Yorkshire are closing in on victory over Durham in their Bob Willis Trophy match at Emirates Riverside, requiring another 68 runs to win with seven wickets remaining on the final day.
Alex Lees had set a promising platform for Durham with his first century against his former county, but Matthew Fisher broke the game open with a brilliant spell with the new ball.
He claimed four scalps in 19 deliveries as the hosts lost their final seven wickets for 45 runs, leaving Yorkshire a target of 171 runs.
Chris Rushworth made early inroads into the visitors' line-up and then claimed his 500th first-class wicket by dismissing Tom Kohler-Cadmore.
But Dawid Malan survived a dropped chance and then pushed on towards an unbeaten half-century to put Andrew Gale's men in prime position to secure the win on the final day, if it stays dry.
