Yorkshire skipper Shan Masood helps the Tykes build a useful lead against Northants on a rain-hit day at Wantage Road.
Shan Masood struck an unbeaten 82 to put Yorkshire firmly in the driving seat at the end of a rain-shortened third day against Northamptonshire at Wantage Road.
With rain clouds circling throughout the day, Masood seemed intent on building a sizable lead as quickly as possible, clubbing three sixes and eight boundaries to set up an intriguing final day. Play began 15 minutes late due to overnight rain but Ben Sanderson took no time to pick up his second wicket of the innings when he enticed Fin Bean to edge behind without scoring in the second over.
After driving Kaul through midwicket, Masood then targeted the spin of Rob Keogh, but he was gifted a life on 50 when Ricardo Vasconcelos missed a tough diving chance at third slip.
