When I arrived at Harrogate in the morning of the third day of the Yorkshire and Nottingham match ,there was myself and Ian from Lancaster to watch the first ball at 10.30.
Yorkshire were wanting to set up a total in the afternoon for Nottingham to chase.Will Rhodes was soon out trying to cut a stright ball.However Ryan Gibson shown again what a good prospect he is. As the photograph shows he scored 127 in 142 balls with 20 fours and 1 six.This helped Yorkshire to a total of 249. Dan Hodgson did not bat has he had two figures strapped which must mean he will be doubtful for the last two matches.
At this stage I left to go to the hospital. When I return Nottingham had been set 285 to win . There were 16 overs left and were about 100 to score. The opening bat Jacob Daniel Libby ,who played for Somerset last year, went on to score 112 . Another batsman who smashed three sixes was Matthew Henry Cross who has played for Scotland A.
It came down that Nottingham wanted three runs to win and Shaw bowling to Franks with two balls to bowl. Josh Shaw shattered the stumps and Yorkshire won the exciting match by 1 ball and three runs.Over the border the first team were also winning.They play Nottingham next week so I hope the first also get a victory against Nottingham.
