Scorecard
Michael Lumb scored an unbeaten 103 as Yorkshire eased to an stress-free 126-run victory over Bangladesh A at Headingley. Lumb, who had been left to salvage a mini-crisis at 8 for 2 on the second evening, cracked 11 fours and a six in 136 balls to set up Yorkshire's second declaration of the match.
By closing on 240 for 4, Yorkshire left Bangladesh needing 273 for victory, or more likely to bat out the remainder of the day. The openers, Shahriar Nafees and Nafees Iqbal, added 40 for the first wicket, but John Blain removed both men in the space of three runs, before David Lucas whipped through the middle order with 3 for 35.
Bangladesh were bowled out for 146 in 51 overs, and now travel to Chester-le-Street to take on Durham in a one-day match.
