BACK TO TRENT BRIDGE FOR THE SECOND CHAPTER

By Brian Sanderson,

Another day at Trent Bridge via the A1 this time. After some traffic hold ups we arrived at 10.15 for bacon sandwich and a cup of coffee. Tony arrived a little later and the bacon was sold out. Talk in the morning weather Hales could beat Walter Keeton highest Nottingham score of 312 not out against Surrey in 1939.

Jack Brooks bowled a excellent ball to have Philander caught a slip by Leaning. Next to go was Hales bowled off stump by Pattinson for 236. See above.




He then trooped off the pitch angery with himself for this  may be his last chance to score  over 300 runs in one innings. We were sat in front of the pavilion with a great view of the wicket.Nottingham were soon out for 428 and Yorkshire claimed three bowling points.At lunch Lees and Rhodes had reached 62 with Rhodes scoring some lucky fours. At this stage Tony left to go to Derby to see his Lancashire friends.

The sun eventually came round the pavilion which warm us up after a cold morning.It was no surprise to see Rhodes out caught  at slip and Lees going on to another fifty.


The rest of the afternoon was slow going apart from one huge shout for caught behind of Pujara bat which was turned down by Mallinder.There was another good following of Yorkshire supporters who were a lot happier then yesterday afternoon with Yorkshire 140 for 1. At this stage tea called at Headingley so back up the A1 with no traffic jams. The traffic jams were round Headingley again.

Tomorrow to Weetwood for the first day of the Leeds and Bradford  two day match against Oxford who won the one day match today.
Lees and Pujara coming off for tea.
