Yorkshire's Darren Gough proved his fitness for England Test duty as Lancashire were put under early pressure in a tense Roses clash at Headingley.

Question marks were still hanging over Gough's fitness when he was named in the England squad for the first Test against India, which begins on Thursday.

But he dealt with the doubters in typical Gough style, taking two wickets in his opening six-over burst.

He removed Mark Chilton with his 11th Championship delivery of the season, before getting some assistance from the pitch to remove David Byas' middle stump with one that kept very low.

Byas, making his first championship return to the Headingley ground where he captained Yorkshire for five seasons, was greeted by a mixture of applause and boos as he walked to the crease.

But his departure, at the hands of a man with whom he shares a mutual antipathy, saw Lancashire rocking at 28 for two.

Alec Swann and Stuart Law shepherded the visitors to 89 for two at the close - a deficit of 426.

Career best

Earlier, Darren Lehmann and Anthony McGrath shared the biggest third-wicket stand in Roses history as Yorkshire made their best first-innings score of the season.

After coming together at the perilous position of 24 for two on the first evening, the pair added 317 to help Yorkshire to 515 for five when they declared shortly after tea.
