And now he has Will Fraine caught behind for a duck. He has taken all 3 wickets.

Did you go Capt?

no sign of a scorecard on the club website, unless I'm too dim to find it

Yes, I went after tea. It wasn't the most exciting passage of play but Gibson looked impressive. Might be pushing for selection in the first proper game. I think Yorkshire are doing a live blog during the game. It's streaming but without commentary.

Brighter day by the looks of it so good conditions for batting...both openers gone 12/2! I'll pop down this afternoon.

[captaincolly]

Clark gone again! I wonder if Lees is available for the first game? And will Petersen arrive in time for the last pre-season match.

[captaincolly]

Bedingham, Eckersley and Coughlin all gone cheaply! And yet none of our established bowlers managed a wicket yesterday. Let's see if we can beat Lyth's score of 83.

77/9 and Dickson is back in at number 11. I'm not going to make the joke

Sounds like a shambles

At least the score has gone into 3 figures. Whilst I don't think we can read much into these things, it would be helpful if the bowlers and batters manage to get some confidence before the first proper game.
So far we've had a couple of batting collapses and ordinary bowling. Need Lees back ASAP.

Jones in again at number 12! Presumably we're going to bat until tea regardless. Yorkshire could bat until lunch tomorrow then we'll negotiate the last couple of sessions- unless everyone can only bat once.

[captaincolly]

50 for Dickson. I think this will be our last over. He's had some useful time in the middle.

Concerns me a little bit. Obviously Lees and Petersen will make a difference but the bowling v UCCE 2nd innings and v Yorkshire is a concern.

Yes, I watched the start of Yorkshire's second innings and the opening bowlers again failed to get a wicket.

Match abandoned.

some work to do yet, seemingly
