KENT V YORKSHIRE - DAY 1

Yorkshire won the toss and batted. They got of to a decent start and moved to 52 before loosing Craig White for 21. McGrath and Sayers batted well up to lunch, Sayers typically solid, McGrath playing nicely. The pair went onto the attack in the afternoon session, Sayers was far more positive and mid-way through the afternoon moved his strike rate into the 40's, it had been in the 20's before lunch. The pair batted superbly throughout the afternoon and after tea both went through to their centuries. The partnership was worth 203 when McGrath fell to Andrew Hall for exactly 100 (223 balls with 12 fours). Younus Khan went cheaply for 7 but Joe Sayers, not for the first time this season, has batted throughout the day to make a maginificant 137 (297 balls, 19 fours). Rudolph is unbeaten at the close on 19. Yorkshire have finished the day on a very impressive 310 for 3.
