Match scorecard<\/a><\/p>\nWarwickshire thwarted Yorkshire for the second time this season to earn a draw in their County Championship match at Scarborough.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire had much the better of this Division One fixture between two counties with two wins to their name and were confident of a claiming a third at the start of day four, with the Bears 44-1 chasing an unlikely 453.<\/p>\n
Warwickshire slipped to 93-4 inside the first 17 overs of the day, but Sam Hain underpinned the revival bid with a skilful 69 off 218 balls.<\/p>\n
He shared fifth and sixth-wicket partnerships of 87 and 86 with Beau Webster and captain Ed Barnard, whose 58 represented his second half-century of the match. Both fell inside the final 20 overs, but the Bears clung on to close on 333-8.<\/p>\n
Warwickshire are now fourth in the table on 98 points, five behind leaders Essex. Yorkshire are seventh on 87.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire enjoyed a profitable morning with three wickets. Two of them went to superb catches.<\/p>\n
The first was a one-handed return catch going to his right from George Hill to remove Alex Davies. The second a fine tumbling effort just inside the long-on boundary rope from Jack White to help Hassan Ali remove nightwatch Ethan Bamber, who had played nicely for 23.<\/p>\n
Hill (3-32 from 14 overs) also had Dan Mousley caught at second slip on the drive in the same over as that Davies dismissal – the 21st over of the innings, the sixth of the day.<\/p>\n
Australian Webster offered a return catch to Ben Cliff early in his innings but survived to reach lunch on 27 alongside Hain. Warwickshire were 139-4.<\/p>\n
There were only brief signs of aggression as Webster and Hain cautiously shared 87 for the fifth wicket and were looking settled.<\/p>\n
Although Webster did move to 49 with two boundaries through cover off the back foot against Dom Bess’s off-spin. However, playing back again later in the over, he was bowled as the score slipped to 180-5 in the 59th.<\/p>\n
Hain dispatched a Bess full toss for six over long-on en-route to his 142-ball fifty.<\/p>\n
He found another partner in Barnard, and they took the score to 237-5 at tea with 35 overs remaining.<\/p>\n
Hain navigated seam and spin confidently, including the short-ball tactic from Cliff either side of tea. Barnard, meanwhile, backed up his first-innings 83 not out.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire got the use of a new ball with a minimum of 31 overs left in the day.<\/p>\n
At one point, Hassan switched the bails around at the striker’s end as he bowled to Hain for a change of luck. So Hain put them back as they were, only for Jonny Bairstow to run from behind the stumps and switch them back again – much to the amusement of the crowd.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire’s hopes increased when Bess had Hain caught at short-leg to make it 266-6 with the best part of 19 overs remaining.<\/p>\n
And even more so when Matthew Revis had Barnard caught behind with 13.3 overs left.<\/p>\n
But Zen Malik and Manav Suthar completed Warwickshire’s survival task even though the latter fell for 37 to Hassan with five balls remaining. Malik finished unbeaten on 20.<\/p>\n
