@YorkshireCCC That wasn't out and Lyth's dismissal was even worse, caught off his back thigh. It's also open to debate whether Bean hit his or not.

@surreycricket It's still not as bad as Yorkshire's defeat

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

How on Earth have Yorkshire managed to lose that 🤦‍♂️

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@YorkshireCCC Even if we beat Notts, by my reckoning we would only get a home tie if Surrey, Hampshire & Gloucestershire all lose in their respective groups.

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@YorkshireCCC We'd have to have a complete disaster with the bat not to qualify if you compare our current run rate with Lancashire's, but if we do get beat by Notts then our quarter-final will be away as the second placed teams in the other two groups will have more points than us.

@bbctms I can't get my head around this run chase. What was the rationale behind the changes in the order because I can't think of one good reason #bbccricket

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@YorkshireCCC Unless he was injured I can't believe George Hill didn't bat.

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@bbctms I've nothing against him personally, but Bashir is not an international cricketer. Ahmed surely has to be given a run in the side and why was Robinson not selected after his display in the 1st test. P.S. Foakes should be keeper #bbccricket

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@bbctms James Rew's wicket-keeping got slated last test, but his drops weren't half as bad as that one of Smith's, but will he get the same bad press, I'll wager he doesn't #bbccricket

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@YorkshireCCC No Wharton in the squad is a surprise and does anybody know what's happened to Van Beek as he seems to have disappeared completely, he's not even playing for the 2nds.

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@bbctms Has Robinson been a naughty boy as well I wonder? 🤔

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@YorkshireCCC I still can't understand the rationale behind winning the toss and batting first on that wicket, as looking at that green strip nobody could possibly know how it was going to play. A poor decision and it's going to cost us the game.

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@YorkshireCCC When you're chasing a lowish total you don't have to tee off. One of the top three just needed to bat properly and finish say 60 not out and the game would have been won.

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@ClassicCrickMP4 Kuldeep Yadav bowls left-arm wrist spin so that was his stock delivery. His googly would turn from leg to off.

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@YorkshireCCC Who's going to make way for Root & Whiteman (if he's fit) on Friday I wonder, and Luxton deserves a game given the runs he's scored in the 2nds. On current form none of the top order could complain if they're left out, Captain included.

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@YorkshireCCC A great win after making only 162 in the 1st innings. Some interesting selection problems coming up though. We know Brook will replace Root on Friday, but if Whiteman's available who'll make way for him, then when Root returns against Surrey somebody else has to be left out 🤔

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@YorkshireCCC That's a shame we could have done with it pouring down ☔️ as barring a miracle we'll be bottom of the table this evening.

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@ParkFishburn Thanks to @KaderMens for tidying their changing room up before leaving, saved me a job 👍

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@bbctms What an effort from young Bethell but our luck was going to run out sometime. Don't blame Brook, he didn't drop it on purpose. He, Bethell & Jacks have all scored more than Salt & Buttler combined so that's been the problem for me.

[Duncan Russell @RegRussell36]

@_zabiiii It depends on how you interpret the word still. The answer could be 52 as the 30 killed are still in the room with the 22 alive or the answer could be 30 as those dead are still in the room, as in not moving.
