Will Luxton and Jonny Bairstow both hit half-centuries as Yorkshire build a useful lead over Division Two leaders Sussex at Scarborough.
Jonny Bairstow's 57 at Scarborough was his first red-ball half-century for the Tykes since the 2018 Roses match at Old TraffordEngland’s Jonny Bairstow hit 57 - his first fifty in first-class cricket since last July - as Yorkshire took charge of their Division Two clash with promotion rivals Sussex at Scarborough.
The 34-year-old then shared a fourth-wicket stand of 90 with Will Luxton, who made his highest score to date of 59 in only his fourth appearance. Bairstow was quickly into battle. After driving his first ball for four down the ground off Fynn Hudson-Prentice, Robinson thought he had him caught behind on four.
Both men are aiming to rekindle Test careers which stalled following England's New Year tour to India. And there was no doubt Bairstow won this battle.
