Lancashire were in control in a match of the County Championship Division One against Yorkshire, at the Aigburth, Liverpool in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. The visitors were bowled out for 141 runs on day-one of the four-day game. In reply, the Lancashire team managed 56 runs
for the loss of just one wicket.
The home team’s captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glen-Chapple-c60141, won the toss and chose to field. He expected some moisture in the pitch, which could give the early advantage to the seamers and this was exactly what happened when the match commenced.
Yorkshire got off to a dismal start, losing their opening batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Lumb-c1981 Root, who failed to make an impression and was sent back to the pavilion with just 30 runs on the board.
The visitors’ captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Gale-c1039, walked out in the middle to join opening batsman, Joe Sayers. The pair batted well under pressure, guiding the team out of trouble. They put together 65 runs for the third wicket, guiding the team’s total to 95.
However, Saayers got out after scoring a valiant 53 runs off 148 balls. He took his time to settle down and would have liked to carry onto make a big one for his team, but was unable to do so.
Gale was also unable to capitalize onto the start he got to his innings, as he was dismissed for 31 runs. The lower-order batsmen were unable to cope with the pressure and wickets started to tumble in the visitors’ innings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Ballance-c1465 was the next man to be dismissed after scoring just six runs. He was followed by wicketkeeper batsman, Sam Guy, who managed only eight runs in his short stay at the crease.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Sidebottom-c2333 remained unbeaten on seven, as he ran out of partners from the other end in a
very quick time.
Sri Lanka’s, Farveez Maharoof, was the pick of the bowlers for his team, grabbing four wickets in the innings. He got good support by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Keedy-c58524, who also sent four batsmen back to the pavilion.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Moore-c2572, early. He only managed to add one run to the total before being dismissed.
However, opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Horton-c2167, and first-drop, Karl Brown, steadied the ship for their team. They scored an unbeaten 47 runs for the second wicket, before the day was called-off by the umpires. Horton was unbeaten on 39 whereas his partner was not-out on
14.
