Essex v Yorkshire Vikings
Metro Bank One Day Cup
The Cloud County Ground, Chelmsford
Sunday 13 August, 11:00am
After Friday’s extraordinary comeback victory over Middlesex, Essex head into a second home game in three days with a spring in their step.
Friday was a story of youth combining with experience after a blistering innings from Charlie Allison wass backed up by an excellent comeback with the ball from the bowlers, Beau Webster and Tom Westley holding their nerve at the death.
Squad:
Jamie Porter has picked up a groin niggle and is left out of an otherwise unchanged squad.

The Opposition:
Yorkshire squad: Shan Masood (c), Finlay Bean, Dom Bess, Ben Coad, Harry Duke, Will Fraine, George Hill, Dom Leech, Will Luxton, Ben Mike, Matthew Revis, Jack Shutt, James Wharton.
Yorkshire are awaiting their first win in this season’s competition, though have been a little unluckier than the rest, even with the recent conditions, with two of their three matches washed out.
Even their sole completed match was rain affected, with the Vikings falling to a narrow two-run defeat to defending champions Kent in Scarborough via the DLS method.
They are also off the pace in the County Championship, with just one win this season in Division Two, and like Middlesex, saw their Vitality Blast campaign end in the group stage.

Key Battle: Charlie Allison v Ben Coad

Last Time We Met:
Appropriately for how their campaign has panned out this season, the last time Yorkshire visited the Cloud County Ground, in last season’s competition, saw rain interrupt play.
That did not, however, prevent Essex securing an 88-run win via the DLS method, as the Eagles’ total of 240, underpinned by 90 from Grant Roelofsen and Tom Westley’s 52, turned out to be more than enough.
The weather Yorkshire’s innings after only 19 overs, but Shane Snater’s 3/29 already had the White Rose reeling on 76-6, far short of the DLS par score they would have needed and thus handing Essex victory.
