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.
After being asked to bat first, Yash Vagadia, was caught behind in the first over and Owen Smith fell in a similar fashion in the 6th over: 18-2. Finlay Bean and Harry Duke added 93 in 118 balls before Bean was run out for 49 from 64 balls with 4 fours and a six.
On a scorching day Ben Coad won the toss and elected to bowl and it was he who struck first having Ghumman well caught at 2nd slip by Owen Smith with the first of his 4 catches. Christie and Will Rhodes added 51 in 60 balls before the former was bowled by George Hill for 30.
