Yorkshire moved off the bottom of the Rothesay County Championship Division One table after completing a convincing 10-wicket win over Essex in York.
Essex entered the final day 33-3 in their second innings but were unable to set any sort of meaningful target to save the game, with Jack White (4-37) and Ben Coad (3-33) helping Jonny Bairstow's side skittle out the visitors for 131.
Yorkshire required just nine overs to make the 41 runs required, with Adam Lyth (15 not out) and Finlay Bean (18 not out) guiding them to just their second win of the season and seeing them jump to eighth in the 10-team table.

It was also a stalemate between Sussex and Warwickshire, who were 260-4 when the bails were removed after Alex Davies (58), Tom Latham (69) and Sam Hain (53 not out) all made half-centuries.
In Division Two, Lancashire secured their first win of the season with a thumping 261-run victory at Derbyshire.
The hosts resumed day four on 139-3, chasing an ambitious 513 to win, but lost steady wickets before being dismissed for 251. Captain Wayne Madsen finished 95 not out for Derbyshire, while George Balderson (4-54) impressed with the ball.
