It'll be all the people who bought day 5 ashes tickets.



183/6



Does anyone know if the ashes tickets can be used in Scarbourgh?

Ashes tickets weren't valid for this fixture, so it wasn't that.



Bloody dreadful day. Some terrible shots from our batsmen.



Thinking of going again on Friday, can see all but the last half an hour and still make it back to see Salford. Just hope we're still in the game...

Pfft, beautiful day topping up my tan in the sun - with two of your lot for company too! At 2-2 I thought it might be even better than it ended up being! The 5(?) drops by various slip fielders were the only real downers.



Not sure how good our bowling was, but the run rate was painful, if the forecast is right there's little chance of a result I'd have thought.



Very good turnout too, no offers on as far as I know.

Just seemed to be a large queue at the ticket office with people flashing membership cards.



And I counted six drops, could've been embarrassing if they'd been held! With the weather as it is today, I'd say a draw's a very likely outcome.



Saw a Bradford Northern top knocking around as well, don't see many of them!

Bloody Lankies, bringing their Manchester weather with them...

Lancs gone for 276, another 5 for for Adil Rashid.



If the weather at Headingley is as nice as it is here 5 miles away then we should have a decent afternoon for batting.

Rudolph goes first ball

So ashes tickets can't be used for this game?



WTF?

36/3 at tea

Not bad work from Lancs that considering we're missing a raft of bowlers.



It's only Yorkshire mind

Good old reliable Yorkshire, back to their usual form. Last week's win obviously just a blip.

Bit of a recovery here from the buggers, 187-6.



Bloody cold on the top deck of this East Stand, too. Hell of a breeze!

I'd move from up there sharpish, or you are about to get very wet!

Safely in the long room, got here just in time! Looking a lot brighter again now though.

Was thinking of heading up this afternoon but the forecast is still pretty mixed.

Bopara is currently 152 not out...is he going to walk back into the England team a la Ian Bell and Steve Harmison whenever they do something decent in CC??? Hmmm, I doubt it too...

Another 50 for Adil Rashid as Yorkshire close in on Lancashire's score, it would take an almighty cock-up from one side for a result in the game now, so with these two teams I guess anything is still possible!

When was the last time a Yorkshire number eight made consecutive Championship centuries?

Whilst also taking consecutive 5 fors?

He could be playing himself onto the plane for South Africa if he keeps this late season form up.

Yorkshire 13 ahead at tea.



Bat on the rest of tonight, get 130 or so ahead then have a dart at knocking Lancs over tomorrow.

Yorks 299-6 a lead of 20 and Bopara hit 201 today!

Rashid's century up, shortly after Brophy fell for 99.



As said above, consecutive Championship centuries and 5 fors for Rashid, great effort.

He should be first choice spinner for the SA series. It maybe harsh on Swann but Rashid has too much potential to be he;d back any longer.

Bugger. That's all I've really got to say! Not long since left and now I'm on my way to the Willows so today's not going to improve much!
