Warwickshire v Yorkshire: Back-up seamers prove value to stifle Warwickshire

On second thoughts, you're probably unlikely to forget it with Hannon-Dalby, 20, being only the fourth player with a double-barrelled name to represent Yorkshire in first-class cricket.

The others, as you will doubtless be aware, are Raleigh Chichester-Constable (who played one game in 1919), Kenelm Lister-Kaye (who played two games in 1928) and Edward Loxley-Firth (who played two games in 1912).

Hannon-Dalby, who is playing only his second first-class game at Edgbaston, is a 6ft 8ins pace bowler from Halifax who helped Yorkshire claw their way back into this match with 5-68 in Warwickshire's second innings.

Bowling from the Pavilion End in sunny, blustery conditions, he stunted the home team's progress during a spirited spell in the afternoon session.

Against a Warwickshire team whose bowling has appeared less than deadly, Hannon-Dalby's efforts could well inspire Yorkshire to victory in their opening match of the Championship season.

Going into the final day of an intriguing, fluctuating contest, Yorkshire are 57-1 in their second innings, requiring another 234 to get Andrew Gale's rein as captain off to a winning start, although not even an Essex player would gamble on the outcome with any confidence.

Hannon-Dalby did his best to make Yorkshire's ambition a reality after Warwickshire threatened to set them a much stiffer target. At 231-3, a lead of 174, Warwickshire were firmly on top after starting the day with a lead of 27.

But in the space of four balls, Hannon-Dalby had England's Jonathan Trott caught in the slips for 88 and sent back Tim Ambrose leg-before for a duck.

Twelve balls later he bowled Chris Woakes and then had Neil Carter caught at mid-off as Warwickshire slid to 261-7.

When Anthony McGrath dropped a difficult slip catch running back when Jim Troughton had scored 50, quickly followed by wicketkeeper Jonathan Bairstow dropping a fairly routine chance to his left with Troughton on 57, it seemed Hannon-Dalby would be denied a fifth wicket.

But the young man wrapped up the innings after tea by having Naqaash Tahir lbw and left the field to a generous ovation.

Resuming on 84-1, Warwickshire enjoyed the better of the opening session, losing only Varun Chopra and Ian Bell, who added 96 for the second wicket before Chopra was caught in the slips off Tim Bresnan.

Bell reached a commanding half-century before inexplicably slapping Ajmal Shahzad to point. After Hannon-Dalby took out the middle order, Steve Patterson picked up two late wickets (including that of Troughton for 78) on a day when Yorkshire's back-up seamers proved more successful than the new-ball pairing of Bresnan and Shahzad – an encouraging sign given that West Indian pace bowler Tino Best, Yorkshire's replacement overseas player, is now unlikely to receive his work permit in time for Thursday's match at home to Somerset.

Joe Sayers was caught behind off Naqaash with six overs remaining but the composed Adam Lyth (34) and nightwatchman Shahzad (four) prevented further casualties against a Warwickshire team for whom leg-spinner Imran Tahir promises to be key.
