Preview: Yorkshire Men v Durham, MBODC

From Scarborough, where it’s dry but overcast ahead of today’s One-Day Cup clash with Durham.

Yorkshire are bidding for their fifth win in six games today to cement their place at the top of an incredibly competitive Group B table.

It gives you an idea of how jam-packed things are that should Yorkshire be beaten today, and Warwickshire beat Lancashire at Liverpool, there would be five times locked together on 16 points heading into the final two rounds of action on Sunday and Tuesday.

But let’s look at things glass half full. Should Yorkshire win, they would be almost there in terms of a top-three finish for knockout qualification. Their net run-rate is significantly better than any other side in the group, giving them that extra advantage.

The dream scenario would be to finish top and advance directly to the semi-finals. For that, they will need to keep winning. Two wins may seal that, but it could be that three are required against Durham today and then Sussex and Kent away on Sunday and Tuesday.

Let’s try and get the first task sorted and seal qualification.

Durham are in the mix themselves. They have played a game more than Yorkshire. This is their penultimate fixture, and they have won three and lost three so far.

They will head to Scarborough on the back of a win over Lancashire at Liverpool on Wednesday when they chased 321 to win by four wickets. They will likely have Alex Lees and Will Rhodes in their side today, two former White Rose County Championship title winners.

We get going at 11am. Enjoy the day.
