Good morning...
From Lord’s, where it’s a glorious day.
Yorkshire are playing match number six of eight in the group stages of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup, and it’s against a Middlesex team who are also going well in Group B.
They have won three and lost one of four games and are second.
Yorkshire are top on 16 points with four wins from five and would all but seal a knockout berth with victory today.
We are aiming to make it five successive victories after an opening day defeat to Hampshire.
Wins at York on Wednesday and Friday came against Worcestershire and Durham, the other two teams in the chasing pack on 12 points alongside Middlesex.
Incidentally, Middlesex were beaten at Worcestershire on Friday.
Our preview for this game, which is Kuldeep Yadav’s last in this competition before returning to India international duty, is with head coach Anthony McGrath. You can read it below.
The live stream is embedded at the top of the page.
Kuldeep, meanwhile, returns to Yorkshire to play three Championship matches towards the end of the season.
Enjoy the day.
