Yorkshire could possibly retain the British Inter-Counties Championship Premier Division title this weekend.
The defending champions head into this weekend’s final home fixture of the season against Cambridgeshire with a 30-point lead over nearest challengers Lancashire.
With a possible 78 points left to play for in the final two games of the campaign, Yorkshire can wrap up the title if they win and better Lancashire’s points haul this weekend by ten or more points.
The two title rivals face off on the final weekend of the season in three weeks’ time, and Lancashire will be hoping they can keep their title hopes alive when they travel to Nottinghamshire tomorrow.
Elsewhere this weekend, Devon host Glamorgan in a pivotal clash at the bottom end of the Premier Division table.
Second from bottom Glamorgan gave their survival hopes a major boost when they beat Warwickshire last month, but they are still three points adrift of their hosts Devon heading into this weekend’s meeting.
In the other two Premier Division fixtures this weekend, bottom side Essex entertain fifth place Warwickshire and fourth place Cheshire host seventh place Lincolnshire.
