Headingley Test

Aug 1975: Headingley Cricket Ground, Yorkshire. On the eve of the final days play in the Ashes Test, Australia were poised at 220-3, 225 runs short of Englands total. During the night a group of supporters of a convicted armed robber daub slogans, ''George Davies is innocent'', around the ground, dig up the pitch and pour oil onto it. The match was subsequently abandoned. Here the groundsmen try to repair the damage done as police stand guard. Mandatory Credit: Allsport Hulton/Archive
