Yorkshire CCC handed tall challenge by Warwickshire to stay in County Championship title race
Bowling from the Kirkstall Lane end yesterday, the end from which Trueman made his name and which proudly bears that name in the form of the “Trueman Enclosure”, in which spectators sat well-wrapped up on a cool September day, Thompson extended his lead at the top of Yorkshire’s wicket-taking charts with another high-class performance.
The 24-year-old all-rounder captured a season’s-best 5-52, giving him 43 wickets for the Championship programme, 11 more than Yorkshire’s next most successful bowler, captain Steve Patterson, to keep Yorkshire in a match that they must realistically win to retain hope of clinching the title.
