310 all out for Warwickshire and Yorkshire bowled 90 overs. Some players batted twice and and a lot of bowlers got a run out. 4 for 40 off 9 overs for Jordan Thompson and 3 for 27 for Matthew Fisher from 11 overs. And I read it is being played on grass

Yes, I think there are two grass ovals, each with good grass pitches, and a sandy one, with a matting pitch, which you wouldn't want to be playing on, at this level. Or any level, to be honest. Why go to UAE when you could be in the Caribbean? There are at least two club grounds - that I know of - on Barbados, where our team could play and practise to their heart's content, with locals willing to join in, though not f-c ones, because the Windies f-c competition is currently on.
Perhaps they're trying to keep the lads off the booze. Misery-gut, sand-in-your-orifices place.

Yorkshire 109-2 at lunch in Abu Dhabi. It must be hot, Only 28 overs bowled, then again that's about the going rate these days in any conditions.
225-5 at Tea.

Yorkshire made 330-9 in their day of batting against Warwickshire. 81 for George Hill, runs also for Tatts, Harry Duke, Thommo and Matt Milnes.
According to an eye witness they knuckled down and made the most of the opportunity.
Flying back tonight it seems.
Time for things to change of course, but the current weather forecast for the encounter with Leeds/Bradford UCCE next week is far from ideal.
