ENGLAND skipper Michael Vaughan is determined not to rush things after making a return to action.

He scored a fluent 67 for Yorkshire at Headingley to guide them to victory against Scotland and enhance their chances of finishing top of the North Conference in the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy.

"It was good to be back and have a good work-out, but I must stress that this is just the beginning and it doesn't mean that I will be back playing for England on Friday," he said.

"I need to put a few games under my belt for Yorkshire in the next two or three weeks and I will try to play in all of their matches."

Vaughan, who is in Yorkshire's squad of 13 for the Championship game against Hampshire at Headingley starting tomorrow, added: "I will now see how I react to a four-day game. but I could not have asked for a better start than I had today."

Yorkshire, chasing a revised target of 158 from 30 overs, won by six wickets with 19 balls remaining under the Duckworth-Lewis system for calculating rain-hit matches. Scotland had made 212-9 in 50 overs.

Vaughan came to the crease with Yorkshire on 28-1 and he promptly produced all the shots in the book in a remarkably composed performance in view of the time he has been out of the game with his knee injury.

He dominated his third wicket stand of 91 in 14 overs with Darren Lehmann, who was then caught at mid-off with Yorkshire only 19 short of their target.

When Vaughan fell in the following over he had made his 67 off as many balls, with nine fours and a six which came from a magnificent pick-up over mid-wicket off paceman Dewald Nel.

It took a breathtaking catch by his former team-mate, Gavin Hamilton, to get rid of Vaughan, the Scot leaping high at mid-wicket to pull an astonishing one-handed catch out of the air.

Vaughan had only one piece of luck, Ian Moran putting down a low return catch when the batsman had made 19.

Two short stoppages for rain during Scotland's innings were insufficient to reduce the overall number of overs but a downpour during the interval left Yorkshire needing 190 in 40 overs and further interruptions brought the requirement down to 158.

Craig White and Matthew Wood put Yorkshire on course with a 28 opening stand before Wood was beaten by Paul Hoffmann's away swing.

After several fine blows through the covers White was bowled off-stump by left arm spinner Ross Lyons.

Lehmann was content to let Vaughan monopolise the scoring as Yorkshire got well ahead of the required rate should there be any more rain, but it held off.

Yorkshire are now second in the table, one point behind Lancashire, whose rain-hit game against Notts at Old Trafford yesterday failed to get a result.
