COLD DAY AT HEADINGLEY



By Brian Sanderson,

It was the third day of the Lancashire match at Headingley and again looking at the weather forecast.The B.B.C stated dry so I sent off with hope for a full day cricket. Yorkshire were soon reduced to 89 for 6-a lead of 201- which was not good enough. Thoughts of a three hundred lead would be nice.

After lunch I had a chance to meet Bryan Stott and Ken Taylor, photograph above. I had a pleasant forty-five minutes with them showing them round the museum.When I arrived back the last four wickets had put on 147 ,led by Plunkett scoring 57.

After tea Lancashire lost Tom Smith to Steve Patterson during the 23.2 overs bowled .The days play was halted after 5 P.M because of bad light.The score being 41 for 1 still needing 308 to win the match which leaves a interesting day tomorrow subject to weather.
