Darren Gough rolled back the years by dismissing three current international batsmen as Yorkshire beat Durham in the Friends Provident Trophy at Headingley.

Gough removed Phil Mustard(26), Paul Collingwood (2) and Neil McKenzie (1) in figures of 3-31 as Durham were bowled out for 185 in the 46th over.

Steve Harmison took three wickets but Durham the Cup holders crashed to defeat, their third in four matches.

Michael Vaughan (22) prodded a short ball off Graham Onions to cover point.

The England Test captain perished when well set for the fifth time in as many innings for his county.

And he does not have any further opportunity to find form ahead of the npower Test series against New Zealand.

He has managed 95 runs in three Championship innings and 38 in two one-day matches for Yorkshire.

Left-hander Andrew Gale's high octane 68 was the key performance from the Yorkshire batsmen.

He was particularly severe on England discard Harmison, whose opening two overs cost 22 runs.

Harmison, who on Sunday said he would retire the day he believed the international door was closed to him, hit back with late wickets.

But the damage was already done.

Durham's best batsman had been Kyle Coetze, whose classy effort of 61 included a lofted straight six off Tim Bresnan.

With Naved-ul-Hasan's protracted move to Yorkshire finally settled, the White Rose will be hoping the Pakistan pace bowler will add extra impetus to an already impressive bowling line-up.With South Africa speedstar Morne Morkel signed up for the first three months of the season, while Matthew Hoggard has been released for early county action by England, the season's prospects look very promising for captain Darren Gough.Great expectation will be placed on all-rounder Adil Rashid to build on his impressive debut season. If the leg-spinner can match his performances from last season, he could be an England candidate sooner rather than later.And with Jaccques Rudolph leading the batting ranks, 2008 could be a memorable year for Yorkshire.

Ramprakash was once again in unstoppable form

Mark Ramprakash overshadowed Andrew Flintoff's return to competitive action with his 98th first-class century.

Flintoff, who had a fourth ankle operation in September, struck with his 20th ball as Surrey struggled to 56-2 in the Championship against Lancashire.

But Ramprakash, who was dropped on nought and could have been run out on 24, joined forces with skipper Mark Butcher to put the home side in charge.

Ramprakash was on 102 and Butcher 80 as Surrey closed on a comfortable 242-2.

All eyes, including those of national selector Geoff Miller, were on Flintoff, who is aiming to be in the squad for the first Test against New Zealand next month
