Yorkshire

Gavin Hamilton has reflected on the first half of the season for Yorkshire’s women, describing it as “absolutely superb”.

There is a YouTube video entitled Babar v Abdullah Shafique. Who plays the best cover drive? That gives you some kind of idea on the type of player Yorkshire are getting.

It’s a huge honour to have been asked to be one of the 12th men for England during the first Test against India at Headingley, which starts on Friday.

Yorkshire’s hopes of reaching the Vitality Blast quarter-finals were dented by a damaging defeat to Durham at York, the White Rose losing for the fifth time in seven games.

Curtis Sugden hit a superb captain’s century as Yorkshire’s D40 Pursuit team beat Warwickshire by 89 runs at Higham today to sit top of the North and Midlands group after four games. 

Yorkshire's Vitality Blast bandwagon has arrived at York, where Durham are the visitors for Clifton Park's first ever first-team T20 fixture. We get going at 2.30pm in front of a sellout crowd of 4,500. 

Everyone at the Yorkshire County Cricket Club would like to congratulate Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sanjay Patel who has been honoured with a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE).

Yorkshire have a double date with Durham over the next week which is shaping up to be crucial to their hopes of success in this summer’s Vitality Blast.

Yorkshire lost their fourth game in six in the Blast North Group, failing to chase down a target of 206 against the Bears, who won by 32 runs.

The Bears from Warwickshire will this evening aim to stand between Yorkshire and a third successive Vitality Blast victory. Follow this blog for live updates from Headingley and the White Rose's bid to tame the Bears.

Anthony McGrath believes the contest between bat and ball which Headingley pitches are producing in T20 cricket makes for fascinating viewing.
