FORMER England skipper Michael Vaughan scored a subline hundred as Surrey lost their opening match of the Emirates Airline Pro ARCH Trophy to Yorkshire by 33 runs.

The Brown Caps gave a spirited chase under the lights of the Sheikh Zayed Stadium which included half-centuries from Usman Afzaal, Stewart Walters and debutant Michael Brown, but fell short.

The Brown Caps were then asked to field first by Carnegie captain Anthony McGrath and had success in just the second over of the day, with Stuart Meaker finding the edge of Andrew Gale's bat.

Gary Wilson took a sharp catch to his left and Carnegie were 3-1.

Meaker and Chris Jordan bowled with good pace in the hot midday sun but found no further breakthroughs, as Joe Sayers and Michael Vaughan began to build a century partnershipt.

Both batsmen reached 50 at near one a ball, before Sayers gave his wicket away sweeping a short ball from Chris Schofield straight to Alex Tudor on the boundary.

Vaughan played with such ease and took his time against the spinners during the middle overs. He helped himself to a six of Matthew Spriegel and moved gracefully into the nineties as the new ball was introduced after 34 overs.

Vaughan and McGrath played well through the middle of the Carnegie innings until Spriegel was then instrumental in the dismissal of McGrath.

With 192 on the board Spriegel produced an outstanding piece of fielding to remove McGrath, as he dived full length to his right at mid-wicket, then leapt to his feet and hit the stumps with a throw before McGrath could return to his crease.

Vaughan was joined by Tim Bresnan and they took Carnegie passed 200 and were looking to post over 300, however the Brown Caps really tightened the screw and stemmed the runs.

Vaughan did reach 100 off 101 balls and then went for 115 as he flicked Jordan straight to Chris Schofield on the mid-wicket boundary during the batting powerplay, 265 for 5.

Tudor came back and picked up two wickets in two overs, to finish with three for 55. When Wilson stumped Richard Wainwright off Spriegel in the last over the Brown Caps kept Carnegie below 300.

The Brown Caps were chasing a ground record of 296 to win, and they started positively. Michael Brown started his Brown Cap career with a three through mid-wicket off his first ball from Matthew Hoggard.

With Scott Newman they raced to 50. Brown reached a maiden half-century for the Brown Caps as the opening pair were building a good platform against the Carnegie seamers.

However, Newman departed as he tried to up the rate and was bowled by Paterson for 40. Brown was then lbw to Richard Pyrah for 51 in the 20th over to leave the Brown Caps 101 for 2. Skipper Usman Afzaal and Stewart Walters then had to re-build and play themselves in.

It was hard work against the accurate bowling of Pyrah and Paterson. The pair played sensibly and worked the ball around, doing their best to keep the required rate down. They went to a hundred partnership for the third wicket and Usman was the first to reach fifty as the score went past 200.

The introduction of the batting powerplay saw the end of the chase as wickets began to fall. Usman hit Paterson in the air to cover and was caught for 50.

Then Pyrah bowled James Benning for 1 and Walters for 57 as the pressure grew.

The run rate increased despite the efforts of all the batters, but the Carnegie pairing of Pyrah and Paterson had exceptional control and gave nothing away.

Bresnan returned to pick up two late wickets and Pyrah finished off with the wicket of Spriegel to return figures of four for 29.
