Warwickshire's fears of relegation from the Specsavers County Championship Division One were made bleaker as Hampshire reduced them to 49-6 on day two at the Ageas Bowl.
Sitting in seventh place and yet to win a match this season, Warwickshire slumped in the evening session while attempting to chase 515 for first innings parity.
Mason Crane (2-6) and Matt Salisbury (2-13) picked up two wickets each, while Australian debutant Ian Holland (1-4) grabbed his maiden wicket for the club.
Sean Ervine and Jimmy Adams had combined to take Hampshire's record fourth wicket stand to 367, earlier in the day, before Warwickshire youngster Sukhjit Singh (6-144) broke the partnership and went on to claim his first five-wicket haul for the county.
Adam Lyth struck a maiden hundred of the season for Yorkshire, to help them tighten control on proceedings against Lancashire in the Roses clash at Headingley.
The former England opener fell straight after reaching the landmark, but it was enough to give Yorkshire a 150-run first-innings lead.
Yorkshire then reduced their rivals to 141-4 at close, as they aim to wrap the match up in three days.
Dean Elgar and Lewis Gregory both hit hundreds at Lord's to propel Somerset to 443-9 against Middlesex before captain Tom Abell declared with 22 overs of play left in the day.
Elgar struck 158, while it was the first time in first-class cricket Gregory had passed three figures with the bat, as he went on to make 137.
Openers Nick Gubbins and Nick Compton navigated Middlesex to stumps unscathed at 42-0, still some 401 runs behind Somerset.
