Good morning from the Banks Homes Riverside
It’s another overcast morning in the North East, and chilly once again too.
We will start on time at 11am, though you suspect it will be another day of bad light issues later on.
We have already lost 48 overs across the first two days, though we will try and regain eight of them later today. It might be wishful thinking, but 104 overs will be scheduled.
Yorkshire are in desperate need of early wickets, with Durham 264-1 in reply to our first-innings 307.
Alex Lees and Emilio Gay will resume on 148 and 105 aiming to get into the lead and build quickly. With the light issues we’ve had – and there’s been talk of some rain tomorrow – they certainly can’t afford to hang around this morning.
That may well play into Yorkshire’s hands.
The new ball is just under 17 overs away.
Yorkshire’s players are just about to start their morning warm-ups.
