Lancashire v Yorkshire
2 September 2014
Day 3 (of 4) - ends with Yorkshire needing 8 wickets to win. Not going to be straightforward.

Today's drink was a can of Beavertown Neck Oil Session IPA at 4.3%. Bought from Beer Central in Sheffield.
I'd saved it during the day in the hope of celebrating Adam Lyth passing Darren Lehman's 252 to become Yorkshire's highest individual score in a Roses match.
But he holed out to mid on for 251. That was (however) both his own highest score and the highest score by a Yorkshire batsman at Old Trafford. So
... that'll have to do.
The beer seemed a little over carbonated. Maybe I'd just shook it up a bit. Very pale. Essentially yellow. The first hits feels dry in the mouth. Hay and straw. Gives way to a bit of lemon (even lemongrass). I like the bitterness. Best way I can describe it is "bitter". Not sure I'd describe it as an IPA ... session or otherwise. But it's a very nice flavour full beer.
I haven't been to the rolling refurbishment Old Trafford for a while. I like the new inside of the old Pavilion. Nice & bright & inviting.
