Headingley (day four of four): Hampshire 251 & 315-5d, Yorkshire 177 & 211 - Hampshire won by 214 runs

Kyle Abbott's seventh career haul of 10 wickets or more in a first-class match helped Hampshire complete a deserved County Championship victory over Yorkshire during the fourth afternoon at Headingley.

Abbott had claimed 4 for 49 from 20 overs in the first innings and recorded a superb 6 for 21 from 17 in the second as Yorkshire, set 426 to win after tea on day three, fell a long way short at 211 all out.

Allrounder George Hill and captain Dom Bess posted consolatory scores of 52 and 49, but the hosts were well beaten by 214 runs.

Hampshire claimed 20 points to Yorkshire's three and bounced back superbly from their opening round innings defeat at home to Essex last weekend.

For Yorkshire, this performance came on the back of an unconvincing draw at Glamorgan.
