By Brian Sanderson,
On another sunny morning I walked into the stadium to watch the second day of the Yorkshire Seconds against Lancashire. Yorkshire,s opening pair of Hudd and Callis were still batting until Callis was out L.B.W to Reece on the score of 87.Over the next forty overs Yorkshire lost eight more wickets for 82 runs. This was mainly due to the bowling of Reece and Lilley (on the Yorkshire scorecard it said Willey ).
The Yorkshire batting was poor weather it was due end of season feelings, I do not know. It was lieft up to Karl Carver and Moin Ashraf to put a small smile on the few Yorkshire followers who had turn out to watch this match. Many would be at Trent Bridge or watching the match on Sky.The two of them put a stand of 61 before Ashraf give a easy catch to Livingstone ,finishing the total to 230. Carver posting a personal best of 36 not out.Extras we the second highest scorer with 40 helped by some wide balls by Hurt.
All through the day mobile phones were used to find out the first team score at Trent Bridge also the score was shown on the big screen. After tea it was the opening stand of Adathangelou and Hameed to put the Yorkshire attack to the sword.Adathangelou ,photographed at the start of the blog, scored 107 not out in 120 balls including 13 fours and three big sixes.All the Yorkshire bowlers were hit to all parts of the ground apart from Wainman who bowled his six overs for twelve runs.
By the end of the day Lancashire were 362 runs in front with ten wickets in hand. One interesting fact about both Lancashire innings Yorkshire have not let a bye through in 592 runs. They have used two wicket keepers Barny Gibson ,who came in for the injured Plunkett and Andrew Hodd.
It will be interesting tomorrow when Lancashire declare and if Yorkshire can bat any better than today.
