I was discussing the noise Yorkshire's Matthew Waite makes at the moment of delivery earlier on. The effort put in by Jade Dernbach results on occasions in a sound akin to a hungry seal at feeding time.

After five dot balls from the Surrey paceman, Adam Lyth launches one over the cover field to open Yorkshire's account with a boundary.

The Yorkshire openers are walking out to the middle and it looks like Jade Dernbach has the ball in his hand. Let battle commence.

He's not playing for Yorkshire today because of England commitments - but if you haven't seen it yet, take a look at Liam Plunkett's catch against Pakistan. Simply brilliant.

I reckon we could have a very interesting contest coming up. 

Yorkshire have got a very strong top four in Lyth, Lees, Ballance and Bairstow - but Meaker, Dernbach, the Curran brothers and Batty is no mean bowling attack either.

There are those who think Gareth Batty should tour the sub-continent with England this winter 11 years after the last of his seven Test appearances and he could have a crucial role at Headingley.

Surrey will certainly be hoping for a couple of early wickets to put a bit of doubt in Yorkshire minds, and there isn't long to wait now until the Yorkshire innings begins.  

So there we are, Yorkshire will need to score 256 to reach the One-Day Cup final at Lord's and prevent 2015 runners-up Surrey from paying a return visit to the home of cricket.

Surrey fans - have your team got enough runs on the board? Yorkshire supporters - how confident are you of victory in this game?

Share your opinions while I take the opportunity to eat some sandwiches (cheese and beetroot, for those who want all the details).

Steven Patterson has the ball for the final over. Tom Curran takes one to long-off before Ollie Pope skies into the leg-side, where the ball falls just short of the fielders, and takes two.

Pattrerson switches line and length to restrict Surrey to two more singles, but then gifts an extra run with a wide before Pope is run out for 20 off the final ball of the innings as Jonny Bairstow throws to the bowler.   

Ollie Pope fails to make contact with a ramp shot before hammering the next ball down the ground for one. Steven Patterson, though, is offering nothing to hit and only five singles come from the over.

Surrey 240-5 (47 overs) v Yorkshire

Tim Bresnan tries a slower ball and Ollie Pope smears it through the covers for four. The next one is shorter and the youngster top edges it down to deep backward square for a single.

Ben Foakes is back on strike and he deposits the ball over deep mid-wicket for six as 14 come from the over.

Ben Foakes takes a blow on the knee from Steven Patterson but even more painful for Surrey is the fact that only three runs came from that over.

Matthew Waite finishes his 10-over allocation with 3-48 - and of course, it could have been a five-for if he hadn't put two chances down off his own bowling. Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie will be happy with the 20-year-old's effort, though - only five singles from that final over.

One 18-year-old is replaced by another as debutant Ollie Pope comes out to play his first innings for Surrey. He gets off the mark by pulling the ball down to mid-wicket for a single. Ben Foakes takes two from the final delivery, but Surrey have lost a bit of momentum here.

Sam Curran brings up Surrey's 200 by walloping Jack Brooks over cover for four. Ben Foakes clips a single from the final delivery as Brooks ends his 10 overs stint with figures of 1-42.

The start of the final 10 overs and it's time for the third powerplay. After failing to score from the first two balls, Sam Curran belts the third through mid-wicket for four. Curran - one of two 18-year-old's in the Surrey XI - adds a single to end the over but Ben Foakes didn't see any of the strike in that one, which is good news for Yorkshire.

Tremendous stuff by paceman Jack Brooks who keeps Sam Curran scoreless before yielding a single from the final ball of the over.
