Yorkshire 2nd's have been struggling a bit this season in the 2nd XI competition but they managed a very good win against Surrey 2nds at York in the 4 day game completed today.
Surrey made 196 in their first innings and 503/7 second time around.
Yorkshire took a lead with 296 first time round and were left to chase 407 for the win. 124 not out by Harry Duke and 106 by Will Dennison did the heavy lifting after a good start including 74 from Noah Kelly and 58 from Yash Vagadia.
6 wickets for Matt Fisher in the match and he bowled 31 overs.

Nice to hear Duke on the comms from Headingley yesterday. He spoke well about the 2nds, the academy players who (like him) are in and around the first team ... they are young ... they hold the future.
He seems settled - perhaps he knows what next seasons line up will be behind the sticks? I didn't get any feeling of resentment about being sort of number 2 and a half in that queue.
Much better than the usual sort of rubbish that shares the air waves ... and more interesting than the cricket.
I see Bess has a fifer and full marks to Moriarty (I have become converted) there were numberous passages of the bat and edges low down or on the ground and wide and down leg side for him.

I saw my grandson play for Warwickshire against Yorkshire at Harborne last week. It is in the emerging players programme, ages from 14 to 17. Warwickshire won by 5 runs over 2 days. Yorkshire has a good opening bat, George Breheney, who may be one to watch in future. I also went to Colwyn Bay last week to see my son in law play for England over 40s against Wales. He got 100 but England somehow lost after scoring 308 in 45 overs. What a good set up at Colwyn Bay. Good playing area, nice clubhouse, with snooker room, and a bowling green behind. 10 minute walk to the beach. I local chap told me Yorkshire played Glamorgan there a few years ago. Worth a visit if that ever happens again.

Academy U18's in action today playing Middlesex in the U-18's 50 over final at Kibworth. They got off to a poor start losing Fraine, Bennison and Kelly early.
Currently rebuilding, as you have time to do in 50 over cricket, 85/4 after 21 overs. Good luck to them.

Worth a visit if that ever happens again. We used to play Glamorgan at Colwyn Bay quite frequently, I think, when we were in the same division, which has not been all that often. Lancashire, too, and I have watched both there. Very much a favourite ground of mine, and I'm disappointed they have dragged us all the way to Cardiff this year. I would have travelled to N Wales, but I have no intention of going to Cardiff at this time of year, so it remains the only County HQ I have never visited. Photo from 2003, taken from the grassy bank, which is a nice feature. Very small playing area, but that's fine. And the ground is in Rhos on Sea, which is also fine. www.flickr.com/photos/forwarddefensive/51789949366/in/album-72177720295447818

I think I heard on Commentary some time ago that Glamorgan would not be returning to play at Colwyn Bay. Plans to return to the ground in 2023 were shelved due to 'financial and operational difficulties'.
I think the bottom line was they couldn't prize enough of a subsidy from the local council to cover the costs.
Neath looks to be their only out ground now and that's further than Cardiff.

Middlesex making a game of it at 200/8 but only 6 overs to get 248, DLS puts them well behind.

Well done the Academy U-18's and their coach Tom Craddock on becoming 50 over champions.
There are some names there, Kelly, Akhtar, Fraine, Bennison, Hen-Boison, Redshaw who seem to be stepping up. They won't all make it of course but I'm hopeful for a few.

Amid the gloom of the day here I forgot to remember that the 2nds were playing Durham 2nd's in a 3 day game here by the seaside. I shall remember to remember tomorrow and get a few hours in.
Yorks 2nds were all out for 204 and Durham are replying with 32/1 in 10 overs.
It has been gloomy but dry here today and they lost some time due to a couple of breaks for bad light.
3 day game and it Looks brighter tomorrow and Wednesday.

A very gloomy morning has gradually blossomed into a beautiful late afternoon and early evening over here. Spent a very pleasant couple of hours at NMR watching the Yorkshire batting blossom in a similar way.
It does look easier to bat in the sunshine and at 150/3 with Kelly and Bennison tucking into the bowling Yorkshire are looking well set. 25 overs left in the day and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get them all in.
170 lead at the moment, they will need to double that I should think before having a go at Durham in the final two sessions tomorrow.
