Sam Cook is into this match having arrived from England’s Test squad. He has replaced Mitchell Killeen.

Essex are now 210-7 after 43 overs.

An unbeaten half-century for this man this morning.

These two have added 54 unbroken for the eighth wicket.

Essex’s women are 166-3 in the 32nd over at Chelmsford. Grace Scrivens has 73.

Dom Bess has reached his fifty off 100 balls, with Yorkshire now 327-7 in the 101st over.

That’s a really impressive knock, a first half-century since April last year albeit a lot of useful contributions in that time.

This has the feeling of more than useful.

Yorkshire are grinding Essex down.

Grace Scrivens has 62 and Ella Claridge 6.

Lucy Randle-Bissell has a second wicket.

Grewcock falls for 37, and that’s a much-needed wicket for Yorkshire to break a 6-run partnership.

George Hill has 40 and Dom Bess 25.

It’s been considered progress so far on day two, which is exactly the way to go.

Grind out the runs and then let the bowlers get to work.

After that early wicket for Lucy Randle-Bissell, it hasn’t been the start Yorkshire would have wanted.

Essex are 56-1 after eight overs, with Grace Scrivens 25 and Jodi Grewcock 24.

Essex captain Grace Scrivens has helped her side recover from the early wicket, hitting five boundaries in 22.

Brilliant news that Lauren Winfield-Hill is back in action.

From Headingley, where the sun is shining ahead of a 10.30am start to day two, which our men will resume on 241-6.

It was an even opening day, with Yorkshire advancing nicely to 121-0 before stumbling to 139-5 and then recovering through to close.

Yorkshire’s women are facing Essex down at Chelmsford today in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup. It’s our penultimate match of the season, and we are bidding for a fourth win in 15 games.

We spoke to Adam Lyth after yesterday’s opening day, one of three fifty-makers, while we have previewed the women’s game with Rich Pyrah talking about Alice Clarke given the likelihood of her keeping wicket today with Lauren Winfield-Hill recovering from that blow to the throat at Hampshire on Sunday.

Both pieces are linked below.

The streams will be available via this page too.

Enjoy the day.
