The covers are now on at Old Trafford, the sun dropping behind the outdoor nets. A great first day – with particular congratulations to Yorkshire’s 20 year old Finlay Bean who made the first century of the season, 132 balls, 17 fours, and Mohammad Abbas who scythed and stitched his way to six for 49 against Nottinghamshire. Thanks for your messages and comments, see you tomorrow – good night!
