Matthew Hoggard finished with match figures of eight for 97 as Yorkshire wrapped up an innings victory over Hampshire in the LV County Championship on Saturday.
The England seamer, dropped during the recent Test series in New Zealand, did his case for a recall no harm as Hampshire were bowled out for 212 in their second innings at Headingley.
Hoggard finished off the match by claiming two of the final three wickets, the visitors ending the game an innings and 27 runs in arrears. Only Michael Brown offered any serious resistance for Hampshire with 81.
Three other matches in the First Division ended in draws with Kent completing a creditable recovery against champions Sussex at Hove.
The visitors had been facing defeat at 122 for nine in reply to Sussex's first innings 303 earlier in the match but they began their revival on Friday by reaching 204.
Azhar Mahmood then finished with five for 30 as Sussex were bowled out for 237 and captain Martin van Jaarsveld secured the draw with an unbeaten 82 in his side's 193 for three.
Lancashire's match with Somerset at Old Trafford predictably ended in stalemate after the entire third day's play had been washed out.
The hosts declared 17 behind on their overnight 221 for nine but Somerset showed no interest in setting a target.
Half-centuries from Justin Langer (76) and Ian Blackwell (58) steered them to the safety of 262 for eight before they declared and the draw was confirmed.
Surrey's experienced and ever-dependable pairing of Mark Butcher and Mark Ramprakash frustrated Durham at the Riverside.
Durham had declared on 228 for nine after half-centuries from Dale Benkenstein (63) and Phil Mustard (53) to set a target of 270 in 53 overs.
Steve Harmison took two wickets as Surrey slipped to 45 for three but Butcher and Ramprakash put on 38 before rain forced a halt.
In the Second Division, Darren Maddy's 130 helped Warwickshire to a high-scoring and nail-biting two-wicket win over Northamptonshire at Wantage Road.
The visitors were set a testing target of 383 after Northants declared on 240 for seven.
Skipper Maddy put on 109 for the second wicket with Ian Bell (62) but Warwickshire needed several other contributions to complete a victory that seemed unlikely after Northants claimed a first-innings lead of 140.
Jonathan Trott made a useful 48 while Michael Powell, Tim Ambrose, Ant Botha and Neil Carter all chipped in but it was Ian Salisbury (20 not out) who finished the job with a six with two balls remaining.
Derbyshire accepted a challenge from Essex to claim a four-wicket win at Derby.
Tom Westley top-scored with 93no and Jason Gallian (64) and Ravi Bopara (54no) weighed in as Essex declared on a quickly-made 234 for two to set a target of 266.
Chris Rogers (77) and Steve Stubbings (57) got Derbyshire off to a great start in their pursuit but it took an unbroken seventh-wicket stand of 38 between Jamie Pipe (36no) and Graham Wagg (25no) to see them home.
Middlesex batted out for a draw against Glamorgan at Lord's, the hosts reaching 292 for six in their second innings - a lead of 300 - before the end was called.
David Nash added an unbeaten 63 to his first-innings 96 while Ed Joyce struck 86.
Leicestershire saw out the final session to claim a draw against Worcestershire at New Road.
Worcestershire skipper Vikram Solanki declared at tea with his side 174 for four to set a token target of 282. Leicestershire were 62 for one when stumps were drawn.
