The pitch for this weekend’s game.

Good morning...

From the Uptonsteel County Ground, Grace Road, where it’s a glorious morning ahead of our latest Championship match.

This comes against the Division One’s bottom side, Leicestershire, who have yet to record a victory in their seven games. They have lost five and drawn two. They were beaten by Essex at home last weekend.

Yorkshire have arrived in the East Midlands on the back of a draw against Warwickshire at Scarborough. In old league cricket parlance, it was a winning draw. They played much the better cricket, only to be denied on the final day by some stiff Bears’ resistance with the bat.

Our preview for this match is with Dom Bess, the link for which is below.

There will be a live stream embedded at the top of the page just before we get going at 11am.

Enjoy the day.
