Essex's talismanic fast-bowler Darren Gough is set to return to Yorkshire.

Gough is in talks with his home county about a return to the side who he spent more than a decade with before joing Essex in 2004.

The Dazzler, now 36, has been linked with Yorkshire captaincy and it looks likely he has bowled his last ball for Essex having not signed a new contract since returning from a beach cricket tournament in Australia.
