As part of the loan agreement between The Blaze and Yorkshire, Georgie Boyce will not play today against her parent county.

From Headingley, where it’s a cloudy but dry start to the day ahead of our third Metro Bank One-Day Cup fixture of the season, this one against The Blaze.

There has been some overnight rain, but that has passed through, and we’re all set for a 10.30am start.

Yorkshire have played two, lost two. In both games, against Somerset and Surrey on the road, the story could have been different. The White Rose had their chances to win. Alas, no.

Today, they come up against a Blaze side who have played one, won one. They beat champions Lancashire in a rain-affected game at Trent Bridge on Wednesday.

The Nottingham-based side reached all three semi-finals last year and were beaten in each, twice by the Red Rose county.

England opener Tammy Beaumont has been included in The Blaze’s squad for today’s game.
