A day of fluctuating fortunes, the fearsome alignment of Yorkshire faded into an army of paper at the hands of Lancashire Jordan Clark at Old Trafford, when he was became the fourth man to take a hat trick in the official history of the Rose Championship.
It was a hat trick of epic proportions: Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Jonny Bairstow, two Test Captains and the Third, Fourth and Test drummers; with a small affair of 30,332 first-clbad races, at a combined average of 47.8, and 14,639 trial races between them.
First, he had Root lbw, forward; then Williamson, trapped too, in the fold, and finally Bairstow, who spun in a spin, before sliding to the third goal, where Jos Buttler managed a nice catch at the knees. Clark embarked on an airplane-style celebration and zoomed to the point where he was overwhelmed by his exhilarating teammates.
Clark ended his day of bowling with the wickets of Jack Brooks and Ben Coad, to give him five for 58, his first five … Wicket haul, next to a one-in-one deviation million to reject Tim Bresnan for zero.
Yorkshire only reached 192 thanks to a wonderful 70th Adam Lyth and a tail-wagging by Steven Patterson and Josh Poysden, the kickstarter signed on an agreement from a Warwickshire match.
In response Lancashire ended on 109 for nine, actually 109 with Liam Livingstone unable to bald with a suspected broken wrist, a stick collapse of ridiculous proportions precipitated by an astonishing one-stop take of Root to dismiss Keaton Jennings for 22 Lancashire then lost another eight wickets for 63, including four wickets for zero points in eight balls while Coad took the stands at Alex Davies, Tom Bailey and Graham Clark's was the first Roses hat-trick for a Lancastrian since Ken Higgs fired Ken Taylor, Ray Illingworth and Jimmy Binks in 1968. Yorkshire won this match by innings – a landmark in the moment, left behind as the game evolved. Clark can still suffer the same fate.
At New Road, there were three wickets for Moeen Ali while Somerset struck 324 for nine; Steve Davies scored the best result with 72. While it was an excellent day for Surrey during the first clash at Trent Bridge. They first fired Nottinghamshire for 210, with four wickets for Morne Morkel, before surpbading Nottinghamshire's score for the loss of a single wicket in double time. Mark Stoneman made 86 off-off 83 balls and Rory Burns was on the brink, 97 not at the end.
In the second division, the wickets tumbled. Kent was eliminated for 104 at Canterbury with three wickets each for Ben Raine and Zak Chappell. In response Leicestershire were saved from the ignominy of 51 for four, thanks to the quarantine of Neil Dexter and Ned Eckersley
to Lord & # 39; s, Middlebad were played for 236, with No9 James Fuller scoring the top scorer with 71 before Warwickshire finished on 152 for four – each wicket a lbw. Will Rhodes ended the day with an unbeaten 53, while Jonathan Trott was sacked three under 50.
Derbyshire were eliminated for 260 at Chesterfield; Ben Sanderson took five for 53. In response Northamptonshire was 74 for three. After an opening partnership of 73, the wickets fell into the pink ball game at Hove, with Susbad beating 211 for six against Glamorgan.
But there were races at Cheltenham, where Gloucestershire finished on 315 for seven, with the only century of the entire championship day at Ryan Higgins, for a 161-ball 105. Ben Stokes has took three wickets, and hit James Bracey on the elbow with a fireball that landed him in hospital for a checkup.
