Whilst the follow on is avoided, Yorkshire still need to get as close to Lancashire's total as possible. Even a 100 run lead, Lancashire can add a quick 175 to make Yorkshire chase 275 on a bunsen burner.

Lancs don't score quick runs and there's no evidence of a Bunsen as yet but Lancs are playing 2 spinners.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Lancs not taking any chances with that declaration. I suppose a win isn't that much use to them, but hopefully Yorks will bat out the day and forget about the win.

Lancs have just scored 200+ at 5 an over and have set Yorks 360 at the same rate.

Surrey strolling to victory at Edgbaston against A Warwickshire team bereft of ideas and batting talent. This is the surrey that has shown of late it has a team to respect. The return from irnjury of Meaker has sparked this resurgence.
Warwickshire are an ageing team with an indeterminate future.

I thought Warwickshire had a great chance of winning it this year. That probably jinxed them.

Terrific win for Hants over Notts a burst of wickets saw them home.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yorks squad for the visit of Notts to Scarborough tomorrow.

Ballance, Bresnan, Brooks, Coad, Gale ©, Hodd (w), Leaning, Lees, Lehmann, Lyth, Patterson, Rafiq, Sidebottom.

Forecast is reasonable.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Gale is out. Ballance is captain. Coad also misses out. Notts elected to bowl.

Out injured?

[Arthur Crabtree]

I presumed dropped, seeing as he's in the squad. But the website says a back injury.

Twenty year old, former England U19 Tom Moores, son of Peter, makes his Notts debut. Already been at Lancs and Leics.

Horrific start by Yorkshire, 6 down for 64 and not even at lunch.

Though 12 months Yorkshire were 54/5 against Durham, registered 160ish and still managed to win so there is hope.

Much the same all round the country; Durham 81 for 4, Hampshire 121 for 4, Lancs 105 for 5, Glamorgan 127 for 6, Gloucs 92 for 4 and Northants 127 for 4. The only side to have made a decent start is the Tigers at a 100 odd for 2!

Great fightback from the Yorkshire tail. Shame it's so frequently necessary. This time, Azeem and Hodd's first fifties of the season save the day. Brooks not far off his first fifty too.
