From Scarborough, where it’s a dry and bright morning ahead of day one between Yorkshire and Warwickshire.

A month on from our innings victory against Surrey at Headingley, we’re back in four-day action after the first half of the Vitality Blast has been played.

This match marks the halfway point in the Division One season, and we are aiming for win number three. Warwickshire likewise. They are third in the table, Yorkshire eighth, the difference being only 15 points.

The pitch certainly has a green tinge to it.

Both sides will have overseas debutants this weekend; Yorkshire Hassan Ali and Warwickshire Manav Suthar.
