After doing the weekly shop I arrived at Headingley with Yorkshire eight wickets down in their second innings.Another hot day which made me to watch the match from the shade of the Rugby stand.By just after twelve o, clockYorkshire were all out for 161 with Pyrah scoring 71.
Glamorgan had to score 206 in about 78 overs so they had plenty of time to win. However the Australian Walters was out to Wardlaw.By lunch-time Glamorgan had lost three wickets so Yorkshire had the unusual chance to win a match.However due to some bad shots and good bowling they were bowled out for 128 with the wickets sprend out.In one over 14 runs were scored of Pyrah but still finished with 3 for 29.There must have been about 30 spectators watching the match but I am sure there will be more to-morrow for the one-day match at Pudsey Congs.
After joining Ron Deaton we went to watch three matches in the Northallerton Evening League.The first match was at Ingleby Cross against the Rugby Club which is a beautiful ground.There are hills in the background and the pitch had recently cut which made it look in good condition.The Rugby Club had only nine men and a black Labrador which stayed on the ground while it,s owner played cricket. It never chased the ball so shown good behaviour.
Next match was Thornton-le-Moor against East Harsley which was at half-time when we arrived.It is a large ground near the main London - Edingburgh railway line.The home side had been fielding leaving them to score 111 to win.When we left in looked like they would not win.
The final match was at South Kilvington against Silton who were winning easily after scoring 149.The ground is very near the A19 so there is a lot of traffic noise.We left just after nine o,clock on warm night.
Long and enjoyable day. More to-morrow.
