Yorkshire finish with nine points and remain in mid-table.
Leicestershire claimed 11.
The outliers
On day one, there was a stage where this was the only game in play. Today, we’re the only game off.
It is dry but overcast still here at Scarborough as we await news from the umpires.
No play before lunch
Lunch will be taken early at 12.30pm.
The rain looks to have stopped now
We await news from the umpires re a start time.
Rain in the air
The covers are on the cut strip and the bowlers’ run-ups at present, and there are no warm-ups taking place.
The umpires are just coming out to have a look.
Good morning....
From a dryish but overcast North Marine Road, where hopefully we can get away on time at 11am on day four. There is a very light kind of sea fret in the air at present.
If and when we do resume, Leicestershire will be 84-0 in their first-innings reply to 263.
Surely there’s not enough time for a team to force a result here following all the time taken out of the game with rain and a wet outfield. If so, it would be quite a remarkable day of cricket!
In the thirty-something overs we had yesterday, Leicestershire openers Rishi Patel and Sheridon Gumbs played nicely to blunt the new ball from 12-0 overnight.
Yorkshire’s first port of call today is nine wickets for three bonus points. That would give them a respectable 12-point haul from this fixture. Then they can prepare to attack Surrey at The Kia Oval from Wednesday in game number 11.
We had a brief chat with John Sadler last night to review play and check on the knee injury George Hill suffered whilst bowling yesterday. In short, they’re confident he’s ok.
We added the quotes to the bottom of the match report last night, which is linked below.
The stream will be embedded at the top of the page before we get going.
Enjoy the day.
