Some reaction from Yorkshire coach Andrew Gale as his side close in on Division One safety. He said: “I thought it was a good solid week. We spoke before the game about how we’re probably playing our best cricket of the season towards the back end, and we’ve got some confidence back. We had a good solid draw at Trent Bridge and then beat Lancashire in a close battle.
“We came into this game with a lot of confidence, and I want us to jump on the back of that. Before the rain, we were in a commanding position. I’m really pleased that we’ve backed some good work last week [the win over Lancashire], and that’s the first time this season we’ve managed to do that. We certainly won’t be going down to Worcester thinking about the two points we need [to avoid relegation]. For me, it’s about going down there to win. Worcester are a good side, but they’re there for the taking, and I want to finish the season strongly.”
Play has been abandoned here at Headingley, so a draw. Eight points for Yorkshire leaves them needing a maximum of two points from next week’s clash with Worcestershire at New Road to secure safety.
