This was my sixth successive day of watching cricket which started with a trip to Ripon to pick my sister up.
Last night Northants had lost another two wickets after I went home when it was raining. They had started again at 6 P.M. just as I was eating my dinner.
The forecast was showers in the afternoon and so Yorkshire had to obtain the last six wickets as soon as possible.In the first over Robert Newton was soon out and we had a excellent view of it from the Trueman Stand. Also there was Ron Stansfield and later Brian Workman and his son Jack.Congratulation on Jack been been picked a Yorkshire under 15 squad.
Wickets fell steady until the final wicket who put on 50 runs.The batsmen were David Murphy,Scottish one day international and Azhar Ullah. He played in the Bradford League last season . The final wicket fell at 12.50 as it looked like we would be coming back after lunch.
Yorkshire won by an innigs and 120 runs.The photograph above is taken from the Executive balcony in the new pavilion when I visited three years ago.
Two days off and then let us hope the weather is fine for some league matches on Saturday.
