Ben Sanderson claimed a maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket to help Yorkshire bowl out Loughborough University for 253 at Headingley yesterday.

The 21-year-old, who has played his part in all three of the White Rose county’s Clydes-dale Bank 40 wins, added the wickets of Alan Cope, Rob Taylor, Gavin Baker and Charl Malan to his day two scalp of Rhodri Evans.

The wickets of Taylor, Baker and Malan came in the space of 16 balls at a cost of only nine runs after he had taken the second new ball midway through the afternoon session.

While Sanderson finished with striking figures of 5-50 from 18 overs, there were also impressive showings from debutant Moin Ashraf (1-35 from 17) and left-arm spinner David Wainwright (2-47 from 21).

Wicketkeeper David Murphy and opener Will Tavare had given Loughborough coach Graham Dilley cause for optimism with a patient 54 and 49 respectively.

But the students’ lower order struggled to cope with Sanderson’s accuracy on a pitch with some pace and movement.

Having had opener Evans caught behind by Gerard Brophy on Tuesday, the Sheffield-born former England Under-19s bowler trapped captain Cope, Taylor and Malan lbw – and had Baker caught behind.

He became the fifth Yorkshire player to snare a five-wicket bag in first-class cricket this season, and the third uncapped Tyke to do it. There were only five five-wicket hauls taken by the county in first-class cricket in the whole of last season. Former Loughborough student Wainwright trapped both Tavare and Murphy lbw, while 18-year-old Ashraf did the same to Harveer Gandam. Ashraf bowled seven maidens in his 17 overs.

Off-spinner Azeem Rafiq and all-rounder Lee Hodgson claimed the other two wickets, while Simon Rose and Peter Groves (37 not out) shared a tenth wicket stand of 52.

The match ended in a draw. Gary Ballance and Joe Root had reached 29-0 after 7.1 overs when the players shook hands at 4.50pm.
