Earlier, the hosts pulled out on 280-5 after starting the day on 203-3.

In watery sunshine, Dom Bess took the first wicket to fall when Vilas was bowled for 28 trying to hit him through the point region.

There was then a second wicket for Yorkshire captain Jonny Tattersall, who had relinquished the gloves to Kohler-Cadmore in an attempt to improve the visitors’ over-rate.

Tattersall had George Lavelle skying to mid-on for a single, with Steven Croft ending unbeaten on 45.

Bess captured 3-84 and Tattersall 2-27, Lancashire declaring after 35 minutes’ play.
