Yorkshire soothed by Sayers

Yorkshire 221 for 2 (76 overs). Sayers 101, McGrath 22.

McGrath, on 20, pulled Clarke hard but at catchable height to square-leg but Woakes dropped the catch. Clarke still bowling well.

Sayers ton came from 257 balls. A great job for his team against an attack that has, for the most part, bowled well. It's been a display of old-fashioned, thou-shalt-not-pass, traditional opening batsmanship.

Interesting England team picture taken before the Test match began this morning. Twelve players. Eight support staff. With the latter in the middle!
