Missing Scarborough, so took a drive over there today. Parked near the ground and as the gates were open, had a wander in. Nodded to the ghosts of seasons past & 3 pics later I was out and on my way home. Job done.

Fabulous 9 wkt. win for
@YorkshireCCC
at Grace Road
@leicsccc
today.
Adam Lyth 132 n.o. off 127, backed up brilliantly by Tom K-C & Chet Pujara, 74 & 75 respectively. What did Lyth do on 99 that Brook could only manage on 98, at Chelmsford?
Yep, take a drinks break!!
Congratulations on your debut Will Luxton, for
@YorkshireCCC
today at Scarborough, 11-7-2022. 31 very useful runs to get you started. Lyth calms Will's nerves prior to facing his first ball.
Huge congratulations to
@harry_brook88

@YorkshireCCC
on your "ton". Last year you paused on 99 for a drink; this year, on 99, you changed your bat! Each time you reached a hundred with a very similar glance towards 3rd man. Mr. Cool!

Mrs Heald and I went out for a lovely lunch today - a flasked coffee and a kit-kat (each!!) on our stroll across the top of the Chevin. The occasion? To celebrate the one billionth second of our marriage (at 12:46 & 40secs. to be precise). 1,000,000,000 seconds & counting.

Acknowledging the applause,
@Harry_Brook_88
upon reaching his hundred. 2nd pic, I am sure appears to dedicate this century to his paternal Grandma, Pauline. Nice one, Harry.
No half measures for Harry Brook as he smacks another six to reach his latest 100 on day 3 at Chelmsford. He rightly looks chuffed with himself. Good show Harry! What a partnership again by Root and

Over 200 for second match in succession.

@YorkshireWomens
cricket in 2020, for putting their time and effort into making cricket happen for the Women and girls in Yorkshire. I have enjoyed watching and photographing your limited season and sincerely hope for more in 2021.
Aire Wharfe season 2020 under way! "Hey! Gimme an Elbow bump" is just not the same. Parallel lines at Calverley and regular sanitisation of the "vector of disease" keeps everybody safe and allows cricket to be played.

victory over

but huge congratulations to
@sterdester
(Sterre Kalis) on her 87. Anybody not pleased for her, please leave the room! All pics of Sterre.
Outstanding support shown for the women's game. The ladies are highly skilled & very well coached. Matches are played competitively but with a smile on players' faces. I hope specs are allowed in to watch next season. Pic shows, N Diamonds' England player, Linsey Smith bowling.
Last year, some may remember, I celebrated being married for exactly one billion seconds. Well today is mine and Helen's 'real' wedding anniversary - our 32nd. That means we were married on 11-3-1989. If you add all the digits together: 1+1+3+1+9+8+9, guess what? Yep, it = 32!
How on earth did the match start on time this morning? There's been rain on rain, upon rain upon rain, then it rained again. The magnificent ground staff, that's how. Well done all of you.

All yours
@Tommo455
! 5 for 52 in 15.4 overs. In the mood. Well bowled. 2 wkts apiece for Fisher & Patterson, 1 for Coad but
@YorkshireCCC
require 174 to win with 7 wkts in hand. In light of the fact 32 wkts have tumbled in 2 days (147.1 overs) we'll need to be at our best.
A few more from
@YorkshireCCC
at Bristol on Day 2. Harry Duke dabs one for a single. Two Harrys connect for 91 runs. The icing on the cake
@Harry_Brook88
reaches another 100. Note to Harry. This time on 99 you changed your batting partner!

on your excellent victory over Lancashire Thunder today. I'm so frustrated something cropped up this morning to prevent me from being in Liverpool to photograph the celebrations.
Enjoy the evening! See you in York.
