DARREN Gough will not take part in Yorkshire's final County Championship game against Essex at Scarborough tomorrow.

The paceman is resting a slight injury to his left foot which England are concerned could get worse if he were asked to do a lot of bowling.

And Darren Lehmann stays sidelined because he is keen to rest up now that Yorkshire have won the Championship title.

Lehmann received the Norwich Union League player-of-the-month award for August during the interval at yesterday's Yorkshire Phoenix game against Gloucestershire Gladiators.

During the month he plundered 342 runs in six innings and captured ten wickets.
