Surrey 95 for 2 v YorkshireScorecardYorkshires batting line-up is often notable less for who is in it than who is absent. Cheap Juan Marichal Jersey . Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root are seldom glimpsed playing for the White Rose these days. The same might soon be true of Gary Ballance, if his unexpected England recall goes according to plan.Now Kane Williamson has joined that trio as an unwanted absentee. Worn down by his arduous schedule - playing in all three formats of the county game is an unforgiving task, especially for international captains returning from a busy home season, the World Twenty20 and the IPL - Williamson and Yorkshire agreed that he would miss this Championship game. His fourth consecutive season at the club will end with Fridays T20 at Trent Bridge. Its very simple. We just thought it would aid him and be the most beneficial thing for him to have a rest. Theres nothing sinister, its as simple as that, Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie said.In an ideal world wed obviously want him to play. But we felt it was in his best interests and everyones best interests that he had a couple of days away to spend some time with his partner and clear his mind a bit. Were fully supportive of that. Hes a great lad and there was some really good, honest communication. Thats the good thing about it: hes confident enough coming to us as a support staff and saying lets open this conversation up.For Yorkshire, at least, the strength of the relationship between player and club indicates Williamsons desire to return to in the future. But the temptation to view Williamsons decision as an indictment of the demands of the modern cricketer are obvious. It does highlight that scheduling is an issue, Gillespie said. Its been an incredibly busy period for everyone. Everybody gets affected with illnesses, injuries and the like.Williamsons decision was particularly ill-timed for Yorkshire: not only are three players absent with England but Travis Head was unable to get his visa processed in time to play against Surrey. The upshot is that Azeem Rafiq, who has a first-class average of 22.10, is down to bat at No. 5, although the sight of David Willey at No. 9 shows that Yorkshire still retain batting depth.For the proudest of cricketing counties, this feels like a decisive juncture in the season. Last weeks defeat to Middlesex at Scarbrough, while only Yorkshires first of the season, highlighted that the team are not quite purring as during title-winning campaigns in the last two seasons.We had a really good chat after the game, Gillespie said. It was an opportunity to have a midseason review. We felt, being honest, that weve played some decent cricket in patches but we havent quite taken those opportunities weve had to take the bull by the horns, as we have in the last couple of years. Thats something were aware of. Weve spoken about, as a batting group, the need to go big if you get in. Weve had a lot of scores between 40 and 80 but havent had lads going on to get those daddy hundreds to really put the pressure on the opposition. Thats something we can be better at.On the first morning at The Oval, Yorkshire bowled and fielded with a zest not to squander the chance to become the first side to win a hat-trick of titles since they themselves last managed the feat, in 1968. Andrew Hodds diving catch, snaffling Dominic Sibley down the leg side, was particularly impressive. But after 23.1 overs of funereal batting in the gloom, during which Surrey stumbled to 36 for 2, Zafar Ansari and Aaron Finch then added 59 at a run a ball before the showers intervened.And while Yorkshire regretted Williamsons absence, Surrey had a surprise omission of their own. Arun Harinath, whose record of 620 runs at 36.47 apiece this season is bettered only by Kumar Sangakkara, is not the complaining type, but had plenty of cause to be miffed about being dropped. Cheap San Francisco Giants Jerseys . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring.

Miguel Sano homered in the eighth and Mauer drove in the final two runs with a double in the ninth for the Twins, who have won seven of nine.Rosario has homered in both of his at-bats as a pinch hitter this season. He was looking offspeed and got it against Ramirez.When the pitching coach is talking to the pitcher, I think hes telling him not to throw me a fastball on the first pitch, said Rosario, who got a changeup and drove it over the right-field wall for his seventh homer.I was just hoping for a hit to maybe get even, and he gave me more than I could ask for, Twins manager Paul Molitor said.Brad Millers solo homer off starter Ervin Santana gave the Rays a 2-1 lead in the sixth.

The Times said Foxs injury could cost him the rest of the minor league season.NO MORE MOCKSThe Twins, who started the season 11-34, would move out of the AL basement with a sweep of the weekend series.We were being somewhat mocked about (being) on pace to set the all-time record for losses, and I understand why people enjoy doing those things when the season goes up in smoke early, Molitor said.SWITCHING SPOTSMiller had his first workout at first base with coach Tom Foley after moving from shortstop due to Tampa Bays acquisition Monday of Matt Duffy from San Francisco. Teammates Chris Archer and Evan Longoria took flips covering first after grounders hit to Miller.
