7.15pm Some reaction from Adam Lyth
“I’ve felt in good nick all season, I just haven’t quite got the big score I did today. I’m over the moon with it.
“It was probably my best knock in a chase, which I’m thrilled with.
“Over the last few years, we’ve not been the best chasing side, but I thought the way we went about our business today was second to none.
“I’m happy with the way I’ve gone and the rest of the lads as well.”

Good morning from the Fischer County Ground, Grace Road.
We have been greeted by a lovely morning, hazy sunshine, although there has been talk of some thunderstorms around the Leicester area today, so don’t be surprised if it changes quickly.
Anyway, the players are out there warming up.
Yorkshire are looking to put a frustrating week behind them in the Royal London one-day Cup. They lost back-to-back home games against Warwickshire and Worcestershire last Sunday and on Wednesday before Friday’s chance to bounce back against Nottinghamshire was washed out at Emerald Headingley.
They current have three points from four games and face a Leicestershire side who have played three, won one and lost two.
We start at 11am. Enjoy the day.
