More shaky knowledge of Yorkshire boundaries in your otherwise excellent commentary. The traditional boundaries are the real ones! Also, Middlesbrough has been returned to Yorkshire anyway, even in terms of the modern non-counties!

HAPPY YORKSHIRE DAY!

The highest team innings without a century, was Srrey's 671/9 declared, in 2022....probably a bit too far away, but 600 is possible?

(Although Revis is going to get 100, of course!).

Great to see Yorkshire put their foot on the accelerator, now they're over 400. I expect a draw but hope for more.

Hopefully we can get to at least 450-ish, as I feel that Yorkshire need a decent score to at least get a draw out of this game. Losing here would be disastrous for morale in the relegation battle.

You may all think that Ladybirds are a "loveliness", but give a thought to the humble aphid. A beast, 60 times your size, sharp, powerful mandibles to slice you in two, bright red armour, concealing huge wings. The stuff of nightmares.

In stories which are "x person has said y", why can't you just tell us what the person has said (in quotes) so we can make our own mind up?

Encouraging to see George Hill getting a bit of time at the crease, to hopefully get his batting going this season. Solid morning for #Yorkshire, but the new ball looms.....😬😬😬

I was fairly despondent about #Yorkshire's performance yesterday, but looking at the target and time left, there's a big opportunity to turn the season around here!

It looks like @yorkshireccc.bsky.social will more likely be fighting relegation, rather than pushing for the title, but I'm still hopeful they can get out of this with a draw.

Come on, Peanut!!!

The Chelmsford pitch seems difficult to second guess, so
#Yorkshire need to bat sensibly this morning and expand this afternoon, declare about 400 ahead at tea.

Is everyone else having problems with the link? I'm getting nowt at the minute.

PS -well done Yorkshire...the slow progress today suggests that the pitch might be trickier than it appeared yesterday!

@jonathandoidge.bsky.social
If #Yorkshire lose this game, the wayward bowling of Buckingham yesterday could be crucial. It makes me question the wisdom of getting in short-term signings who need time to settle.

A healthy lead building, but it looks like the weather will deprive Yorkshire a win, unless they put their foot down.

For a few years, they played a mixture of 3 and 4 day matches in the league, then went all 4-day a bit later.

@jonathandoidge.bsky.social

I'd have been happier if they'd sent Hill out at 5: Jonny is great, but he can do silly things in situations like this. Should they have saved him until tomorrow?😬

@jonathandoidge.bsky.social

I'm strangely confident that Yorkshire will get out of this with at least a draw, I reckon Lyth will outdo his gutsy performance at Hampshire.

I do hope Durham stay up this year, though!

Please tell Martin that Middlesbrough remains in Yorkshire, both in the modern "North Yorkshire" and in the never-legally abolished "North Riding of Yorkshire". If going on councils, then none of "West Yorks" or "South Yorks" would be in Yorkshire either!

What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military.

Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.
