Harrogate's Finlay Bean scores first century of county cricket season
Harrogate-born Finlay Bean has scored the first century of the county cricket season while playing for Yorkshire.
Bean, 20, made headlines last year when he scored 441 for Yorkshire second XI — the highest score in second X1 championship history.
At the time he didn't have a professional contract and played for York Cricket Club but he was subsequently signed by Yorkshire and made his first class debut against Lancashire in September.
Bean, who studied at Ripon Grammar School and Queen Ethelburga's, scored 118 off 149 balls against Leicestershire in the opening day of the first fixture of the year at Headingley.
The four-day match is still ongoing.
