Michael Vaughan soon went for his shots when Yorkshire resumed their rain-hit first innings in the championship match against Warwickshire at Headingley today, but he was out after adding a couple of boundaries.

Only 7.2 overs were possible yesterday in which Yorkshire made 20 without loss after winning the toss and there was a half-hour delay today while bad light and drizzled cleared up.

Vaughan, who yesterday became the first Yorkshire player to reach 1,000 championship runs this season, was 14 overnight with Craig White on five, and it was White who played out the remainder of the uncompleted over from Douggie Brown who was then replaced at the Kirkstall Lane end by Tim Munton.

The first and last balls of Ed Giddins' opening over were both struck for boundaries by Vaughan with fine strokes through extra cover and square leg.

Munton's second delivery to White went to short leg where Nick Knight, Warwickshire's acting captain in the absence of the injured Brian Lara, sprawled forward to hold the ball but umpire Ray Julian did not think the batsman had hit it.

White was still on five after 15 minutes and looked distinctly uncomfortable but it was Vaughan who departed, having made 23 out of 29 in 13 overs. He had faced 41 balls and hit four boundaries when he offered no stroke at Giddins and was bowled.

White then fell bowled by Munton for nine.

LEAGUE TREASURER John France will lead a working party to consider the possibility of introducing 60 over cricket into the Bradford League.

The idea of extending Bradford League innings from 50 to 60 overs has been discussed by clubs and at league meetings throughout the summer.

Now, the league executive have appointed a working party to consider any possible changes in depth.

It will include experienced captains David Jay (Brighouse) and Matthew Doidge (Farsley) along with umpires, Glyn Pearson and Tom Priestley.

League secretary Bob Shackleton will act as secretary to the working party.
