Yorkshire's decision to bowl first was probably made in the hope' of there being enough in the pitch to inhibit Warwickshire's early progress but on another hot morning this amounted to only modest movement Moreover the pitch's comfortable pace and lack of bounce allowed no margin of error tor any type of bowling and Warwickshire went past 100 in 24 overs for the loss of David Smith caught behind pushing at widish outswinger Early on too Yorkshire also discovered that on a parched-looking outfield any stroke which beat the field even by the narrowest of margins raced away to the boundary and so Dyer and Kallicharran did not need to stray from the orthodox Carrick makes amends Eventually Dyer gave Oldham left-handed return catch off a leading edge but Kallicharran reached 50 from 61 balls without needing to do anything lavish and Yorkshire could have done without Amiss when six surviving a chance to Bairstow standing up to Oldham This was not the only chance or half-chance to go astray before Kallicharran taking a second run to third man when Carrick misfielded was narrowly run out by the eventual long accurate throw to the wicket-keeper When the time arrived to hit over the top Amiss and Hum-page did so successfully enough to add 57 in eight overs One stroke indeed over mid-off by Amiss off Sidebottom was as good as anything seen so far before the
