Ian Fisher took a wicket with the final ball of first-class cricket at Northlands Road to help Yorkshire defeat Hampshire in thrilling style.

Hampshire's Yorkshireman in exile Alex Morris was just one ball away from salvaging a draw for his side in their last game before they move to a new stadium at West End.

With a number of close fielders looking on, he edged the left-arm spinner's last delivery - and Gavin Hamilton swooped to hold the vital slip catch.

A Yorkshire victory had seemed unlikely shortly after tea when Hampshire, set 258 to win at 4.77 an over, had reached 113 for one.

Strong support

But James Middlebrook and Fisher spun their way through the Hampshire innings, with strong support from the occasional left-arm slow of Australian Darren Lehmann.

Off-spinner Middlebrook's four for 88 gave him match figures 10 for 170.

Fisher took three of the last four wickets, and Lehmann's clever variation accounted for two more.

Hampshire's batsmen again failed to do justice to their reputations once the opening pair of Giles White (37) and Derek Kenway - run out for 58 - had departed.
