From Trent Bridge, where it\u2019s a glorious afternoon ahead of the start of the Blast.<\/p>\n
We couldn\u2019t have asked for much better weather wise.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire\u2019s women kick us off against The Blaze from 2.30pm.<\/p>\n
The White Rose have already beaten them in 50-over cricket this summer. The Blaze were beaten semi-finalists in Tier 1 last year.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s great to see all-rounder Olivia Thomas back in the squad having missed the first six weeks of the season with a shin injury.<\/p>\n
Last summer, she helped Yorkshire reach the Tier 2 Blast final, only to be beaten by Middlesex.<\/p>\n
We have spoken to Rich Pyrah to preview this game, which is linked below.<\/p>\n
The men will likely have two debutants in the team today; Moeen Ali and AJ Tye.<\/p>\n
Neither Yorkshire or Notts made it out of the group stage last year, something they have both made moves to rectify. Notts, for example, have signed experienced T20 all-rounder Benny Howell and Scotland opening batter George Munsey.<\/p>\n
That game gets going at 6.30pm, and Jonny Bairstow has been on preview duty for us.<\/p>\n
The live stream will be embedded at the top of the page shortly before we get going with the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From Trent Bridge, where it\u2019s a glorious afternoon ahead of the start of the Blast.
