NO GRUMBLES FOR TWO THIRDS OF THE DAY

By Brian Sanderson,

Another sunny day in Headingley and Nottingham were visiting.Good news was that David Wainwright was playing.His first first class mtach this season.

Sat in the Rugby stand with Andy for the fist time this year.We were right beind Mc Grath catching a brillent catch at second slip.Yorkshire were bowling and collecting wickets.Moved round to the Trueman stand to meet Ron Stansfield.The view is good and it is warmer than the Rugby Stand.

Just after lunch Nottingham were bowled out for 143 in 35.4 overs.Poor show by Notts but Pyrah collected his best bowling figures of 5 for 58.A big bonus for Yorkshire and the player.Meet Ron Deaton at lunchtime after he had been ill last week. Good to see him well.

Root was soon out but Lyth and Mc Grath put on a century stand. At tea Bob Appleyard was given a momento of him taking 200 wickets in a sesaon 60 years ago.It was given by the Yorkshire supporters .It is a pity that Yorkshire could not be involved.

Two Yorkshire wickets were gifted by the players. Lyth caught by one of thetwo long legs and Brophy caught by one of thetwo gullies.At the end of the day Yorkshire were 70 runs ahead with Gale and Rashid batting well.

We will see what to-morrow brings.Hoping Peter Davies gets better.
