Fresh pitch
Did wonder whether this game might be played on the same pitch as the Derbyshire men v Lancashire Championship match over the weekend, but that’s not the case.
This is a fresh pitch, and it’s pretty green too.
Good morning....
From Queen’s Park, Chesterfield, where it’s a stunner of a morning weather wise.
Yorkshire are facing home side The Blaze in their 10th One-Day Cup match of 16 this summer, hoping for a fourth win and back-to-back wins as well.
Last time out, last Wednesday up at the Riverside, they beat Durham in such impressive fashion.
Today, they are facing the league leaders, a Blaze side who have won eight of their 10 matches to date,
Their only two defeats so far came against Yorkshire at Headingley in April and against Lancashire at Blackpool last Wednesday.
We’re all set for a 10.30am start.
You can read our match preview, with head coach Rich Pyrah. That’s linked below.
The stream will be embedded at the top of the page shortly before we get going.
Enjoy the day.
