The 20-year-old collided with the concrete foundations of the Western Terrace and had to be taken to hospital for treatment to his leg 9.47pm BST
At Headingley, Yorkshire’s Dom Leech collided with the concrete foundations of the Western Terrace while fielding and sustained a terrible injury to his left leg. The Yorkshire physio, Kunwar Bansil, drove him to hospital after the club was told an ambulance would take two hours. It was Leech’s first game with the Yorkshire first team.
After heavy rain had washed out the second day, play started at noon on the third. But increasingly water kept rising to the surface at the Emerald Stand end of the ground and around the bowlers’ footmarks. After Leech’s injury the umpires took the players off for tea and, after further inspections – booed by sections of the crowd – and under blue skies, play was abandoned for the day. The game is now certain to end in a draw with Lancashire 411 for two. 7.26pm BST
That’s it from me for today, round-up to follow shortly. Thoughts with poor Dom Leech and stand-up applause for Jack Leach, Ali Orr, Kiran Carlson, Chris Cooke, Will Davis, Joey Evison, Ed Barnard and lots of others I’ve probably forgotten on a day for milestones. Thanks for your company, goodnight!
