I went with my sister to a sunny Headingley and less windy than yesterday.All eyes were on Chesney Hughes again after yesterday and how many more runs could he score on a flat wicket.The answer was 270 not out which consisted of forty fours and three sixes. However he fell five runs short of the highest score by a Derbyshire player who was George Arthur Davidson in 1896 against Lancashire.He only scored two other centuries for Derby and finished with average of 26.95. I think Chesney will finish with a better average and score more centuries when his career has finished.
The photograph above is of him smashing another boundary.
Derbyshire finished all out in the afternoon at 475 and a drawn match looks on the card.
Yorkshire started with a opening partnership of 126 with Lyth out for 69.Root finished at the end of the day on 75 and Yorkshire were 164 for 1.On this flat wickets other records could fall during the next two days with the weather forecast good.
John Winn went to watch another Lancashire Seconds against Yorkshire at Northrop Hall and then going on to Colwyn Bay to see Lancashire.
