There is something rather unusual about this Scarborough pitch.

Ian Holland, from the Trafalgar Road End, is huffing and puffing a tad. Sam Whiteman able to leave on length quite comfortable outside off stump.

I am reliably told you need to bowl a few feet fuller from that side of the ground, or it will be hard work.

At the other end, the Peasholm Park End, however, Josh Davey can do no wrong. The former Somerset man, brought in to the team on a seamer-friendly pitch, has got the ball to zip all over the place and looks threatening with every ball.

It's as if there are two different pitches here - anything Davey seems to bowl looks like magic.

He's dismissed Adam Lyth and Will Luxton cheaply, with The Foxes cockahoop. Yorkshire need a rebuild.

James Wharton turns Ian Holland through square leg and it races away to the rope for his first boundary.

The right-hander is up on his toes and pushes into the onside for a single to move into double figures.

You suspect there is going to be a bit of on and off about this game at Sophia Gardens as it does not look noticeably brighter now.

Mir Hamza is on and raps Ali Orr on the pad and appeals but it is not given. Perhaps saved by impact marginally outside off stump

Hey, and if they were with England they'd be sat in the dressing room looking at a soggy outfield right about now...

Sam Whiteman gets forward to Ian Holland and the ball squirts off the inside edge into the legside.

The Yorkshire batter gets off the mark with a slightly streaky two.

Holland then gets a full ball to jag back sharply off the seam which flies just over the stumps as a relieved Whiteman leaves.

It's the caterers I feel sorry for, Jack. Imagine the panic.

It’s been okay for Somerset since that early loss of Tom Lammonby.

Archie Vaughan given a hint of room outside off stump by Sean Hung leans into a smart drive through cover point for four.

And then Josh Thomas is really attractively up on his toes to ease Jaydev Unadkat backward of point for his second boundary.

Unadkat then whipped out of the attack after just three overs that have gone for 12.

James Wharton gets off the mark with a couple, but survives a scare as Josh Davey continues to threaten.

Tidy stuff at the other end from Ian Holland as Sam Whiteman, still waiting for his first run after 10 balls, plays out a maiden.

The rain means we will not see any cricket on the opening morning at Chelmsford.

Fingers crossed for better luck this afternoon.

Well that was short and sweet. They are off for bad light at Sophia Gardens.

Two balls after Timm van Der Gugten removes Nick Gubbins umpires decide conditions have worsened.

Gubbins will almost certainly be the most cheesed off person in the ground right now.

The best laid plans, Giles... always good to know where in the world you're joining us from, by the way, do please let us know your set-up.

The nasty weather has cleared away from Hove to start on time.

Sussex, as you’d guess in the overcast and muggy conditions, have chosen to field.

Could be a tricky morning for the visitors.
