Thanks to the performances of England batsman Joe Root and young opener Finlay Beane, Yorkshire were in complete control of the game against Glamorgan, posting 295 for two, already with a 74-run lead.
Bean's aggressive 140 not out is a career best, while Root looks set for his second century of the season.
The pair added 201 consecutive runs for the third wicket in style despite playing on a used pitch.
Dom Bess and Dan Moriarty took four wickets each, but Glamorgan were bundled out with just 221 wickets, with Colin Ingram being the only real contribution on the second day with 48 wickets.
At the start of the day, played entirely under floodlights, the experienced pair of Ingram and Chris Cook had to work hard for a stand of 65.
Cooke reached 24 and slapped Harry Brook in support of Moriarty, but Ingram suddenly attacked Moriarty as he tried to regain control.
Bess trapped Ingram Pond on his back foot for 48 points and this was the beginning of the end for Glamorgan's efforts.
James Harris (16) was taken out for 16 by a short-leg catch from Moriarty, and the inexperienced Tom Bevan was dropped twice for 22 before Bean took a third catch off bowler Bess.
Bess and Moriarty each took a fourth wicket to burnish their tail, and despite Bean playing three opener maidens from Jamie McIlroy and then surviving a return chance from James Harris, Yorkshire He quickly picked up his game with the bat.
Adam Lyth hit five boundaries but was ruled at leg by Pakistan seamer Mir Hamza, but Bean and Shan Masood upped the tempo with a stylish partnership of 68 before Masood hit Mason Crane It was caught at short leg for 34.

Yorkshire were in full control of the final session and mounted an attack on Glamorgan, but once-capped leg-spinner Crane struggled badly.
Left-hander Bean hit some brutal shots and, despite a cautious start, reached triple figures in just 111 balls, completing his fourth first century in just 35 first-class innings.
Root, on the other hand, found gaps all over the ground, swept to devastating effect, and seemingly effortlessly played a run-a-ball, a partnership that put the home side in the lead after just 36 overs.
Bean had a chance to beat his previous best score of 135, but it was too dark for the outfielders to pick up the ball, and the umpires penalized the players for 12 overs before the match was scheduled to end. Glamorgan was spared further punishment.
This appeared to be only a temporary reprieve for the shocked visitors, with Yorkshire looking set to pick up maximum points before putting the pressure back on the Welsh side's batsmen.
Yorkshire batsman Finlay Beane said: “It went exactly the way we wanted it to. One of the big things was that the spinners played a big role on that pitch. We had great partnerships with the bat and we didn't lose too many wickets. I was so happy.”
“It’s always great to get a career best, score your first (100) points of the season, set up the game and go at a pace where you’re in control.
“I had the mindset of going out and putting a little more pressure on them and keeping their line and length away. I’m going to go for a bases loaded RBI and take it from there.
“Joe is just so busy. You look up and he's hitting 30 out of 20 pitches. The way he approaches it is remarkable. He's very aggressive and positive, so that's something to learn from.”
Glamorgan assistant coach David Harrison said: “When you get really good players on good wickets, we don’t control the scoreboard as much as we would like and we are a little bit behind so we have to come back better.
“We have to bowl better as a group, bowl on one side of the wicket and try to be more consistent as there is a bit of spin.”
