Live: Yorkshire v Surrey, Rothesay CC, Day Two

There will be no more play today, unfortunately.

Yorkshire end it on 376-5.

Durham are getting dragged back into the fight at the bottom of the table, beaten inside two days at Somerset.

Unfortunately, the rain has returned to Scarborough. It’s not hard, but it certainly harms our chances of seeing any more play today.

The umpires have been out look, but there’s no signs of the covers being removed, unfortunately.

Chris Woakes, Liam Dawson and Ben Stokes have claimed the wickets, all in the afternoon, at Emirates Old Trafford.

The umpires have called tea.

The rain has stopped, and the ground-staff are mopping up. Fingers crossed, we see some more play shortly.

Or maybe we’re not. Yorkshire 376-5 from 110.1 overs.

The players walk off.

Matthew Revis 34 and Will Sutherland 6.

Yorkshire have taken three batting points to Surrey’s one bowling point.

We’re playing through some rain now.

Jonny Bairstow caught Will Jacks bowled Sai Kishore, 72.

Miscued high to deep mid-on, ending an 88-run partnership with Matthew Revis, who has 29.

Will Sutherland in now.

Jonny Bairstow has 63 and Matthew Revis 27.

Yorkshire have a third batting point in the bag. Can they get a fourth? Bairstow is certainly playing with intent.

Jonny Bairstow has just swept Sai Kishore’s left-arm spin for six and then lap-swept a boundary off him two balls later to reach his fifty and take Yorkshire to 334-4 in the 100th over.

Bairstow gets there off 68 balls, with 9x4s and 1x6s.

Excellent stuff from the skipper.

Jonny Bairstow crashes Dan Worrall through the covers for fours to move to 33.

Yorkshire 301-4 after 91 overs. Matthew Revis has 5.

Jonny Bairstow has 19 and Matthew Revis yet to score.

The latter will face Dan Worrall to get us underway.

Good news. We will have a minimum of 83 overs in the day.

The umpires have called for an early lunch at 12pm and will inspect again 15 minutes later.

In the fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford.

England are 2-1 up in the series.

We will have a delayed start due to a wet outfield.

The umpires will take another look at 11.15am.

The ground staff are currently working on the bowlers’ run-ups at the Trafalgar Square End.

The umpires, Nigel Llong and Russell Warren, have been out in the middle to have a look and will do so again in just under 45 minutes.

The players and coaches from both sides have been out in the middle to check on a few areas which look like they’re problematic. Scarborough’s head groundsman John Dodds is now on his blotter working away. No warm-ups have started yet.

From North Marine Road, where it’s dry and bright ahead of day two against Surrey, which Yorkshire will begin on 282-4.

Fin Bean, Will Luxton and James Wharton all posted fifties yesterday, 57, 71 and 78 respectively, to advance Yorkshire’s cause having won the toss.

Surrey improved as the day went on and kept the run-rate in check even if they didn’t take the weight of wickets they would have wanted.

Yorkshire were helped along by century partnerships for the first and third wickets between Bean and Adam Lyth and then Luxton and Wharton. New-ball seamer Dan Worrall struck three times for a Surrey side who are a point clear at the top of Division One after nine games.

As Will Luxton said: “Against top of the table, you’d take that day any day of the week. Batting first, to be only four down, it’s a good day for us.”
