By Brian Sanderson,
There was a chance to see a first class match against Pakistan A at Headingley. Yorkshire were giving first class debuts to Elliot Callis, Ryan Gibson, Harry Brook and Jonathon Read.Yorkshire batted first at the request of Pakistan on a bright morning. Again the forecast was rain later.Soon Lees and Brook were out to Mir Hamza who looks a good left arm quick bowler.
He is 23 years old and has played for Pakistan X1 and Pakistan under 19.In October he removed Buttler and Birstow with successive balls.
During the morning Callis and Leaning put on stand of 56.Also during the morning Bilawal Bhatti bowled four wides in consequence balls which a new experience for me to see.When Leaning was out Rhodes and Gibson did not score many.
So at tea Yorkshire were 175 for 5.Callis was finally out for 84 off 157 balls which was a excellent effort for his first first class match.. Rafiq was next to go on 48. The end of the day Yorkshire were 243 for 8 and it stated to rain again and it was freezing watching the cricket.There must have been about 100 spectators which were mainly parents or friends of the players.
Forecast at this moment is sun for tomorrow which will be very nice.
