Live: Hampshire v Yorkshire Men, Rothesay CC, Day Three

Yorkshire head into day three against Hampshire with a lead of 111 and five second-innings wickets in hand. Can they make their move towards a victory today? Follow this page for updates.

Good morning...

From the Utilita Bowl, where the sun’s shining ahead of day three, which gets underway at 11am.

Yorkshire will begin it with a lead of 111 at 135-5 in their second innings.

This low-scoring, bowler-friendly game has swung this way and that over the first two days, with neither side taking hold.

Today, you’d think someone will. It could even be the last day of the fixture, in theory.

With Yorkshire holding a 17-point advantage over second-bottom Hampshire at the start of the week, you’d think a win would see the White Rose safe. If they lose, they’re right in the thick of a relegation battle.

George Hill and Adam Lyth have been Yorkshire’s standout players so far. Lyth has made the only half-century of the match, yesterday’s second-innings 51.

We caught up with George after day two to get his thoughts on proceedings, and they’re linked below.

The stream will be embedded at the top of the page before we get going.

Enjoy the day.

George Hill looks back on day two at the Utilita Bowl

The final question for George Hill tonight was, ‘What do you think a defendable lead would be?’ “I haven’t actually thought about that,” said the talismanic all-rounder. “But I feel like if we got on a roll with the bowlers we've got, I think sort of within reason, we're pretty confident to go out and defend anything.
