By Brian Sanderson,
Sorry about the delay of Friday blog as my computor had to go in for a service and I picked up on Saturday.
After obtaining Phil Jaques signature on two old scorecards when he scored centuries, I setting down to watch him bat from the Long Room.There was another strong cold breeze blowing.The first objective was to beat the follow on figure of 278.Jaques and Ballance batted well until Ballance decided to get out to Ervine for 76 still 81 runs to go.Then Jaques and Brophy got out to Dawson and Rashid was bowled by Biscombe. Still 41 runs required. Mc Grath and Sidebottom saw the follow on figure beaten.
The next objective was 350 to obtain another batting point.This was achieved with an over to spare and Hampshire was deprived a bowling point. Hampshire got the nineth wicket in the first ball of the 111 over.
Third objective was for McGrath to reach his 34 th century and this was acheived due to Katich dropping a catch in the slips.Well done Anthony and he helped Yorkshire to get to 399 still 28 runs behind.
The match is heading for a draw so I will be going to see League cricket on Saturday.
