Yorkshire can rise above Roses rivals

Lancashire v Yorkshire
Sky Sports 2, 7pm Friday
Yorkshire have had a mixed start to the T20 Blast, battering Nottinghamshire before a shock defeat to Derbyshire and a washout at Northampton.

The Vikings should be fully focused on Friday night's fixture – the Roses clash at Lancashire – and the visitors are worth backing to silence Old Trafford.

Opening batsman Adam Lyth is in fine limited-overs form while Australia’s Shaun Marsh is a classy overseas signing.

And a Yorkshire bowling attack including David Willey, Tim Bresnan and spinners Adil Rashid and Azeem Rafiq could prove too canny for their hosts.

Recommendation
Yorkshire
1pt 4-5 general
