A RECORD-BREAKING haul of 9-19 from Jared Warner helped Yorkshire Academy move to the ECB Yorkshire Premier League North summit following victory over Castleford.

The paceman became the first player to take nine wickets in an innings in league history and was only denied all 10 by the competition’s leading wicket-taker James Logan, who took the ninth wicket to fall.

Ex-Yorkshire spinner David Wainwright struck 63 for Cas, but the rest of their card imploded as they were dismissed for a mere 107 in reply to the Academy’s 233-5, with Harry Brook top of the shots with a century.
