Yorkshire made the most of their first innings lead as they went on to make a mammoth 406/3d, all their batters got great start as Adam Lyth made 50 and Harry Brook and Dawid Malan made brisk seventies, but the star of the innings was George Hill's 150 who completeley anhiliated Northants below par bowling.
