Good morning...

From Canterbury, where it’s a warm day with hazy sunshine ahead of our final round Group B clash with Kent Spitfires, starting at 11am.

Yorkshire are aiming for win number seven out of eight games in the group and are pretty much assured of finishing top whatever happens here and elsewhere.

We can start planning for a home semi-final at Scarborough on Sunday, which would start at 12pm.

Yorkshire are ending a four-day road trip today which included a victory over Sussex Sharks at Hove on Sunday, successfully chasing 285.

Kent-bound Matt Milnes took 7-38 including in a hat-trick on Sunday before another Imam-Ul-Haq century – 106 – led the chase.

Kent are out of knockout contention having only won two of their seven games to date.
