Match notes

Briggs suffered a violent fit on the first night of this first Test in Yorkshire, was detained in Cheadle Asylum and played no further cricket until the next season.
Hearne did the hat-trick in the second innings when he dismissed Hill, Gregory and Noble for 'ducks'.
England required a further 158 runs for victory when rain caused the final day's play to be abandoned.
