To-day was the Opem Day for the Yorkshire Archives in the Long Room. The weather was rainy and cloudy which caused the play to be delayed till 12.00.This give time to talk to a number of people about their cricket archives and memories.
One gentlemen brought album of private pictures taken at Scarborough during the 1920,s.Also he had Walker postcards of teams who played in the Scarborough festival at that time. He was very kind and allowed me to scanned the photographs and postcards for Yorkshire Archives during the afternoon.
When I came back from home and Pieterson had completed his hundred.I was able to settle down to watch a class batsman take a Championship attack apart. Yorkshire were unlucky when Patterson had broken his big toe when batting.He would have given more control to the bowling. Jack Leaning even bowled after taking the place of Gary Ballance who had gone off to play for England.
Pieterson finished up on 177 not out in 188 balls with 17 fours and 7 six,s.A class act with shows what a difference to a side when a England player is allowed to play in a Champiionship match. Surrey declared on 353 for 7 so being 80 runs behind. This forced Yorkshire to decided if trhey wish to make a match of it.
Yorkshire struggled to 52 for 1 in 21 overs but I was able to see some excellent images ealier in the day.
The forecast for to-morrow is sunny so we will see what will happen in the last chapter of this match.
