The opening day of Yorkshire’s two-day friendly against Durham at Emerald Headingley was abandoned without a ball bowled.
Overnight and morning rain meant no play was possible, and a decision was made shortly after the scheduled start time of 11am.
Both sides will try again tomorrow, when it is likely they will each bat and bowl for half a day apiece.
This is Yorkshire’s second two-day friendly but Durham’s first as the pair build up to Saturday’s Bob Willis Trophy opener at Emirates Riverside.
On another hot day and in front of a decent crowd, Durham won the toss and elected to bat. Subhaan Ali struck in his first over having Drissell caught at mid-off by Ben Coad and Isaac Bepey bowled McKinney to leave Durham 16-2 in the 4th over.
Game 1 was a “Group” game whereas Game 2 was a friendly. Winning the toss Yorkshire elected to bowl, however 24 from the first over wasn’t foreseen.
Claudie Cooper reflected on a “tough” day at the office as Yorkshire were beaten by The Blaze at Chesterfield today.
