Tim Bresnan reserved himself in the frame for an England place in the first Test against India at Lord's by grab four wickets against Worcestershire.
In circumstances which aided seam and swing, Yorkshire bowled out their member Division One strugglers for 168 on a green-tinged pitch after sending them in to bat,
Ryan Sidebottom also presentation good form to pick up three wickets.
It was not entirely plain marine for the Yorkshire batsmen either, but skipper Andrew Gale hit a robust unbeaten 68 for his side to close on 135 for five, still trailing by 33.
Bresnan appear to be competing for a place in England's Test team with Nottinghamshire's Stuart Broad, who claim two wickets but endured a largely trying day against Somerset at Trent Bridge.
After four wickets cut down in the morning session,
Craig Kieswetter made 151 not out and put on a club-record 290 for the fifth wicket with James Hildreth, who was out for 137, as the visitors took manage to finish on 341 for five.
Kieswetter hit 21 fours and a six in his 218-ball innings, while Hildreth struck 20 fours in 219 balls previous to he was dismiss by Broad (two for 75) in the last but one over of the day.
Hampshire fight back with two wickets in the last hour after they had been dismiss for 206 by Sussex at Hove.
Monty Panesar (four for 71) and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan (three for 38) were the pick of the Sussex assault as only Liam Dawson (38) and Sean Ervine (32) got precedent 30 for bottom-of-the-table Hampshire.
But Sussex establishes things just as tough in the 15 overs they had to face before stump as they were summary to 27 for two. Glamorgan paid a high price for a drop catch as Jon Clare scored the second century of his career to rescue Derbyshire in their Division Two match.
Clare hammer 130, his maximum first-class score, after he had been badly miss on eight at second slip by Ben Wright with Derbyshire on the ropes at 147 for seven.
It prove an luxurious lapse as Clare common an eighth-wicket stand of 125 with Dan Redfern, who was out for 99, and added 104 with Mark Turner - the fourth highest last-wicket partnership in Derbyshire's history - to carry the home side to 360.
Clare then strike a big blow when he detached Glamorgan captain Alviro Petersen, with the visitors in problem on 39 for two at the close. A second consecutive century from captain James Foster and a four-wicket haul for trialist Tom Craddock gave Essexthe edge next to Leicestershire at Grace Road.
Foster finished winning on 117 to steer Essex to a total of 322 before 21-year-old leg-spinner Craddock picked up four wickets in an inspiring spell as Leicestershire slip from 109 without loss to 245 for seven at the close, still 77 runs behind.
Even Mark Ramprakash struggle to bring a appearance of common-sense batting to events at The Oval, where one more rash of 15 wickets fell on a helter-skelter second day.
Having dismiss Kent for 250 to gain a first-innings benefit of 137, Surrey then stumbled to 138 for seven by the mid-point of a second division match played more like a Twenty20 bash than a conservative championship tussle.
