This is one of three matches to have reached day four in the top flight of the Rothesay County Championship.

Division One 

Surrey 279 and 38-0 v Essex 217 and 479, Kia Oval

Worcestershire 181 and 59-2 v Warwickshire 277 and 280, Visit Worcestershire New Road

Wins yesterday for Somerset at Durham and Sussex at Hampshire.

Division Two 

Derbyshire 587-5 dec v Kent 326 and 157-4, The County Ground

Northamptonshire 469 and 168-4 v Gloucestershire 379-8 dec, Wantage Road

Wins yesterday for Glamorgan at home to Middlesex and Leicestershire at home to Lancashire.

George Hill has just seen off the unfinished 57th over from last night, bowled by Dillon Pennington.

Yorkshire are 176-5, with Matthew Revis 11 and Hill yet to get off the mark.

The White Rose are chasing 463, and need 287 more to win.

It’s looking very likely that we will start on time at 11am.

The sun’s out, the pitch is uncovered and the players’ warm-ups are in full swing.

The rain has passed through, and the covers are being removed.

Preparations are also being made for the players to start their warm-ups.

Rain is sweeping across the ground at Headingley at present.

Good morning from Headingley, where the sun’s out. But there has also been some rain about on the drive in.

There is some more of that forecast as well throughout the day. So, if Yorkshire are to get away with a draw in this Rothesay County Championship match, it may well be that they don’t have to bat the full day out to achieve it.

They will start the day on 176-5, needing 287 more to win. That task looks highly unlikely. Survival is surely the order of the day.

Yorkshire will have to take inspiration from Essex’s final day performance against them at Chelmsford a couple of weeks ago when they batted out the final day when starting it with six wickets remaining.

Matthew Revis will resume this morning unbeaten on 11 and will be joined at the crease by either George Hill or Dom Bess following the late loss of Harry Duke last night, who was caught behind off a snorter of a delivery from Dillon Pennington which reared up at him and followed him. He could do little with it.

This would be the perfect time for Bess to produce a captain’s innings, for sure.
