And so Friday begins a little bit brighter than yesterday morning, however yesterday was a day of two halves. Cold dark and rainy in the morning and brilliant sunshine and warm in the afternoon and evening.
how strange a thing is weather???
The Day/night started and what a start. the much feted Stoneman who had been brought into the team and replaced Jennings, fell just in the second over and was followed soon after by Westley, 8 not being their magic number.
Cook and Captain Root took over and with Cook on 153 not out and Root scoring 136, it was some first day!.
Jack Russell was at Edgbaston capturing this match on canvas, and by the look of his tweets this painting is going to be outstanding.
Over at HQ, The Vikings were in T20 action and 100+ seemed to be the number of the day for some players as Adam Lyth hit and broke the domestic T20 record of 161, falling 14 short of Chris Gayles world record T20 score of 175.
Well done Lythy!!!
Yorkshire finished on 260, which was the highest domestic T20 scored to date.
The current trophy holders Northants looked as if they would fight back but amazing bowling from Rafiq, Rashid and Patterson saw them finish on 136 all out.
Great going by the lads and we are all holding our breath now to see if they make it to QF.
Things are quiet on the France front as the wait for broadband/Wifi/telephone/TV continues and the data usage is nearly used up, it seems that the local bar does not have free WiFi, although it does seem to have nice wine.
Joking aside it is wonderful to hear the news of life across La Manche.
I am ready to pack my bags and go!
However the handbag is all I am packing today as I head off to work.
Have a fabulous Friday, the weekend is just round the corner.
