After I left yesterday Gale was out in the last over of the day for 40 caught by Davies behind the wicket.
To- day was a misty morning but prospects of warm sunshine.Yorkshire stuggled in the morning against a swing ball and wickets fell consistently included Bresnan. During the morning the umpires complained to the groundman that the batsman were put of by dark windows in the pavilion so a white sheet was hung over the Trueman stand blocking our view of half the ground.
The photograph above shows the new sightscreen.At lunch the score was as the photograph below.
Jack Leaning had batted all morning to score 26 .Jack plays at the weekend at York C.C.C. in the E.C.B Cricket League.After dinner it was Oliver Robinson who dominated the scoring.He was born in Maidstone and had previously played for Kent before moving to Yorshire in 2013.He is a right hand bat and bowls medium pace.Together Leaning and Robinson put on a stand of 124 before Robinson was out for 75 L.B.W to Clark. The innings was just under two hours.Leaning went on to score 60 in 238 minutes. The innings was very slow but Yorkshire needed him to stay there. Yorkshire were out for 273 with the help of 42 extras at 3.40.The over rate for Lancashire was very poor and Yorkshire were left to bowl another 14 overs
till tea and as you can see from the photograph Lancashire were 31 for 2 with Bresnan taking two wickets.As you can see also the time was 4.38 when they went for tea with another 32 overs to bowl which would been a finish after 7.00.However with the loss of another two Lancashire wickets the umpires came off for bad light at 5.50.
The score at the end of the day was 77 for 4 with Clark still in with 27.The forecast for to-morrow at this moment is fine in the morning and rain coming in the afternoon but we will see. There was bad news coming from Lords with Middlesex scoring easily against Yorkshire chasing 400 runs.
