Hampshire's right-armer claimed outstanding figures of 7-41 on the second day of Hampshire's four-day fixture against Yorkshire at Headingley
Hampshire seamer Kyle Abbott claimed a sensational seven-wicket haul on his first-class return for Hampshire as his side fought back on day two of their Specsavers County Championship contest against Yorkshire at Headingley.
The right-armer bowed superbly to take figures of 7-41, restricting Yorkshire to 187 in their second innings, after Hampshire were dismissed for 141 earlier in the day.
The visitors then successfully navigated the final four overs of the day without loss, leaving Hampshire requiring 310 to win with two days remaining.
After resuming their first innings on 58-5 in the morning session, Hampshire lost three wickets inside the opening 30 minutes finding themselves in early trouble at 75-8.
Lewis McManus (41*) and Brad Wheal (18) led the Hampshire fightback however, with the duo sharing a vital 52-run parternship for the ninth wicket.
Wheal eventually departed with the final wicket falling shortly after, and despite a courageous effort from McManus, the away-side found themselves with a 132-run deficit as Yorkshire prepared to begin their second innings.
The home-side reached 40-0 after the opening 10 overs and looked in a commanding postition, but three wickets in 17 balls for Abbott saw three Yorkshire batsman swept aside as they soon fell to 59-3.
Gary Ballance (55) led his side's recovery, taking them to 106-3 with a 238-run lead at tea. However, Abbott was the man to make the breakthrough yet again - the paceman trapping Jack Leaning (15) LBW to end their 56-run partnership whilst Bresnan (0) followed suit shortly after to reduce Yorkshire to 115-5.
Further resistance came from Andrew Hodd (54*) but the departure of Ballance at the hands of Brad Wheal (1-22) soon sparked a collapse. Liam Dawson (1-46) quickly claimed the wicket of Azeem Rafiq (2) courtesy of a stunning catch from Sean Ervine at first slip, before Abbott returned to the attack to take two wickets in two balls to leave the hosts reeling at 186-9.
Gareth Berg (1-37) finished the Yorkshire innings swiftly after, allowing Michael Carberry (5*) and Jimmy Adams (5*) to safely navigate the final four overs of the day without loss.
The guys had a great attitude today - to turn it around from yesterday was great. You could feel it in the field, and it made you want to grab the ball and bowl.
If it's not in the right spot and you're slightly off, it's pretty easy to bat on and is quite nicely paced, but if you get it right as a bowler, there's still something there. History shows it shouldn't deteriorate too badly and scoring's been pretty quick - there's no reason why we can't knock those runs off.
Kyle Abbott
Hampshire will require a further 310 runs for victory when play resumes tomorrow at 11am against Yorkshire at Headingley.
