Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I taea e te rangatira o Ingarangi, a Alastair Cook, te eke i te toru noa iho i te wa i whakatuwherahia ai e ia te patu mo te MCC i ta raatau tukinga ki a LV = County Championship toa Yorkshire i Abu Dhabi. I muri i te top-scored i roto i te t20 hinga o MCC ki Sussex i te Paraire, e kore e taea e Cook te tāruatia tona puka rite i mau ia i lbw e Ryan Sidebottom, ki tona taha katoa i roto i mo 221 i roto i to ratou innings tuatahi. I tīmata kaha te whakautu a Yorkshire, ā, ka mutu te rā tuatahi ki te 82 mō te rua, ā, ko Adam Lyth - te tangata e taea te hoa ki a Cook i te haerenga a Ingarangi ki ngā Moana-a-Kiwa - i eke ki te hawhe rau kore whiu. I whiua a Alastair Cook mō te toru i te rā tuatahi o te whakataetae o te rohe i Abu Dhabi. Kei te whakanui a Ryan Sidebottom o Yorkshire i muri i tana hopu i a Cook Lbw mo nga oma e toru noa iho. Ka taea e Cook te kite ināianei mēnā kei a Lyth ngā mea e tika ana hei noho i taua wāhi i muri i tana karanga tuatahi i te tīmatanga o tēnei wiki. I tangohia e Sidebottom a Nick Compton - tetahi i mahi tahi me Cook i nga Whakamatau - me te poi tuatahi o te tukinga i te wa i eke ai te rangatira o te MCC ki nga karapu a Jonny Bairstow. I muri tata mai ka whai a Cook i a Compton ki roto i te pavilion i mua i te taunga o Michael Carberry me James Hildreth ki te kaipuke. I eke a James Hildreth ki te 89 hei awhina i te MCC ki te eke ki te 221 i roto i a raatau waahanga tuatahi i Abu Dhabi. Kaore a Adam Lyth i hinga i te 53 i te wa i kati ai a Yorkshire i te ra tuatahi i te 82 mo te rua hei whakautu. I eke te tokorua ki te 74 mō te toru o ngā poaka i mua i te hinganga o Carberry ki te 36, engari i akiaki a Hildreth, ā, i eke ki te 89 i mua i te putanga o Tim Bresnan i a ia i te wharekai. Ko Daryl Mitchell (54) me Zafar Ansari (24) anake te hunga i taea te hanga i te reira ki nga tohu takirua i te mea e rima nga kaitakaro whakamutunga ka taea te whakauru i nga mahi e rima anake i waenganui ia ratou. I muri mai ka uru a Lyth ki te pokapū o te atamira i tana tiimata i te whakautu a Yorkshire, ahakoa i ngaro ia i tana hoa whakatuwhera me te rangatira a Alex Lees i te mea i mau ia i muri i te poipoi a Matt Dunn mo te 11. Ko te Whare Taakaro o Sheikh Zayed i Abu Dhabi kei te manaaki ano i te whakataetae rama waipuke. Ko te hawhe-rau o te 72-pōro mai i Lyth i pupuri i nga toa o te wa i runga i te wa tae noa ki a Jack...
E toru noa iho ngā whiwhinga a te rangatira o Ingarangi i te whutupaoro o Sheikh Zayed. I whakakahoretia a Nick Compton mō te pīni i te whakataetae o te rohe toa. I eke a James Hildreth ki te 89 hei awhina i te MCC ki te tuku 221 i te wahanga tuatahi. I kati a Yorkshire i te rā tuatahi i Abu Dhabi i runga i te 82 mō te tokorua.
