LORD’S may be known as the home of cricket but it is no home from home for Yorkshire CCC.
Only once on their last 11 County Championship visits have Yorkshire won there, beating Middlesex by 10 wickets in 2013. On their subsequent four trips Yorkshire have lost - most famously in 2016, when a hat-trick from Toby Roland-Jones led the hosts to the title at Yorkshire’s expense. For Yorkshire’s previous Championship win at Lord’s prior to 2013 you have to go all the way back to 1987, when Phil Carrick’s men eked out a two-wicket triumph.
Thompson and Edwards came in for Matt Milnes and Matty Fisher, with Matthew Revis once more overlooked despite a strong and encouraging end to last season. Adam Lyth set about his business looking every inch like a man who had scored hundreds in both of Yorkshire’s first two games, twice off-driving stylish boundaries off Ethan Bamber, the 25-year-old seamer.
