By Brian Sanderson,
The forecast was rain and clearing by 4.00.Surprise it happen and I was able to watch an hour play in bright sunshine.In the morning Geoffrey Boycott held a fans forum in the Long Room.There were about 50 people present.
We settled down to talk cricket whilst the rain fell.I was joined by Andrew Wickham who had decided to come up to Yorkshire to see some cricket.After lunch we decided to go to the Leeds Library which is a private library in Commercial Street. It is a oasis from the hassle of central Leeds and is run by very helpful people. The library was founded in 1768 and now can be joined by membership.Whilst I was there I was able to find a map of Middleton in 1910 which shown the position of Middleton Park Cricket Club together with the pavilion.Middleton Park Club is one of my projects at this time.
Arrived back at Headingley cricket had started with Root and Bairstow batting. Root should have been stumped off Middlebrook but the keeper made a mess of it.I noticed that a few students tried to watch the match from the debenture seats but were escorted out.Root finished on 98 with Bairstow 36 with a partnership of 94.
The forecast is dull weather but clearing later. We will see.
