Jonny Bairstow reacts to day two
Yorkshire’s Jonny Bairstow
“We’ve got a decent opportunity in the game, but there’s still a way to go.
“Harry played outstandingly well. The positions he got into and the way he built his innings and went about it was really impressive. After his hundred at Essex, to come back and play like he did in a Roses game against a very good attack was very impressive.
“I got a bit of luck. There was a catch that went down, and sometimes it goes your way.
“The last session was nearly 50 overs, and the guys have put in a shift.
“Jos was playing lovely, so that wicket was important. Rooty will play a key part tomorrow because it’s turning now.”

Good morning from Emirates Old Trafford.
Have you got your breath back yet?
What a day yesterday was. A hat-trick for Jordan Clark and wickets for Ben Coad and his seam bowling colleagues.
Yorkshire will start day two with an 83-run lead at the start of their second innings. It seems Liam Livingstone won’t bat in the Red Rose second innings given his fractured left thumb.
There was swing and some nip yesterday as 19 wickets fell. But the sun is shining, so today should be the best day for batting in the match.
