It’s 58-2 now.

Maddie Ward, on one, in now alongside Georgie Boyce, who has 15.

Lauren Winfield-Hill caught Clare Boycott bowled Flora Bertwistle, 33.

Slog-sweep, top-edged and well caught in the end by Boycott running in from mid-wicket and diving forwards after some hesitation over who should go for the catch. Sterre Kalis in alongside Georgie Boyce now. 105-target.

Lauren Winfield-Hill, pictured here in the field, is on the charge with the bat.

She has hit six fours in 31, including a reverse sweep and a hoisted drive to long-off.

Yorkshire 35-0 after five overs.

Lauren Winfield-Hill has hit three boundaries in 15 out of the 18 runs scored so far. Yorkshire already well on their way to chasing 105.

Yorkshire will require 105 to win their fourth straight match.

Clare Boycott top-scored with 35, and Claudie Cooper, Ria Fackrell and Rachel Slater all claimed two wickets apiece and were miserly.

Phoebe Brett caught Ria Fackrell bowled Claudie Cooper, 1.

Miscued high to cover, and 100 is now in doubt for the Rapids. Two in the over for Cooper’s off-spin.

Poppy Davies caught Jess Woolston bowled Claudie Cooper, 11.

Heaved to mid-wicket. Cooper’s off-spin accounts for another.

Amy Wheeler bowled Ria Fackrell, 1.

Fackrell has her second wicket. She’s been excellent today.

Clare Boycott caught behind Maddie Ward bowled Ria Fackrell, 35.

Tossed up and enticed the drive, feathered behind, and Worcestershire are in real bother now given Boycott has been responsible for five of the six boundaries hit in the innings so far.

Chloe Hill caught Georgie Boyce bowled Rachel Slater, 2.

Looked like a slow ball which held up and Hill spoons a catch high to mid-off.

Two for Slater.

Halfway through the Worcestershire innings, and Yorkshire have the squeeze on with spin. Clare Boycott the lone hand with 30.

Ebony Tweats bowled Jess Woolston, 3.

Bowled pulling one which skidded through.

Bryony Gillgrass bowled Olivia Thomas, 2.

Bowled sweeping at Thomas’s third ball of her second over.

The Rapids have moved to 34-1 in the sixth over. Clare Boycott is on 20.

Gwen Davies caught behind Maddie Ward bowled Rachel Slater, 4.

Breakthrough comes courtesy of the Scotland left-arm quick.

Bryony Gillgrass in now alongside Clare Boycott.

Rachel Slater has the new ball, and Clare Boycott and Gwen Davies opening the batting for Worcestershire. They are 1-0 after one over.

In the North Group, Leicestershire host Northamptonshire at The Uptonsteel County Ground, Grace Road at 5.30pm.

In the South, Glamorgan play Sussex Sharks at Newport and Kent host Gloucestershire at The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence. Both are 2.30pm starts.

Clare Boycott calls correctly at the toss, and Worcestershire will aim to put a score on the board, just as they did in the opening game of the season here when they won that Metro Bank game.

Lauren Winfield-Hill, Georgie Boyce, Sterre Kalis, Maddie Ward c&w, Ami Campbell, Rebecca Duckworth, Olivia Thomas, Ria Fackrell, Rachel Slater, Claudie Cooper, Jess Woolston.

Maddie Ward will captain Yorkshire once again today, and take the gloves, despite Lauren Winfield-Hill’s inclusion in the squad. The toss has just taken place.

From Headingley, where it’s a cloudy afternoon ahead of the start of today’s Blast North Group clash with Worcestershire.

Yorkshire, winners at Derbyshire on Saturday, are bidding for their fourth straight win. This contest marks the halfway point in the campaign, and a victory would leave them with one foot in Finals Day. They have already got a stranglehold on top spot in the group, and the top two qualify alongside two from the South after eight games.

Club captain Lauren Winfield-Hill is back in the squad amidst her loan spell with Tier 1 side Essex.
