Warks have lost 3 players, Bell, Trott and Woakes to injury. What a surprise for another pace bowler to get injured whilst in the care of coach Saker, wonder what his total record is in this regard.

[westoelad]

Yes that's a considerably weakened side but remember Worcs will be without Ajmal and Ali which will considerably weaken them. Still a more than decent attack as would the batting if it contained Gale. Can Yorkshire not make use of the loan market or borrow a decent overseas batsman from the local leagues?

Lyth has removed any shadow of a doubt on who opens in the Windies

First FC ton of the season.

good to see Rhodes score a few runs!!

good to see Rhodes score a few runs!!

Maybe worrth a call up for the Caribbean.

[andy]

not yet bit early...but i think he will have a fantastic season for Yorkshire, and maybe a winter call up

[Arthur Crabtree]

Just winding up Al!

Cook fails again.

Cook fails again.

Paul Downton will deny it.

[Alviro Patterson]

5 off 30 balls is appalling, even with a few of those dot balls were to see out the close of yesterdays play.

Meanwhile Nick Compton (who was supposedly dropped from the England team for scoring too slowly), is currently on a steady 57 off 103 balls.

[Arthur Crabtree]

At least a little irony on show with Compton, dropped by England for strokelessness, leaning on his bat watching Steely dismissed for 5 off 30 balls.

[Alviro Patterson]

I reckon Steely was trying to his best impression of Joe Sayers

[andy]

Hildreth has once again shown he can make runs though...one of the most unluckiest batsman in county cricket..racked up runs for years and never got a go

[Making_Splinters]

Easy win for Yorkshire in the end, great game for Lyth not so much for Cook.
