On this day in 1890, Yorkshire defeated Gloucestershire by eight wickets to begin the first official County Championship match. Celebrating birthdays today: Steve Winwood, Gabriel Byrne, Tony Hawk, and Catherine Tate. In honour of Florence Nightingale's birth on this date in 1820, today is International Nurses' Day, so best wishes/big thanks to Annetan's daughter and any other nurses out there for doing a tough but important job.
