Woke up on Sunday to sunshine contrast to yesterday when it rained all day. Good job I had a ticket to the Rugby.Sent off at about 9.45 to enable me to get some signatures from the Yorkshire players.This was achieved and went to the Long Room.William Roberts was there and he shown me some of Horace Fisher memorabilia. It had been found in a house of a deceased relative of Horace. Horace Fisher was a slow left arm orthodox bowler who played for 8 years in the 1930,s.Excellent photos.Highlight of the day.
Lancashire won the toss and decided to bat. Ajmal Shahjad had come back from England to open the bowling with Best.I sat in the Rugby Stand End with Ron and Andy.Andy,s brother was in a wedding in Greece. It would be warmer there. At Headingley another cold north- westerly wind was blowing. Saw Tony Hutton walk past after his fortnight holiday.Just before lunch Brian Senior arrived after Sunday Church.Lancashire managed to score 99 for 1.
After lunch Peter Davies arrived to watch his native county Lancashire. Ashwell Prince got his 50 in 100 balls in 130 minutes. He had played some good shots but play was slow.At tea they had reached 192 for 3 in 64 overs.
After tea it got colder and Lancashire progress was less than 3 a over.At 5.15 Yorkshire were minus 4 in the over rate so they put Joe Sayers and Rashid on to bowl quick overs.New ball was taken late Smith got to 46 and Sutton 16.
No Yorkshire bowler were anything special and Lancashire were in no hurry eventhough a day had been lost for rain.Pleased to get home and put the fire on.
