Adam Lyth ground out 106 to give Yorkshire hope of a sensational turnaround victory.

Tom Prest 57, Fletcha Middleton 38 , Mark Stoneman 38 not out for Hampshire .

Jonny Bairstow and Anthony McGrath took three points from the contest.

Ben Brown took over from James Vince as skipper as Hampshire captain.

"I don't like to say there are a lot of positives to take when you lose, because we've ultimately lost the game. But if we cut out a few mistakes, bat better like we did in the second innings, I think it's shown everyone in the dressing room, against Hampshire , who are normally up there, that we can compete and there's some good signs going forward.".
