Royal London Cup Discussion Thread 2016

[Arthur Crabtree]

283 looks plenty, but at least the last few overs showed you can score quickly on this pitch.

Warwickshire failed to defend 293 the other day and with only 5 bowlers it could be the same story. Maybe they Jonathan Trott as their 6th bowler. If they lose today they will be out of both white ball competitions, coming in Ian Bell's first year as captain that would be a bad start.

Yorkshire's top scorer in the competition goes. Bad start.

Laurie Evans best knock of the year keeps the Bears in the hunt.

Looking at the BBC radar this play could be purely academic. If it starts or more likely, when it starts, to rain it wont stop. How many overs constitute a game?

Yorkshire's top scorer in the competition goes. Bad start.

And there next highest scorer isn't playing.

[Arthur Crabtree]

There's a game already. Might be close at the moment. I expect Warks slightly ahead with that run out.

Yorkshire accelerating past the D/L required rate, wickets needed.

10 overs so result already guaranteed in yorkshire game. BBC radar indicated there wouldn't be any rain in Manchester this afternoon.

Is it the picture on my computer or is Bell overweight? He looks rather tubby to me.

[ianp1970]

Ateeq with what could be a crucial wicket in between rain breaks...

[hopeforthebest]

They are coming back out so they get another shot at going ahead on D/L. Keep taking wickets lads even with a wet ball.

It should be remembered on this day that it was the Power and money of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick with the Bear and ragged staff as his emblem who put the Yorkists on the throne.

Very good!

Javid's third wicket might just do it...
