Live: Yorkshire Men v Gloucestershire, Vitality Blast
Yorkshire are facing Gloucestershire for the first time in Vitality Blast history, and they are searching for win number four of 2026. Achieve it and they will take a significant step towards the quarter-finals. Follow this page for live updates throughout the afternoon.
Good afternoon...
From Headingley, where it’s not quite the blazing sunshine of this time last week when we beat Derbyshire here in that thriller.
This time – for a 2.30pm start – Gloucestershire are the visitors for the first ever Blast clash between the two counties.
They will be without Dawid Malan because of a calf injury. The former Yorkshire captain has yet to debut for his new county having picked up the injury in a warm-up game.
While Yorkshire have started well with three wins from three, they have started brightly too with two wins from three in the Central/West Group. They were beaten at Northamptonshire on Friday night.
If Yorkshire can win this cross-group clash – one of two each county will play in the new format – then they would really strengthen their position in terms of quarter-final qualification.
Our preview for this match is attached below, with James Wharton, who has scored two fifties in three outings so far this season. He scored an excellent 64 off 41 balls in that low-scoring win over Durham at the Riverside on Friday.
The stream will be embedded at the top of the page.
Enjoy the day.
