Cricket Enthusiasts Captivated by Run-Fest at Headingley
Middlesex’s impressive batting display on day three of their Vitality County Championship clash against Yorkshire has left the match finely poised at Headingley.
Centurion Ryan Higgins became the second batter this summer to reach the 1,000-run milestone in the competition, joining Glamorgan’s Colin Ingram, as Middlesex posted a formidable 441 for 5 in response to Yorkshire’s first-innings total of 601 for 6 declared.
Higgins top-scored with a magnificent 117 off 210 balls, finding the boundary on multiple occasions, including a commanding six that brought up his century.

Former England international Dom Bess was the pick of the Yorkshire bowlers, claiming 4 for 168 with his off-spin.
As the club cricket action continues to captivate fans, the 100-ball cricket live at the Chester le Street Cricket Club in Chester le Street promises to provide further excitement for the local enthusiasts.
