Adil Rashid's previous career-best, 117 against Hampshire, lasted eight days
A Roses Match record seventh-wicket partnership of 168 between Adil Rashid and Gerard Brophy helped Yorkshire hit back against Lancashire at Headingley.
Brophy agonisingly fell just one run short of his century but Rashid went on to register a career-best ton for the second Championship game running.
In his final four-day game of the summer before heading off on England one-day duty, Rashid hit 136 not out.
And that helped the Tykes, 131-5 overnight, to close 110 ahead on 386-7.
Brophy took three boundaries off Oliver Newby early in the day. But there was little indication of the revival to follow, particularly when Tim Bresnan failed to add to his overnight score of 46, skying Newby to deep backward square leg.
But Brophy and Rashid both demonstrated great determination from the start of their alliance, as well as benefiting from a couple of early escapes.
Rashid survived a major LBW shout to his very first ball before slashing Tom Lungley hard through the hands of VVS Laxman at second slip on 13.
And, on 41, Brophy steered Lungley high over the slips and was put down by Mark Chilton at third man.
But Rashid survived to post his latest career-best knock, to follow last week's unbeaten 117 in his previous innings in the vital win over Hampshire at Basingstoke.
In partnership with Brophy, the pair surpassed a Roses Match record that went back 114 years to the Victorian era.
Brophy and Rashid's epic stand exceeded the best Yorkshire seventh-wicket stand in a Roses Match, the 120 put on between Robert Moorhouse and Lord Hawke at Old Trafford in 1895.
And they then went on to make it the highest by either side in a Roses Match, surpassing the 164 between Ernest Tyldesley and Jack Iddon at Headingley in 1927.
Rashid, who had picked up five wickets in the Lancashire first innings and at Basingstoke last week, became the first Yorkshire player to score a century and take five wickets in consecutive matches.
Nine overs were lost when rain extended an early lunch. And another nine overs were lost to the weather at tea-time. But the only interruption to the pair's progress came when, looking for a boundary to take him to his ton, on 99, Brophy tried to cut spinner Gary Keedy and was caught behind.
There was no missing out for Rashid, who still made Lancashire toil after Brophy's departure.
And he helped put on a further 74 for the eighth wicket with Ajmal Shahzad, as Yorkshire tried to push on to the sort of lead that might put pressure on Lancashire second time around on a testing final-day track.
Lancashire stand-in skipper Luke Sutton told BBC Radio Manchester:
"The day did not go according to plan.
"We did not take our chances. It became a struggle and it was a very tough day for us.
"But you have to give the Yorkshire batsmen some credit. Adil Rashid and Gerard Brophy played very well."
