Interesting day's cricket at York. Having watched the British Lions live, I turned up a bit late, so I missed Kohler-Cadmore's innings. Apparently he had 'played some good shots' in his 22. It looked the sort of fresh pitch where big, strong seam bowlers - like Derbyshire's - could cause problems.As usual, nothing on the OS, re yesterdays match at York for the seconds.

There was plenty of playing and missing, and the occasional edge, as Tattersall, Rhodes and Waite all fell to wk/slip catches after promising beginnings. Leaning, however, survived and went on to anchor the innings as the likes of Gibson, Thompson and Rafiq attacked. Rafiq made a valuable and attractive fifty which turned the innings round.
Perhaps conditions had eased, and certainly the ball was much older, when Fisher came in to play some Graveney-esque drives in a fine innings of 38, I think. Leaning battled on, solid and occasionally fluent, and the the tail contributed little after Fisher, Yorkshire reached 302, which was good from 128 for 5 at lunch.
Fisher then went past the bat 2 or 3 or 4 times an over, but without luck, while Wainman was as bad at York as he had been good at Scarborough - the dangers of making judgements on one sighting! It was 30 for 0 off 6 overs when I had to leave, nearly all the runs off Wainman.
I left because I was frozen, dressed for the hot weather I had left Manchester in, not for the 15C (feels like 10 in the north wind) at York. Hope for warmer today, but I'll have a coat and trousers with me, this time.
Hope that does you, Stu.

Just got home from day 2. Derbyshire topped our score by about 80. Good innings by someone called Jones - a trialist, apparently - who made a stylish hundred. Cork made 70-odd, and few of their batsmen looked in any trouble against any of our bowlers except Carver, who maintained a good length, with some loop, despite being hit for a few straight sixes.As usual, nothing on the OS, re yesterdays match at York for the seconds.

Fisher and the other seamers were most disappointing on a flat pitch. No consistency of length; no threat. Rafiq was flat and mechanical.
We had about 15 overs to bat out, and Kohler-Cadmore impressed with some powerful drives and one fierce cut, while looking fairly secure in defence, too. Tattersall simply impressed, just looks a good player at the moment, whatever his shortcomings may have been before.
So we're about 40 behind.
Lovely day today, not too hot, perfect weather for cricket. Decent turn-out.
