An exceptional hundred from Adam Lyth helped Yorkshire dominate day one of their County Championship Division One match against Hampshire at the Rose Bowl as they reached stumps on 300 for 3.
Lyth (133) dominated an opening stand of 195 with Joe Sayers (49), before three quick wickets fell either side of tea. Anthony McGrath then hit an unbeaten 55 to help guide Yorkshire to the close with no further damage.
Hampshire skipper Nic Pothas won the toss but unexpectedly put Yorkshire in on what appeared to be a perfect track in cloudless conditions. He was immediately made to pay for his decision as Lyth roared out of the blocks.
