Yorkshire are aiming to make it back-to-back wins in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup. After beating Glamorgan on Friday, they face Sussex Sharks at Hove today. Follow this page for live updates throughout the day.
Covers being removed
The ground-staff are removing the covers, with the rain having stopped.
We should be ok for an 11am start.
It’s very muggy here at the County Ground.
Good morning...
From Hove, where it’s a damp start to the day ahead of our clash with Sussex Sharks, starting at 11am.
We’ve been greeted by light rain. It would be a surprise if it caused us too much of an issue, however.
Yorkshire head into this fixture on the back of a defeat and a win, the latter coming against Glamorgan at Neath on Friday. Sussex, meanwhile, have suffered back-to-back defeats. On Friday, they were beaten under lights by Durham up at Chester-le-Street.
A top-three finish at least in Group B is the aim for Anthony McGrath, Dom Bess and co, and a win today would leave them encouragingly placed ahead of back-to-back home games against Worcestershire on Wednesday and Durham on Friday. Both of those games are at York, with the defending champions first up.
We have previewed this game with Fin Bean and Ben Cliff, including their thoughts on how Kuldeep Yadav has settled in. The Indian left-arm wrist spinner debuted at Neath on Friday with two wickets and then 12 late on in the pursuit of 187.
That preview is linked below, while a live stream will be embedded at the top of the page before we get going.
Enjoy the day.
