Johnny Tattersall added to the 14 man squad, in place of Chohan. Perhaps he will come in to replace Revis, whose going through a bad patch.
The plan could be to relieve Ferreira of the gloves, he looked a bit scratchy on Friday in terms of being able to get down and gather the ball.
All will be revealed but it does nothing to help the bowlers, perhaps it's time to give Leech a chance.

Yorkshire have lost the toss (again) and will bat first on what might turn out (again) to be a rain affected match. always seems to be that way for this game.

I didn't watch the game . Everyone deserves a second chance including Amir but I don't have to watch and prefer not to . Cheating is not always a victimless crime and I'm not trying to persuade anyone else
That apart, I've read more than one report and seen the scorecard. I think some people need to look carefully in the mirror and ask themselves, "Did I give my best today?"

Like you I have not seen the game, but that resonates - specifically the captain. I'm not sure the thought process that says "hmmm, we have three international batsmen and two have been dismissed in this over. I'm going down the pitch to my first ball"...

Oh dear, oh dear. 13 runs from the top 5 batters..at least Ferreira, Revis and Thompson gave us some respectability. It’s a shame Jaffer C is injured. especially when Revis gets clobbered again. So we will need to win all our matches and hope. Same as many seasons then.

The annual T20 fiasco at Chesterfield has left us with a lot to do in order to qualify.
Putting my optimistic hat on we do have 4 winnable games coming up. Notts and Worcestershire are the only two teams below us in the table and Durham at home shouldn't be beyond us.
Elephant in the room is the Roses game at Old Trafford next Friday, we won't be favourites but in a Roses game I think we always have a chance.
Three wins should get us through. Big weekend coming up with Durham at home on Thursday, Old Trafford Friday and New Road on Sunday.
In the whole scheme of things, with our upturn in fortunes in the CC, this competition isn't going to make or break our season, but it does bring in much needed funds and a run to finals day is always a bit of fun.

A rare Wednesday night T20 blast game today as Sussex take on Hampshire in the South Group. The weather looks good and even though they are up against England in the Euro's semi-final they should do alright for a crowd I would imagine.
5 games on Thursday, 8 on Friday, 1 on Saturday and 7 on Sunday.
The T20 competition isn't over yet but looking back on what has happened so far I think they have got the scheduling badly wrong this year. The competition seems to have been going on for ever due to the fixation with Counties wanting to play when they think they can get a crowd in. My observations is that interest is down and that the crowds are down also.
Playing the 2 County games in the middle of the competition was fine with me, but did nothing to maintain interest in the blast I don't think.
Star player availability is a big issue, two big teams, Surrey and Notts can't even keep hold of their own star players, Roy and Hales, to play in it and the returning England World Cup squad seem in no rush to get involved, YJB and Adil Rashid for example.
Alex Hales is playing in the Sri Lanka T20, along with a number of overseas, Shadab Khan, Glen Phillips, Andre Fletcher etc who once used to star in the T20 blast.
Of course the really big names have joined Jason Roy in the IPL backed MLC in America, Rashid Khan, David Miller, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Tim David to name just a few. These teams are allowed to gobble up an unlimited number of overseas players and are doing so.
Much has been made of an MLC overlap keeping some playing away from the start of the hundred, with the T20 blast it's much worse than that.
I think the ECB and the Counties will have to do a lot of soul searching before coming up with a schedule for next season.

Yorkshire back in action tonight at Headingley against Durham. Must win game, followed by 3 more must win games including the Roses fixture tomorrow.
No Connor McKerr in the 14 man squad for tonight, has he gone back to Surrey I wonder!
Jafar Chohan is back in the squad, so they may well go with 12 overs of spin and get the other 8 overs from Thommo/Hill and Revis.
Likely XI: Lyth, Malan, Wharton, Masood, Ferreira, Hill, Revis, Thompson, Bess, Moriarty, Chohan.
Leech, Tattersall and Cliff are the alternative picks.

Durham won the toss and are batting. Looks very depressing weather wise and the crowd doesn't look great.
Revis has been left out and they have chosen to go with Ben Cliff.

Quite a few latecomers so perhaps 4 to 5,000. There was an end of season feel 20 mins before the start but it’s perked up considerably. Who cares about the dark clouds after that!!! Our Middlesex leggie was terrific. Cliff also bowled very well. Reasons to be cheerful. Now let’s please finish the job. Can’t tell from here if the pitch has demons. There are currently about 200 of our young cricketers on the outfield, boys and girls on the Pathway system.

Excellent performance from all our bowlers . Outstanding return of a 'five-for' from the ever improving and hardworking Jafer Chohan. 👏

Attendance was 6000 and a few according to the PA announcer, just in case you couldn't hear it in the NE Upper. Difficult pitch and we had the bowlers to exploit it. A good night for Chohan but well bowled by Ben Cliff and the other two spinners to keep a lid on it early doors.
I think we had a stroke of luck by losing the toss, we might have batted first and found out the hard way how difficult a pitch it turned out to be.
Still in with a shout, bottom club Worcestershire did us a favour by beating Leicestershire and it was a washout in Derby for their game against Lancashire.
Should be a lively do tomorrow at Old Trafford and a win would of course be very welcome.
