Yorkshire Crush Lancashire To Take First Roses Clash
At Headingly
Yorkshire ran riot at Headingly today to claim victory in the first roses clash of the season, and improve their promotion hopes at the same time. An amazing bowling effort from the Yorkshire bowlers saw them bowl out Lancashire for 118 despite being frustrated at the end when Anderson and Hegg put on 28 in 2 hours, which gave Lancashire some hope. Shaun Briggs was the pick of the bowlers taking 5 wickets in what has been an amazing game for the youngster.
From Briggs View
The best bowling performance of the season from Briggs saw him pick up his first 5 wicket haul of the season. Briggs bowled brilliantly despite going for a few in his first spell, he came back with a bang in the second picking up 4 of the 5 he eventually took. Lancashire had no answer to Briggs' bowling and will be hoping they dont face him for a while!
