Yorkshire progressed into the 4th round of the C&G; Trophy after a comfortable 143 run win against Devon at Exmouth.
Craig White top scored with a quickfire 83 to lay the platform as Yorkshire reached 259-5 from their alloted 50 overs.
Skipper Darren Lehmann also contributed an unbeaten 54 as Yorkshire batted their hosts out of the game.
In reply Devon crumbled to 116 all out to spare Yorkshire the added pressure of finishing the game today.
There was little joy for the seam bowlers but Lehmann and Richard Dawson collected 4 wickets apiece to destroy Devon.
Yorkshire now travel to Northamptonshire on Wednesday 19th June for the 4th round tie.
