Jonny Bairstow hits his first first-class century in two years as Yorkshire close day one on 372-5 against Middlesex.
England’s Jonny Bairstow scored his first first-class century in a little over two years as Yorkshire had much the better of the opening day of their County Championship promotion battle with Middlesex at Headingley.
Yorkshire started this game, the 11th of 14, in third place in Division Two - three points behind Middlesex in second. Both won their respective fixtures last week. By the time Lyth reached his fifty off 56 balls, Bean had been removed for 27 - bowled by Henry Brookes having dragged on attempting to pull.
Yorkshire’s third half-century partnership came via Bairstow and captain Jonny Tattersall through to tea, where the score was 240-4. Bairstow went on to reach his fifty off 63 balls and shared in Yorkshire’s fourth half-century partnership of the innings, this time with sixth-wicket partner Hill.
