Victory for Yorkshire takes the White Rose up from ninth in the table to seventh, although there are only 15 points separating fifth-placed Hampshire and ninth-spotted Durham with three matches left.
Hampshire might have put more of a gap between themselves and those below them ,but fell two wickets short of beating rock-bottom Worcestershire at New Road.
A declaration on 313 for seven left the Pears needing 358 in 53 overs for just a second win of the season and Jake Libby cracked 106 from just 122 balls – his second century of the match.
Hampshire kept chipping away, with highly-rated quicks Sonny Baker and Eddie Jack each claiming three wickets, but hands were shaken with Worcestershire on 303 for eight after 52.5 overs.
"It was a great game of cricket" 😅
Captain Ben Brown is pleased with his side's efforts to try and bowl Worcestershire out and force a result after rain played a big impact across the four days 🤝

Nottinghamshire sit nine points adrift of leaders Surrey after being held to a draw by Somerset at Trent Bridge.
With a 106-run first-innings lead in a high-scoring match, Nottinghamshire needed to make inroads into Somerset's batting.
But while Calvin Harrison took three wickets, Somerset getting to 200 for five meant a stalemate was agreed.
Ed Barnard went from an overnight 90 to 108 for Warwickshire, but mid-afternoon rain meant their match at Essex petered out to a draw.

Leaders Leicestershire were frustrated by Ben Compton's double hundred as their clash at Kent ended in a draw.
Unbeaten fifties from Luis Reece and Brooke Guest and the rain helped Derbyshire avoid defeat at Northamptonshire, while Joe Phillips hit his maiden first-class ton as Gloucestershire versus Middlesex was also draw at Cheltenham.

The shot-stopper, who retired last year following a spell at Celtic, was a handy left-arm seamer in his day.

Hart was asked if someone sat him down to discuss his options as a teenager, but he revealed the decision to pursue football was one he made, and really it was a no brainer. He continued: "I was a lot further down the line (in football). I was playing for Shrewsbury Town in League Two and I was involved with the first-team from 14, 15-years-old.

Ed Foster, another teammate at club level and with Worcestershire's academy, adds: "If he'd have carried on and had the glut of cricket that you can get if you want it from 17 through to 19 or 20, I'm sure he would probably have been in and around the England Under-19 setup – and who knows where he would have gone from there? "He had all the raw materials, and where he's got to in football shows he's got enough between his ears to be able to put his physical aspects to good use. "I'm sure he would have given himself an opportunity, for sure."
