Jonny Bairstow continued his impressive form with the bat but Yorkshire otherwise struggled during day one against Hampshire at Headingley.
The 21-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman, who was called up to the England Lions squad earlier this afternoon for next week’s four-day match against Sri Lanka at Derby, made 83 off 130 balls to back up last week’s 205 against Nottinghamshire.
Yorkshire’s troubles were most evident at 6-2 this morning and 99-5 just after lunch following Andrew Gale’s decision to bat first.
But they at least managed to recover to 210-7 from 64 overs at tea.
Joe Sayers was trapped lbw by David Griffiths in the second over, before Dominic Cork clipped Adam Lyth’s off stump in the next.
Gale was later caught behind by Nic Pothas down the leg side off Sean Ervine’s first ball, leaving the hosts 48-3 in the 17th over.
Joe Root had played nicely for his 35 but was out of luck because a straight drive from Bairstow was deflected onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end by Ervine to run him out with only 30 more runs added to the total.
Brophy, without a score above 20 since his 177 in the opening match at Worcester, was out three overs into the afternoon session when he was trapped lbw by Cork for 12, leaving the score 99-5.
Bairstow and Adil Rashid then put on 44 for the sixth wicket, both players looking well set.
But the latter edged Kabir Ali to James Vince in the slip cordon for 18 as Yorkshire fell to 143-6 in the 44th over.
Bairstow looked in command, despite being caught at backward point by Vince off a Kabir no-ball.
He reached his half-century off 80 balls but later loosely chopped Cork onto his stumps to become the seventh wicket to fall with 205 runs on the board.
Bairstow and Tim Bresnan, who was 25 not out at tea, shared 62 for the seventh wicket.
Bairstow is joined in the Lions squad by Ajmal Shahzad and both will miss the Roses match against Lancashire at Liverpool.
