It's a day for bowling with breaks allowing the seamers to refresh and disturbances meaning batsmen have to get back in again.

We need a Brooks purple patch with Coad in early season form and Fisher repeating first innings at one end and then Patto metronomic at the other.

Agree today's the day that will decide our season. I don't want to chase over 150 but fear we will be

BBC weather forecast indicating just a drop of rain about mid-day.

I have a feeling we'll get another three wickets before the scores are level..

Three for Coad.

Poor light at the moment in North Leeds, rain due about start time according to the rain radar.

While a win will probably earn us a place in the CCD1 next year a draw would not be the end but, and not even the worse doomsayers here are saying it, a loss to Warwickshire would mean relegation and we may be glad of a bit of rain

No pressure on them, loads of pressure on the White Rose

Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire...

(Dear Boss, could find it difficult to get my work done today)

I'm at home, listening to Cally (for my sins). Play has started and we've opened with Coad and Fisher - glory be! I wonder if we've got a third man.

Commentators think light 'marginal'.

20 minutes gone and no wicket yet, except at Lord's, where Livingstone is out.

Lancs doing their best to send us down. Come on Surrey!

I'm at home listening to sports extra where they're broadcasting Middlesex v Lancashire. Pitch has gone. Pundits giving Lancashire no chance.

Don't like the look of things at Leeds. Wouldn't want to chase more than 170 tomorrow against Patel.

Sports Extra about to interview John Stephenson about next year's County Championship game which will be in Barbados. Those were the days.
