65-3, Rashid picks up Mal Loye.

I hope no-one easily offended is sitting within earshot of GT.

Mind, it's a Championship game - he's probably got a whole stand to himself!

Decent crowd on actually! Looks like Yorkshire have done some sort of offer for members, bring a friend or something similar.

And I'm sat in the pavilion seating and behaving myself, I'll have you know.

Just need an improvement on the batting front. Unfortunately the wicket looks quite lively, Rashid's having a field day at the moment.

5 down now for Yorks

152-5 at tea, importantly both Laxman and Du Plessis back in the hutch.

Two wickets for Rashid, one for Wainwright.

If it's turning on the first day, I don't reckon much to Yorkshire's chances playing Keedy on it batting last.

How Luke Sutton is still getting picked for Lancs is a mystery.

And to make things worse, he is captain.

It'll be all the people who bought day 5 ashes tickets.

183/6

Does anyone know if the ashes tickets can be used in Scarbourgh?

Ashes tickets weren't valid for this fixture, so it wasn't that.

Bloody dreadful day. Some terrible shots from our batsmen.

Thinking of going again on Friday, can see all but the last half an hour and still make it back to see Salford. Just hope we're still in the game...

Pfft, beautiful day topping up my tan in the sun - with two of your lot for company too! At 2-2 I thought it might be even better than it ended up being! The 5(?) drops by various slip fielders were the only real downers.

Not sure how good our bowling was, but the run rate was painful, if the forecast is right there's little chance of a result I'd have thought.

Very good turnout too, no offers on as far as I know.

Just seemed to be a large queue at the ticket office with people flashing membership cards.

And I counted six drops, could've been embarrassing if they'd been held! With the weather as it is today, I'd say a draw's a very likely outcome.

Saw a Bradford Northern top knocking around as well, don't see many of them!

Bloody Lankies, bringing their Manchester weather with them...
