Had a walk down to the ground - wasn't even raining iwhen I set off. Can't see any prospects of play before lunch so have just turned around and heading back.

Once again forecasters get it totally wrong.

Dunno what app you’re using but the Met Office one had rain forecast for this morning when I looked at it yesterday
 
Never tried the website, went directly to the club YouTube channel and the stream has worked fine throughout.

Yorkshire 36-0 (10 overs).

This lad Hill looks a cracking prospect for them. 21 year old homegrown opener. Get him in the England side with Lees :lol:
