Good afternoon...
From Durham, where Yorkshire’s men are facing Durham.
That’s where we are basing the blog from this evening.
It’s a lovely late afternoon up in the North East, where it’s a top-of-the-table clash between Yorkshire and Durham, who have both won two from two and lead the way in the North Group.
Yorkshire are aiming to push on from Sunday’s glorious come-from-behind victory over Derbyshire at Headingley, in which seam-bowling duo Hassan Ali and AJ Tye were our heroes with the bat.
Down the A1 at Headingley, our women face Essex Eagles bidding for a first win in four. We have been beaten in the opening three games against The Blaze, Surrey and Somerset, the most recent down at Taunton on Wednesday.
We have previews linked below for both games. The men’s one is with Anthony McGrath talking about Matthew Revis’s development as an all-format all-rounder. He could be joined in Yorkshire’s team tonight, incidentally, by Pakistani all-rounder Faheem Ashraf.
The women’s one is with Lauren Winfield-Hill.
The live streams will be added closer to the start time.
Enjoy the evening.
