After a easy afternoon watching the Test Match I wandered up to Headingley to a 20/20 match between Yorkshire and Birmingham.I had agreed to help out on the bookstall as Vivian and Geoff had travelled to Scarborough for the county match tomorrow.
Also it kept my sequence of cricket days.Yorkshire batted first with the two overseas stars Williamson and Finch.However he was soon caught out with a slower ball from Clarke.I was able to watch a rare bowling feat a hat-trick by New Zealander Jeetan Patel having Lees stumped and Gale and Lyth bowled.It was left up to Bresnan and Rashid to put on a partnership of 68 in front of a good crowd.Yorkshire set a target of 147 which was better than it looked after the hattrick.
Birmingham were soon 40 for 4 and Yorkshire were in with a chance.However Laurie Evans ex Durham scored a excellent 69 in 44 balls.No Yorkshire bowler could contain him and hit a six on to the Rugby roof.
A excellent match and and I do not usually say that for a 20/20 match.
