1.09pm UPDATE: Duanne Olivier left the field this morning as a precaution having felt a twinge in his right knee whilst bowling. We fully expect him to be fit for Friday’s Championship clash with Notts at Trent Bridge
Lunch Yorkshire remain on course for victory having taken two wickets during a rain-shortened final morning of their three-day friendly against Leeds/Bradford MCC Universities at Weetwood.
Start of play was delayed by half an hour following overnight and a touch more morning rain.
Leeds/Bradford, who reached lunch at 142-5 from 53 overs, resumed their second innings on 91-3, with captain Angus Dahl and Saad Ashraf unbeaten having shared 61 for the fourth wicket.
They had taken that partnership to 69 by the time Duanne Olivier bowled Dahl for 36, a full toss which was inside-edged onto the stumps, leaving the score at 99-4 three balls into the 38th over.
Unfortunately for Yorkshire, Olivier was only able to bowl one more ball before pulling up in his follow through feeling his right knee. He left the field immediately and has not returned as a precaution. He is fully expected to be fit for Friday at Trent Bridge.
Ashraf, the pick of the Leeds/Bradford batsmen in this match – he also got a polished 24 in the first innings, reached his fifty in the last 10 minutes of the session, off 125 balls and is unbeaten on 52.
Just before that, Yorkshire captain Steve Patterson had Darren Ironside caught low down at first slip by Tom Kohler-Cadmore as the score fell to 134-5 in the 51st over.
Ashraf reaches 50 off 125 balls and has played nicely – in both innings actually. 138-5.

12.51pm Ironside gone! He’s been caught at first slip low down by TKC off Patterson, 18. Leeds/Bradford now 134-5 in the 51st over. Ashraf on 48.
12.43pm Mat Pillans is bowling his first over of the second innings. Leeds/Bradford 127-4 with Saad Ashraf on 45.
Ouch! Having bowled one ball at new batsman Darren Ironside, Duanne Olivier has had to leave the field at Weetwood. Too soon to say what the problem is, other than he was indicating an issue around the right knee. Let’s hope it’s nothing serious… #yccc ?

11.38am Play started half an hour late in the end, and we’re in the fourth over of the morning. Leeds/Bradford are 93-3 in their second innings and having to navigate some accurate bowling from Duanne Olivier and Ben Coad.
11.13am Good news, the covers are off and the mopping up process is in full flow.
10.51am Can safely say we will have a delayed start at Weetwood, where it is still raining.
10.31am It has started raining at Weetwood, unfortunately. Every chance of a delayed start.
Good morning from Weetwood ahead of the third and final day of this first-class friendly against Leeds/Bradford MCC Universities.
There has been some overnight rain at the ground, but the covers are off and we should be good to go at 11am, when the hosts will resume their second innings on 91-3, trailing Yorkshire by 279.
Plenty of positives have come from this fixture for the White Rose, both with bat and ball, highlighted by centuries for Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Jonny Tattersall and five wickets in the first innings for Matthew Waite, who is an almost certain starter at Notts on Friday.
Leeds/Bradford have enjoyed brief moments of success in this clash. Currently, captain Angus Dahl and Saad Ashraf, who have played nicely in both innings, have shared 61 unbroken for the fourth wicket.
