Yorkshire Are Now On Top Of County Championship Table

London, Aug. 84

Brian Close, the Yorkshire all-rounder, marked his recall to the England Test team with a splendid spell of bowling which earned him six wickets for 63 today in helping Yorkshire beat Derbyshire by an innings in two days.

Yorkshire's win put them 12 points ahead of Surrey, with whom they shared the lead in the County Champion- ship. While Yorkshire were winning comfortably with a day to spare Surrey were struggling against Middlesex.
