George Hill’s increasingly aggressive 62 helped Yorkshire reach 263 against Leicestershire on a rain-shortened second day at Scarborough. The innings gives both sides a possible route to a result, although weather has severely reduced the available playing time and bowlers have found assistance from the conditions.

Yorkshire resumed on 144-5 but lost overnight batter James Wharton for 70 early in the day, before Hill added a 56-run seventh-wicket stand with Dom Bess and later accelerated. Josh Hull took 3-57 for Leicestershire, while Yorkshire’s final total included a rapid 53-run partnership between Hill and Ben Cliff from 29 balls; Leicestershire then reached 12-0 from four overs before rain ended play, with only 24.5 overs bowled.
