91热爆 Radio Leeds's Dave Callaghan:
"Yorkshire skipper Andrew Gale paid tribute to opponents Warwickshire after a hard fought draw.
"The final day was hit by poor weather and just 70 minutes of play was possible.
"In that time Warwickshire grabbed three Yorkshire wickets for 32 runs and set up a victory target of 174 in 36 overs. Rain finally won the day with the visitors 3-0 in their second innings.
"Gale was full of praise for the opposition claiming they were excellent 2012 champions and had some fine players such as Chris Woakes who bagged eight wickets in the match.
"The draw did Yorkshire's hopes of the title no harm. They lead the first division by 10 points from Sussex who have played a game more."
