Live: Hampshire v Yorkshire Men, Rothesay CC, Day One
Yorkshire are back in Rothesay County Championship action for the first time since June. They face Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl. Follow this page for updates throughout day one.
Good morning...
From the Utilita Bowl, Southampton, where it’s a dry and bright morning ahead of day one versus Hampshire.
There’s plenty of cloud around, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see some rain today. As for now, though, we’re all set to go at 11am.
This is the first of six remaining matches in the summer for Yorkshire, who are eighth out of 10 teams in Division One. Hampshire are ninth and in the relegation zone. The gap between the two is 17 points. So that tells you just how important this game is.
A win here, and you’d think Yorkshire would be clear of any relegation danger and can look up at the leading teams in the table with excitement.
This is the first Championship fixture since Yorkshire were beaten inside three days at Leicestershire in June.
We have previewed this fixture with Anthony McGrath, which is linked below.
The stream is embedded at the top of the page.
Enjoy the day.
