The pitch is deteriorating, and Yorkshire will be looking to add more runs during the first half of the day and then get bowling. The weather seems ok for the next couple of days. Maybe a bit of rain tomorrow, but nothing drastic. So there should be plenty of time to complete win number one of 2024.
Yesterday was a pretty good day in Yorkshire Cricket circles, with the Diamonds also winning a thriller at Edgbaston against the Sparks. You can recap everything – from both venues – via the links below.
