Pears attack seem to have run out of steam now, hopefully Gabriel injects something to get 2 more performances but I think the fat lady is warbling.

Gidman & Kervezee had to come to the party with no Mo for most of the summer & neither did in any great form.

Had planned a day at Headingley today but my son had a football tournament. Woke him up this morning and he's ill so not even got to that. Only bonus is can watch on TV whilst wishing I was there!

Yorkshire 119/1 21.4 overs, Lyth 74* and whoever the Gloucester keeper is hasn't covered himself in glory.

[Chris Jameson]

Got to say the fielding from Gloucestershire has been abysmal, think it started with some terrible keeping from the wicketkeeper and reached a new low with Norwood with a simple caught and bowled which he caught and inexplicably then dropped as he was about to celebrate. His punishment is to field in front of the old Western Terrace.

Yorkshire 194/3 34.3 overs.

[Villan For Life]

From the start they had I thought Yorkshire would have got 350 plus. Gloucester are in with a chance now.

Gloucester did well to restrict them, think Yorkshire are at least 30 short.
