From North Marine Road, Scarborough, where it’s dry and overcast at present ahead of an 11am start against Leicestershire.

You will probably be aware that the forecast for this fixture isn’t amazing, so we shall see what happens. We are expecting to get a start this morning, though, for match number 10 of the season.

Yorkshire are aiming for back-to-back wins after beating Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl last weekend. They are 17 points above Leicestershire, who are second from bottom and also won last weekend, beating Glamorgan.

The White Rose are also 27 points behind leaders Nottinghamshire, who are our final-round opponents at Trent Bridge next month.

We have previewed this fixture with Anthony McGrath and Dom Bess, which is linked below.

Enjoy the day.
