Clark takes star-studded hat-trick

Lancashire's Jordan Clark has taken a star-studded hat-trick against Yorkshire, dismissing England captain Joe Root as well as two other international batsmen.

As far as hat-tricks go, it doesn't get much bigger than Jordan Clark's stunning effort for Lancashire in the English County Championship.

Clark dismissed England captain Joe Root, New Zealander Kane Williamson and Root's England teammate Jonny Bairstow with successive deliveries, among a five-wicket haul against Yorkshire at Old Trafford.

Clark's hat-trick - the first in a Roses Championship match since Ken Higgs claimed one in 1968, helped him to figures of 5-58 and Yorkshire be all-out for 192.

Clark also ran out England international Tim Bresnan for a duck.

In reply, Lancashire collapsed to be all out for 103 at stumps on day one, with captain Liam Livingstone not batting due to a broken wrist.
