'Figures tell their own tale of how Johnny Wardle, Yorkshire's No. 7 batsman, refused to be fettered by Lancashire's steady attack and well-set field.
His knock of 79, a personal "best", must rank as one of the brightest ever in this series, in which sprinkling sixes over the spectators is regarded as unconventional.
Hutton's exit left behind a long shadow. Vic Wilson plodded to 64 in 3 1/2 hours, but Wardle swung his bat and Yorkshire's fortunes. They reached 313.
The Old Trafford wicket is problematical, and Wardle is a left-arm spin bowler. It could be Wardle's day again.'
