batter who has spent his first-class career with Western Australia, stroked nine boundaries in a promising debut, although he was dropped at slip off Ben Kellaway before being pinned lbw on the back foot by Crane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The spinner&#8217;s googly then accounted for James Wharton lbw fourth ball and sub Luxton (14) missed an attempted pull to be bowled behind his legs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The obdurate Lyth reached 37 before New South Wales paceman Ryan Hadley produced an effort delivery that the opener steered to clip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Crane&#8217;s sharp turn was soon enough to account for George Hill, who was bowled playing down the wrong line.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Revis and substitute captain Dom Bess staged a mini-revival as Yorkshire maintained their quicker scoring rate, Bess surviving some nervy moments against Crane in his breezy 32 before being given lbw to van der Gugten.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hadley&#8217;s shorter deliveries then accounted for Logan van Beek (6) and Revis, the ball after he hit a six to reach 50 off 78 balls.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Crane wrapped up his excellent five-for by having Ben Coad caught at slip for 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The spin-heavy trend continued with Bess having Asa Tribe plumb leg before for 19 for his 300th first-class wicket as Glamorgan restarted in the same painstaking mode as their first innings against an accurate attack. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A jittery Sean Dickson also fell early to Bess while Eddie Byrom made a solid 40 before holing out off van Beek, with the first three wickets all falling to rare attacking shots.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A long evening session in chilly sunshine produced few fireworks as Kiran Carlson (32 not out) and Colin Ingram (18 not out) settled for stabilising their team&#8217;s position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a painful practice, Bairstow ruled himself out before the start of the third day, Will Luxton
