Northants v Yorkshire (1100 start).
Day One
Weather forecast is not great - showers likely, so play may get disrupted.
Yorkshire won the toss and will bat first. Yorks debut for Sam Northeast today. Link to live stream via White Rose Cricket Forum.
Update 1 - Not a good start for Yorkshire. 36-2 with Lyth out for a duck, and Northeast for 3.
Update 2 - Yorks 38-2 . Rain stopped play. Weather forecast was correct!
Update 3 - Play has resumed. 40-2 now, with Hill and Ballance batting.
Update 4 - Tea : Yorks struggling on 132-6. Good, watchful (and much needed) innings from young opener George Hill (71 n.o.). Thompson on 5 n.o. Pitch and conditions look fairly bowler friendly at the moment.
Update 5 - Yorks 158 all out (Hill 71) and we should have been capable of better than that. Although the pitch looked rather helpful to the bowlers, it wasn't THAT helpful! The experienced players failed to deliver much to help out the youngsters today. Not good enough. Zero batting bonus points again.
Update 6 - Northants 40-0 . Rain stopped play
Update 7 - Close of play : Northants 61-2
