RAINY HEADINGLEY

By Brian Sanderson,

When I set off to the match it was raining but the it stated on time.We decided to watch the innings inside as it looked like it would rain again.

Sayers was out first ball caught behind.It was set up for a twenty-twenty match inorder to set up  a run chase.
It rain again and lost eight overs.Yorshire declared at 12.15 setting a target of 262 off 74 overs.My feeling was this was a generous declaration.Before lunch Shahzad collected two wickets.

Essex were 26 for two when the rain came to call off the match. During the rain I purchased a Yorkshire Second scorecard for 1948. So something good from to-day.

Prospects or the next few days are not good for Weetwood and Harrogate.
