Greg Smith fell for a 12-ball duck but Mullaney (78) continued at almost a run-a-ball, reaching his half-century before being caught at first slip from the last ball before lunch.

Runs were harder to come by after lunch and wickets began to fall at regular intervals, Rashid trapping Samit Patel lbw before Brooks removed Michael Lumb one run short of his half-century. Stuart Broad was the last man to go, run out having hit 36 from 34 balls.

Bad light saw an early finish to the day's play and means Yorkshire will have to wait until Monday morning to begin their first innings.

Lancashire finished day one on 295-4 against Somerset at Taunton with Alviro Petersen making 83 and Steven Croft unbeaten on 73.
