Durham put Yorkshire in on a green top but didn't really use the conditions to the best of their advantage and Yorkshire enjoyed a trouble-free first hour.

But then came a wicket out of nowhere as Adam Lyth clipped a simple chance to Graham Clark on 28. He was fielding at square leg and couldn't believe his luck.

Lyth couldn't believe he played that shot but moments later his fellow opener Finlay Bean also fell to the bowling of Brendan Doggett, as he took 2-1 in the space of four deliveries.

Yorkshire, having looked comfortable on 43-0, were suddenly 44-2.

Durham have lost the services of batsman David Bedingham and bowler Daniel Hogg.

Bedingham, who was the leading run-scorer in division one last season, broke a toe in the last game against Warwickshire. Hogg suffered an ankle issue in the same match. So Graham Clark returns to the batting ranks and Paul Coughlin is back to beef up the bowling.

Durham have lost two out of two so far. Back in 2019 they lost their first four, so let's hope thay can avoid that this season.

Yorkshire give a debut to New Zealand fast bowler Ben Sears. He recently played in a one day series against Pakistan. He hasn't played in England before. Matthew Revis also returns from a stress fracture.

It's a mild morning in the north east and the wind has dropped too. Durham have won the toss and will bowl.
