http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Northamptonshire-c824 – County Championship Division 2 – Yorkshire seamers limit Notts to 253
Yorkshire seamers put in a stellar effort to limit http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 to just 253 on Day 1 of the County Championship game, played at the Headingley, Leeds, on May 30, 2012.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steven-Patterson-c2585 also left a telling mark after earning a debut cap by bagging 3.
At the close of play, Yorkshire had reached 27 for no loss – openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Lumb-c1981 Root occupying the crease on 14 and 7 respectively.
Notts opted to bat but lost their way in the first hour of play. Patterson began the rout by dismissing openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-James-Boyd-Moss-c86323 White.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Willey-c1342, all of whom chipped in notably.
Hall and Murphy’s partnership yielded 76, after which the latter edged behind off Sidebottom for 40. The captain then stood in 42 and 69-run stands with de Lange (23) and Willey (39) for the seventh and eighth- wicket respectively - the former’s stay ended by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anthony-McGrath-c45053, who pinned him lbw.
Patterson then returned to break Hall’s resistance with a ball which went through the player’s defensive. Nonetheless, his innings of 79, which included 10 boundaries, had ensured that his side posted a respectable total.
Sidebottom and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AU-Rashid-c1106, then got one scalp each to dismiss the visitors on 253 in 88.4 overs. The pacer caught Willey lbw, while Rafiq cleaned up Oli Stone (13).
With five overs to negotiate, Lyth and Root ensured that their side ended the day with all 10 wickets intact. Lyth’s unbeaten 14 included 3 boundaries, two of which came in the first over bowled by Willey.
