Good morning...
From Edgbaston, where it’s a dry and a sunny start to day one.
Warwickshire are the opponents for match number five of the Rothesay County Championship summer.
Both counties have started the summer with the same record; played four, won one, lost one and drawn two. But the fourth-placed Bears (55) are 10 points ahead of Yorkshire (45) in seventh. If Yorkshire can win this one, they will be right in the thick of the conversation at the top end of the table.
There is a definite requirement for one change this weekend, as Harry Brook comes in for the rested Joe Root. Brook will be available for the next two games, with Surrey next up at Headingley in a week’s time. Root will play in that game as well.
Academy fast bowler Bradley Sylvester is in the squad for the first time. Yorkshire have got a bit of a shortage of seamers at present, with Ben Coad injured and the likes of youngsters Jay Singh and Matthew Firbank sidelined.
Sylvester, aged 18, is from Huddersfield and has just spent his winter playing club cricket in Melbourne. He made his second-team debut in 2024 and plays club cricket at Cleckheaton.
Warwickshire are coming into this game on the back of a rest week. They drew a high-scoring game at Nottinghamshire last time out, at the back end of last month.
The familiar name in their squad is, of course, Jordan Thompson.
The preview for this match, with Matthew Revis and James Wharton – the recently capped duo, is linked below.
There is also a bygones piece from 1896, when Yorkshire racked up a county record total which stands firm to this day. We have spoken to historian Jeremy Lonsdale, who has written a host of really good books on the White Rose. Again, that’s linked below.
The live stream will be at the top of the page before we get going.
Enjoy the day.
