Vaughan in Yorkshire return

26 August 2008

Michael Vaughan returns to the Yorkshire side for the game for the first time since relinquishing the England Test captaincy in the LV County Championship Division One match against Kent at Scarborough.

Chris Taylor makes way for the experienced batsman as he is suffering from a hamstring problem which he niggled in the first practice session at Scarborough.

Adam Lyth is likely to play on what is his home ground - the first time he will have done so for Yorkshire.
