Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire!

That's the sort of 4th day bowling performance which wins championships but chill A.P. You've won a battle but it's a long war.

That's the sort of 4th day bowling performance which wins championships but chill A.P. You've won a battle but it's a long war.

This is a win to savour Westoelad, especially when Yorkshire were a bowler and a half down and the weather tried it's best to force a draw. Not to mention dismissing Surrey out for 330 in their 1st innings in batsman friendly conditions when they looked like posting beyond 400.

Of course there is a long way to go, but securing a win from a drawing position will do wonders for confidence. The Roses clash on Bank Holiday weekend is one to savour and probably a better contest than England v Sri Lanka.

Excellent unexpected three day win from Yorkshire. A victory was overdue, probably a must win at home to bottom team Surrey. Joe Root getting Sangakkara was key, and Patterson's late spell.

Not one for the faint- hearted that one-nor for a neutral

[captaincolly]

Ansari not in the Surrey XI.

Injured v Durham, I think?

He was but Surrey were hopeful he'd be fit for the Yorkshire game. The injury was diagnosed as bruising rather than anything more serious. Either he's just taking slightly longer to recover or the injury is more serious than first thought.

It's barely five days now since he sustained the bruising so it would be foolish to rush him back. Thankfully it wasn't the opening of the old wound which was my initial concern.

Latest not too helpful diagnosis is that he's out for the "immediate future." So sounds as if they have no idea when he'll be back but are hoping it's soon.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I presume Fisher is out too.

[Durhamfootman]

It'll be interesting to see how the absence of the England flybynights affects team performances

Reckon Wainman will get his chance, seen him play once in a 2nds T20 four years ago in Bingley against England u19s. Got a decent left arm action, not too dis-similar to Stokes.

Fisher's out with a hamstring(?) injury, out for a couple of weeks or so.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Patterson gets Abell in his first over after Plunkett goes for a few.

Jackson Bird pick up an early wicket for Notts v Warks.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Fletcher's back from Derby's and has a wicket for Notts. Woakes is the Warks skipper. He decided to bat...

Wright in for Rankin.

Warwickshire batsmen continuing where they left off from the last game, four down for 18 runs.

Woakes holding the Bears innings together, and Barker helping to keep them in the match.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done to Woakesy on the backs to the wall ton. I forgot he gets a lot of tough runs.
