Good afternoon...
From a gloriously sunny Emirates Old Trafford.
Who says it always rains in Manchester, hey?!
We have a bumper day of action for you today, and one which has been highlighted on the calendar since the fixtures came out in late November.
Yorkshire’s women tackle Thunder from 3pm before our men take on the Lightning from 7pm.
Bragging rights are at stake, and that’s pretty much all there is on offer in the women’s game due to both sides being unable to qualify for Finals Day next week. With the men’s clash, though, prizes are very much up for grabs.
Even a tie, and we’ve had one of those before here, would secure Yorkshire’s passage through to the quarter-finals on Wednesday. Joe Root is available as the White Rose bid to complete the Blast double over Lancashire.
Our previews for this fixture are linked below; one with Lauren Winfield-Hill and Rich Pyrah and the other with Anthony McGrath and Adam Lyth.
There will be no stream available today due to these games being live on Sky Sports.
Enjoy the day.
