  Roger Iddison scored a century in the county match but the match winner was Tom Emmett who took 9-23 and 7 for 15 for Yorkshire. His match figures of 16 for 38 in 35.2 overs in Yorkshire's innings victory are remarkable and he also scored an unbeaten 47 at number 11 in a partnership of 72 for the last wicket . Emmett's 9 for 23 were his best innings figures in a career which saw him take 1572 first class wickets at just 13.55.
