By Brian Sanderson,
On Friday, I had a chance to go to the second day of the England v Sri Lanka Test Match at Headingley.
I received a staff wrist band to go into the ground as I was helping on the bookstall. The stall sells cricket and fiction books in aid of Yorkshire Cricket.The stall is next to the pitch and I was able to see Johny Bairstow get his maiden test century at Headingley.
As he was nearing his century people gathered round the boundary in anticipation of the event and it was a privilege to be there when he reached the landmark.He went on to score 140 which helped England reach 298.
There was a very good crowd which was good to see Headingley full even t a hough numerous people were not watching the cricket.
When Sri Lanka started to bat wickets fell quickly and Anderson had figures of 5-16 which are his best bowling figures in a test match at Headingley for him. Sri Lanka were bowled out for 91.Then my thoughts turned to Rugby League and the Magic Weekend in Newcastle.
