Yorkshire have George Hill to thank on the opening day of the Roses match. George’s career best 6-26 turned Yorkshire’s fortunes around after Lancashire had taken early control.
George, who was returning to bowling after an injury, started his spell with Lancashire already on 180-0.
Helped by a cloud laden Manchester sky, George’s accuracy cast him in the role of Lancashire’s tormentor-in-chief.
Exploiting the conditions to the full, George had figures of 5-5 at one point during his exceptional spell of bowling.
Claiming the first six Lancashire wickets to fall, George was instrumental in undoing Lancashire’s solid start to leave them on 272-8.
