Scarborough (day four of four): Yorkshire 469 & 246-6 dec, Warwickshire 263 & 333-8 - Match drawn

Sam Hain thwarted Yorkshire for the second time this season as he batted Warwickshire to the verge of a County Championship draw at Scarborough, something his lower-order colleagues later confirmed.

Yorkshire had much the better of this Division One fixture between two counties with two wins to their name and were confident of claiming a third at the start of day four, with the Bears 44 for 1 chasing an unlikely 453.

Warwickshire slipped to 93 for 4 inside the first 17 overs of the day, but classy Hain underpinned the revival bid with a skilful 69 off 218 balls.

Hain 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 for 8.

Warwickshire are now fourth in the table on 98 points, five behind leaders Essex. Yorkshire are seventh on 87.
