TWO BRILLIANT CATCHES

By Brian Sanderson,


I set off today hopeful of some more records to be broken by Gale and Leaning. However Stuart Broad shown his international bowling class against Yorkshire,He removed both batsmen  inside the day,s first five overs,lbw and chopped  on respectively, as Yorkshire fell to 325 for 5.

Wood bowled Bairstow for 15 after his trip to Old Trafford yesterday.Next Hifenhaus had Middlebrook caught at second slip with 398 on the  board .Bresnan and Patterson shared a fifty for the  eighth wicket during the latter stages Broad picked up his fifth wicket as Yorkshire reached 418 for 8 at lunch.


Stuart Broad  completed notable figures of 7-84 on his 29 th  birthday to wrap up Yorkshire first innings for 430.Brendan Taylor was caught at gully off Sidebotom for a duck in the first over before he had Mullaney caught in the fifth.Patterson trapped James Taylor lbw before Bresnan got Wessels caught behind and Lumb lbw for 47.
When Brooks had Gidman caught just in front of square leg-side in the 26th over, Notts were 88-6.
Sidebottom then had Samit Patel brilliantly caught at first slip by Alex Lees in the final over before tea.

Sidebottom bowled Wood in the early stages of the evening before Broad ,who made 50 off 42 ball,and the ninth-wicket partner Hifenhaus shared  60 inside eight overs to advance to 126-8.

Their stand was ended when Middlebrook had Broad brilliantly caught at mid-wicket by a diving Gale before the off-spinner wrapped up the match by getting Ball caught by Sidebottom.

Yorkshire won by a innings and 8 runs.The two catches by Lees and Gale was worth the admission money alone.Great victory for Yorkshire within three days,
