Not quite sure how we haven't taken a wicket yet.

And it did the trick.

Yesss, get in

Not quite sure how we haven't taken a wicket yet.

Jack Brooks got Ben Slater caught at point with the worst ball of the morning, otherwise Notts are going steadily. Sam Northeast looking solid, unfortunately.

Let's get Ballance in early.....and then get him out.

If the sun largely stays away, I wouldn't be surprised if Holland had a bit of joy on this wicket.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Not quite sure how we haven't taken a second wicket yet.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Duckett gone, which is a very good thing indeed.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Come on Whealy, keep your good form going.

 

[st_brendy]

Wheal is so far following in Barker in bowling a touch too short from this end. Far too many balls going over the top of the stumps.

Line very good this morning. But length needs slightly polishing up.

Yep, attack the stumps and let the pitch do the work.

 

[tomw24]

How did that miss the stumps?

 

[Saints_Alive]

Only one wicket but one more before lunch and keep the run rate about 1.5 and that's a good morning.

That boring Skate **** going on about "Portsmouth" and "Shack" again...

He's awful. I think Solent realise it by limiting his involvement this season in favour of far younger (and better) options - but he's still involved too much.

Of course history has a place. But randomly talking about how some bloke once took four wickets in an over in 1956 adds absolutely nothing to the game.

Too many down legside from Holland.

 

[st_brendy]

Yorkshire should be very, very happy with this.

He's marginally better than that bloke from hospital radio, Ken Maxted?...he was always going on about ****ing pigeons!...

 

[Saints_Alive]

Wonder if Mason or Daws will get an over before lunch?

Yorks have scored 43 and at least half of them have been lucky.

Largely irrelevant though for the first session when you've been stuck in. Wickets column is all that matters prior to lunch. And so far they are winning hands down on that.
