I wrote last night that this fixture would be a better benchmark of our one day abilities and to be fair we got a doing today.
Admittedly the absence of Robin Peterson and Wayne Madsen made a difference, but Yorkshire have been playing very well this season and their score looked a little beyond our compass. Only when Chris Rogers and Garry Park were batting for the second wicket were we in the match, but as soon as the skipper and Greg Smith went in the same over it was an uphill task.
There was enouraging bowling from Jake Needham and Chesney Hughes, but our fifth bowler was a problem, with Mark Footitt again expensive in this format and Chris Rogers having to resort to an over from John Sadler to complete the allocation.
Now there's a trip down the M1 to London and the four day game that starts tomorrow against Middlesex. Hopefully Madsen and Peterson are fit enough to play, as there is no doubt we missed them both today.
