From Wantage Road, Northampton, where it’s a lovely sunny morning.
Yorkshire were landslide winners over Warwickshire in Tuesday’s Metro Bank One-Day Cup opener. Ben Cliff starred with five wickets to bowl the Bears out for 137 and Imam-Ul-Haq with 55 in a measured pursuit.
With seven games to go, the White Rose are aiming for a top-three finish in Group B for knockout qualification for the first time since 2021.
If last year is anything to go by, six wins will get you through and five will give you a very, very good chance.
Northamptonshire had their opening game washed out without a ball bowled against Lancashire at Sedbergh on Tuesday. They are captained by Lewis McManus, their wicketkeeper-batter. They have two overseas players at their disposal, the Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and the New Zealand batter Tim Robinson.
Yorkshire’s new-ball seamer Jack White faces the county he left at the end of last season for the first time. White was superb in that Warwickshire win on Tuesday, returning 1-21 from his 10 overs. John Sadler, Yorkshire’s batting coach, is in the same boat.
