Yorkshire vs Hampshire – County Championship Division 2 – Yorkshire show fight on a rain curtailed day
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789, reaching 100 for 3 in reply to the visitor’s mammoth 427, at the Headingley, Leeds, May 17, 2012.
With the sun lasting only a single day, Day 2 was greeted with the customary overcast conditions and rain-delays as batsmen again faced the challenge of having to earn every run. Hampshire flourished under clear sky last evening, posting a commanding 352 for 5, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Bates-c1947.
However, resumption saw the weather leveling out the playing field. Bates ensured he reached his century after recommencing from his overnight score of 88. The youngster scored his first championship hundred, and seemed on course to face the challenges of a relatively tough day but walked back soon after – albeit in unfortunate circumstances.
Katich drove down the ground to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AU-Rashid-c1106, while Chris Wood became Patterson’s first victim of the day.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Tomlinson-c1656 (11) helped their side to attain maximum bonus points as their late resilience aided in their side crossing 400. Rashid then got rid of both tail-enders, cutting the visitors off at 427.
Yorkshire innings started poorly with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Balcombe-c1327.
The hosts further suffered a blow after their skipper, Andrew Gale, who earlier instigated the run-out of Bates, was at the receiving end of a similar treatment. Gale responded to a call from Phil Jacques, their overseas Australian recruit, who immediately set-off after pushing the ball to the cover region. However, a quick pick up and release from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MA-Carberry-c1868 caught the Yorkshire captain short of the crease.
The home side was reeling at 32 for 3 but Jacques and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Ballance-c1465 steadied the innings – adding an unbeaten 68, with the former completing a hard-earned half-century.
