Campbell 41*) beat Derbyshire 83 (Couser 35 Yorkshire eased into the second round of the inaugural Vitality T20 County Cup competition with a resounding 122-run win over Derbyshire in Harrogate this afternoon Lauren Winfield-Hill made a brilliant 88 and Ami Campbell added a quickfire unbeaten 41 as Yorkshire Seamer Grace Hall and offspinner Claudie Cooper claimed three wickets apiece as Yorkshire tore through Derbyshire's batting line-up for the second time in three days to dismiss the visitors for 83 inside 16 overs. Victory for Yorkshire booked a second-round clash with Staffordshire at Weetwood on Saturday. Two days ago, the White Rose had bowled the Falcons out for 66 in a 315-run 50-over victory. After a tidy start from Derbyshire's bowlers at St George's Road, Yorkshire began to step up the pace as Erin Thomas blasted four fours in 18 off Sophia McCollum in the fifth over. Yorkshire had reached 55 for 0 after the powerplay, with Winfield-Hill going nicely on 28. But Thomas' promising innings was cut short in the seventh over as she chipped legspinner Gemma Rose's full toss to Ella Porter and departed for 22. Winfield-Hill was not hindered by the loss of her opening partner and began to pepper the boundary. The opener took nine off Rose's next over before blasting 15 from the 10th as she reached her half-century from just 35 balls. Rebecca Duckworth got in on the act with a six and a four off Rose as Yorkshire raced to 109 for 1 after 11 overs. Winfield-Hill's boundary count was racing along as she eyed a century but she fell short as Harriett Parkin claimed the key scalp, the right-hander departing for 88 from 52 balls having smashed 19 fours. Duckworth fell in the next over as Derbyshire checked Yorkshire's momentum at 142 for 3 but Campbell, fresh from hitting 165 not out against the same opposition on Saturday, ensured the innings ended with a flourish. The left-hander was dropped on 3 and made Derbyshire pay with her blistering 41 from just 18 balls, including a couple of towering sixes. Sterre Kalis added 22 in a quick-fire stand of 63 to lift Yorkshire above 200. In defence, Yorkshire picked up three wickets inside the powerplay. Cooper struck with her first ball to trap McCollum lbw for a duck, Hall had Tash Allen brilliantly caught by Beth Langston before Cooper returned to trap Annie Williams lbw and leave Derbyshire 36 for 3. Jess Couser played a lone hand for the visitors with a stylish 35 but she was one of two wickets for Hall in the ninth over as Adriana Darlow also departed for a duck to the right-arm seamer. Ria Fackrell struck with her first ball in the next over, bowling Ella Porter for 2 to leave Derbyshire on 62 for 6. Legspinner Olivia Thomas joined the fray with two wickets, first yorking Parkin for three before completing a smart caught and bowled to dismiss Millie Gray for 7. Fackrell bowled Pagan Hardwick before Cooper removed Caitlin McDonald caught at cover by Fackrell for 10 to complete a dominant home win.

I think we were in the game all the way through. But, at key moments, we just couldn’t wrestle the initiative really and push on. “We were nearly there on occasions, but a little bit soft with both bat and ball. We’ve shown signs of that through the season, and we’ve got to stamp that out, particularly in Division One, because against teams that are used to that, you’ve just got to sustain periods of pressure for longer. “I think 250 was probably par in that first innings, and then I think anywhere near 250 (target) that last innings, we would have been able to defend that. “With 180, we still thought we had a chance. But we were a little bit short, and that was a culmination of how we batted and how we bowled. “(Over-rate, point deduction) There’s no excuse. Every point counts whether you’re at the top or the bottom, so it’s something we need to manage better. “It’s not an excuse that we didn’t bowl an over of spin. Warwickshire didn’t bowl spin either, so it’s frustrating. Hopefully we can pick that up going forwards. “(Joe Root, first-innings 90) He played really well. “It’s difficult for them both (Root and Harry Brook). We know they’re world-class players, but you can practice as much as you want - it does take a bit of time to get your rhythm in the middle.

He always gets runs at important times. “He’s one of those streaky players who’s going to have low scores here and there but he always seems to chip in with a hundred when we need it most. “There’s still some really good balls in there and on this particular pitch you want to put them out of sight really – it could get flat or it could just deteriorate, in which case we’re in a really strong position. If it deteriorates, then 200 could be a really hard chase.” “I’ve felt in decent touch all year, to be honest but just haven’t been able to get that (big) score yet. I got another decent ball, but I was pleased with how I played today so I’ll just try and take confidence from that and build on it. “Every time you get picked for England is a massive honour, so that was fantastic news for me and I’m looking forward to that game against Zimbabwe. Hopefully I can build on the confidence I’ve got over the last couple of games. “Every time I walk on the field I try and give my all – in training, for Kent and for England – and if I’ve done that I can go to bed and sleep well, that’s why I don’t get too down on myself.” 2d ago14.52 CESTDelicious stroganoff.

They date back to the first century, around the time of the Roman conquest of Britain under Emperor Claudius, and are almost certainly associated with a tribe called the Brigantes who controlled most of northern England The objects include parts from wagons and/or chariots including 28 iron tyres elaborate harnesses for at least 14 horses ceremonial spears and two beautifully ornate cauldrons one of which was probably used as a wine mixing bowl say the objects may lead to a reassessment of how we understand subjects such as wealth trade and travel among Britain’s iron age tribes The hoard was discovered and reported just before Christmas 2021 by a metal detectorist dug a hole and realised he needed expert help Close-up of one of two mask-like human faces decorating the shoulder of a lidded vessel or cauldron. Photograph: Durham University/PAHe contacted Prof Tom Moore, the head of archaeology at Durham University who had been conducting research in the area Moore saw right away the potential significance of what had been uncovered but had no idea it would be of such a jaw-dropping scale “Finding a hoard or collection of 10 objects is unusual but finding something of this scale is just unprecedented,” he said “We were not expecting it … I think for everybody on the team After securing £120,000 funding from Historic England including the removal of one large block of tangled metal objects that may have been in a bag together Moore said the horse harnesses pulling the wagons or chariots were beautifully decorated with coral and coloured glass and “They would have looked incredible,” he said “It just emphasises that these people had real status and real wealth “Some people have regarded the north as being impoverished compared to the iron age of the south of Britain This shows that individuals there had the same quality of materials and wealth and status and networks as people in the south “They challenge our way of thinking and show the north is definitely not a backwater in the iron age powerful and wealthy as iron age communities in the south.” Bent iron tyres and a cauldron at the excavation site Photograph: Durham University/PAKeith Emerick an inspector of ancient monuments at Historic England said the decision to provide funding was agreed the same day Moore contacted him “The scale of the find and the material in it is completely unparalleled in this country,” he said “To have something like this from the north of England is really exceptional.” He recalled seeing the objects laid out at Durham just to see how rich and splendid and mind-bogglingly beautiful some of it is It has been a once-in-a-lifetime find for everyone involved.” Moore said the working assumption was that the high-status objects belonged to someone who was “probably part of a network of elites across Britain suggesting it may have been part of a funerary pyre for an elite person before being thrown in a ditch Dr Emily Williams and Prof Tom Moore of Durham University examine a block of tangled artefacts that have corroded together Photograph: Durham University/PAMoore said one of the most exciting parts of the discovery was the first evidence of four-wheeled wagons used by iron age tribes in Britain possibly imitating vehicles seen in continental Europe He said: “We’re going to have spend years thinking what did these vehicles look like The Melsonby hoard has been valued at £254,000 and a fundraising campaign to secure it for the nation will be launched by the Yorkshire Museum in York Its discovery was announced jointly by Historic England said the hoard was an extraordinary find “which will help us to better understand the fabric of our nation’s history” Emerick said the find posed lots of interesting questions Julius Caesar led the first Roman expeditions to Britain a century before Claudius’s invasion and the Brigantes would have known about them “You kind of look at this material and ask is this people thinking about the end of something or are they thinking about the beginning of something?” Appeal court finds in favour of anglers who said plans to clean up river were so vague ​a​s to be totally ineffectual A group of anglers trying to restore the ecosystem of a river have seen off a challenge by the environment secretary, Steve Reed who claimed that cleaning up the waterway was administratively unworkable Reed pursued an appeal against a group of anglers from North Yorkshire who had won a legal case arguing that the government and the Environment Agency’s plans to clean up the Upper Costa Beck a former trout stream devastated by sewage pollution and runoff which had begun under the previous Conservative government the appeal court found in favour of the anglers The judges dismissed Reed’s argument that it was administratively unworkable to develop specific measures to clean up individual rivers lakes and streams as is required by law under the water framework directive – legislation that aims to improve the quality of rivers Reed is being urged to show renewed commitment to restoring rivers and lakes Photograph: Anadolu/Getty ImagesAndrew Kelton said: “This case goes to the heart of why the government has failed to make progress towards improving the health of rivers and lakes in England “Only 16% of waterbodies – 14% of rivers – are currently achieving ‘good ecological status’, with no improvement for at least a decade, which comes as no surprise to us having seen how the Environment Agency at first proposed but then for some reason failed to follow through with the tough action needed against polluters in this case.” He said the Upper Costa Beck was just one of 4,929 waterbodies but was a case study in regulatory inaction in the face of evidence of declining river health The Costa Beck has failed to achieve good ecological status under the water framework directive regulations partly because of sewage pollution and runoff from farms who have spent more than 10 years trying to get the authorities to clean up the river took the government and the EA to court in an attempt to force action They successfully argued that the plan by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the EA to improve the stream lacked the legally required measures necessary to restore it – for example it did not include the tightening of discharge permits for sewage treatment works The judge in the high court found that the government had unlawfully failed to assess and identify specific measures to achieve the legally mandatory targets for the waterbody That ruling was on Wednesday upheld by the appeal court said Reed could show a real commitment to restoring rivers and lakes “What we need is meaningful action to clean up rivers,” she said “Anything short of that will be a tacit admission that the government has abandoned its environmental ambitions for water.” Yates 41) beat Yorkshire 205 (Bamber 5-47) and 232 (Root 90 Warwickshire completed a level-headed chase of 185 on day three to beat Yorkshire by five wickets at Headingley securing their second Rothesay County Championship victory of the season The Bears started the day on 15 without loss, and openers Rob Yates and Alex Davies contributed 41 and 31 respectively they reached lunch with a 20-point haul by no means secure at 109 for four But they were able to move into the top three places in the Division One table midway through the afternoon tea thanks to first-class debutant Zen Malik, who finished 49 not out off 73 balls, including a pulled six off George Hill to win it. While Warwickshire won their second game in four at the start of this season, Yorkshire have now lost two from four and are in the top flight's bottom three. The hosts will be mightily frustrated at the fact they were unable to capitalise on the one-game availability of England batting duo Harry Brook and Joe Root. The latter's second-innings 90 was their best score in four innings. However, consistently, they just didn't bowl well enough on a grassy pitch offering significant assistance for the bowlers. Overseas Australian debutant Jordan Buckingham, for example, went at more than seven runs an over across the two innings on his debut, striking only twice. And the Bears were deserved winners, backing up last month's one-wicket success at Durham. While they didn't dominate this fixture, they were on top for much of it and were able to capitalise on winning an important toss and bowling Yorkshire out for 205 on day one. Their new-ball seamer Ethan Bamber excelled with match figures of nine for 107. Australian Test all-rounder Beau Webster should also be credited for an excellent 85 in the first innings, which secured what proved to be a decisive 48-run lead for the visitors. Captain Davies started positively this morning. Of the seven boundaries he hit in his 31, three of them came off one Hill over. Two were clipped through the leg-side and the other handsomely driven through the covers. However, he was bowled through the gate by a beauty of an in-swinger from Ben Coad, losing his off and middle stumps in the process as the score fell to 45 for one in the 13th over - the day's 10th. Buckingham then had Hamza Shaikh caught behind at 60 for two, immediately before a 10-minute rain delay, and Yates and Dan Mousley fell to New Zealand quick Ben Sears and Jordan Thompson respectively to boost Yorkshire before lunch. Left-handed Yates had been more reserved than his opening partner Davies, though by no means becalmed. He pulled Buckingham for four through midwicket and clipped Thompson through the same region for a couple of boundaries in as many overs as the score reached 85 for two, 100 more needed for the visitors. There would have been some nerves in the away dressing room when Yates was undone by extra bounce from Sears and edged a looping catch to Root at first slip before, at the start of the morning's final over, Thompson uprooted Mousley's off-stump - 109 for four in the 30th over. Though, those nerves wouldn't have been around for long given how settled 27-year-old Malik looked in a fifth-wicket partnership of 59 with Ed Barnard. Right-hander Malik was strong on both sides of the wicket, and when he beautifully drove Thompson for four straight of mid-on to move into the thirties, Warwickshire were 136 for four needing 49 more. All-rounder Barnard, meanwhile, had an excellent game with three wickets in each innings, 41 with the bat first time around and then 37 to help get them over the line. With the Bears closing in, he even nonchalantly ramped Sears for six over third but edged the same bowler behind with 17 needed. It was a purely consolatory strike.

Caitlin McDonald caught Ria Fackrell bowled Claudie Cooper, 10. McDonald drives Cooper to cover, and that’s it. Yorkshire by 122 runs and set up a Round Two clash with Staffordshire at Weetwood on Saturday. Cooper finishes with three wickets, as does Grace Hall. Ria Fackrell and Olivia Thomas claimed two wickets apiece. Millie Gray caught and bowled Olivia Thomas, 7. Two for Thomas, and Yorkshire are on the verge of victory here. Parkin shimmies down the pitch trying to attack against Yorkshire’s leg-spinner and seems to york herself. Yorkshire are on their way into round two. Another wicket for off-spin, with Fackrell backing up their earlier success of Claudie Cooper. Derbyshire’s captain falls for a two-ball duck, and Hall has her third wicket. Jessica Couser caught Olivia Thomas bowled Grace Hall, 35. Caught in the mid-wicket region trying to go over the top. Derbyshire opener Jessica Couser is playing nicely. She has 30 out of 53-3 in the eighth over, including a six over mid-wicket off the leg-spin of Olivia Thomas. Williams is trapped lbw playing back and around one which scoots through. Natasha Allen caught Beth Langston bowled Grace Hall, 5. Allen drills an out-swinger from Hall to mid-off. Derbyshire are 29-1 after four overs chasing 206. After that early wicket, they have steadied the ship through opener Jessica Couser and Natasha Allen. Though they are going to have to do more to win this one. Ami Campbell hoists one of her two sixes this afternoon. Yorkshire strengthen their grip on this contest. Cooper’s off-spin strikes immediately at the start of the second over. Her impressive start to Yorkshire life continues. Ami Campbell and Sterre Kalis finished with 41 and 22 not out respectively. Lauren Winfield-Hill top-scored with an excellent 88. After Yorkshire posted 381-6 against Derbyshire in Saturday’s 50-over game at the County Ground, there’s no let up for the Falcons’ bowlers. Picture by John Clifton/SWPix. Lauren Winfield-Hill celebrates her fifty. We’re into the closing stages of the innings, and Ami Campbell has moved to 23 off 12 balls with a six and two fours. Yorkshire are 169-3 with 14 balls remaining in the innings. Rebecca Duckworth caught Jessica Couser bowled Gemma Rose, 27. Duckworth clubs a full toss out to deep mid-wicket. Ami Campbell and Sterre Kalis together heading into the final five overs. Lauren Winfield-Hill caught Gemma Rose bowled Harriett Parkin, 88. Oh no. Winfield-Hill has sliced a short ball from the off-spin of Parkin to short third. Sterre Kalis is in now alongside Rebecca Duckworth, who has 18. Lauren Winfield-Hill is 88 not out off 50 balls. She has hit 18 fours in her knock, which has put Yorkshire in an excellent position at 132-1 in the 14th over. She has shared 72 with Rebecca Duckworth, who has 18. Rebecca Duckworth has clubbed a full toss from leg-spinner Gemma Rose for six over mid-wicket to bring up our 100. We’ve since moved to 109-1 after 11 overs. She has 17 and Winfield-Hill 66. When she gets it right, Rose is a real danger. Unfortunately for Derbyshire, she has just bowled too many full tosses even though she got a wicket with one. Lauren Winfield-Hill reaches her fifty off 35 balls with 10x4s. Yorkshire are 90-1 after 10 overs and going very nicely indeed. Erin Thomas caught Ella Porter bowled Gemma Rose, 22. Thomas has clubbed a full toss from the looping leg-spin of Gemma Rose down to wide long-on. Rebecca Duckworth is in to join her captain Lauren Winfield-Hill, who has 34. Rose claimed four wickets at Derby on Saturday. After Erin Thomas took four fours off Sophia McCollum in the last over, Lauren Winfield-Hill has just taken three in the over off Caitlin McDonald. Erin Thomas has just hit the seam of Sophia McCollum for three boundaries in a row in the fifth over, moving to 18 and taking the score to 37-0. It hasn’t been the easiest of starts to the summer for the England Under 19s opener, so a score today would do just nicely. Yorkshire are 22-0 midway through the fourth over. Lauren Winfield-Hill has 16, including three boundaries. It doesn’t look like run-scoring will be straightforwards on this page. We’ve already seen one shoot through low against Lauren Winfield-Hill from the new-ball seam of Pagan Hardwick. Having said that, Winfield-Hill has just scored her first boundary. Staffordshire await the winners of this tie having beaten Cumbria by seven wickets at Stafford. Lauren Winfield-Hill has elected to bat first this afternoon. Yorkshire: Lauren Winfield-Hill c&w, Erin Thomas, Rebecca Duckworth, Sterre Kalis, Ami Campbell, Maddie Ward, Olivia Thomas, Beth Langston, Ria Fackrell, Claudie Cooper, Grace Hall. The winners of this tie will face either Staffordshire or Cumbria in round two on Saturday. Staffordshire are chasing 109 to win and are 75-2 in the 11th over. There’s been a bit of rain around, but we’re all good now at St George’s Road. Yorkshire may well have won very comfortably on Saturday, but Derbyshire are expected to be better for that run today. They won the national T20 title in the old county structure last year, under the leadership of their current captain Adrianna Darlow and coach Jon Dyson. Saturday’s centurion Ami Campbell said after that game: “We have to enjoy these days when they come, but also let’s get back on it on Monday. We’ll keep going at them and keep backing ourselves. It’s was my day today, and it’ll be someone else’s day on Monday I’m sure.” This new knockout tournament has been billed as the FA Cup of county cricket. It pits all three tiers in the new county structure together, with the professional Tier 1 counties entering the fray in round 3 on May 17. Yorkshire have to win six matches to lift the trophy between now and May 26. There is a Finals Day at Taunton, including semi-finals. The draw has already been decided, and should Yorkshire win through the first two rounds they will face Essex Eagles at home on May 17. Picture by Allan McKenzie/SWPix: Opening batter Erin Thomas will be desperate to get Yorkshire off to a flyer today. There are a host of Round One fixtures today. Some are underway already.

It was a fabulous start to the Bank Holiday weekend on Saturday when the White Rose beat Derbyshire at the County Ground in Derby by a mammoth 315-run margin in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup. Yorkshire racked up 381-6 thanks mainly to Ami Campbell’s stunning career best 165 not out before bowling the Falcons out for 66.

Head coach Richard Pyrah hailed a "professional performance" from Yorkshire as they booked their place in the second round of the Vitality T20 County Cup. Yorkshire eased into the second round of the inaugural Vitality County T20 Cup competition with a resounding 122-run win over Derbyshire in Harrogate this afternoon. Anthony McGrath says Yorkshire need to extend their good periods in matches if they are going to enjoy success in this season’s Division One of the Rothesay County Championship.  WATCH: Martin Daubney and Nusrit Mehtab clash over West Yorkshire police's 'anti-white' DEI incentive An ethnic minority candidate who failed her interview was given a job following an intervention by senior officers in West Yorkshire Police The female officer was rejected at first but was later offered a position after her case was taken up by the force's chief officer team which includes Chief Constable John Robins West Yorkshire Police then scrapped interviews for officers transferring to the force One email reveals the candidate was allowed to join before pre-employment checks were completed on orders from the chief officer team The interview notes show the female candidate scored one E four Ds and one C on her answers to the six set questions Sources inside the force said officers generally needed As and Bs to secure a job An E indicates "no answer given or answer irrelevant" whilst a D represents "some good points but below an acceptable level" The interviewer wrote that the candidate "seemed to have prepared answers which they ultimately attempted to force into the interview questions." the interviewer did praise her "manner" West Yorkshire Police rewrote its policy to eliminate interviews for transferees The force decided to no longer ask questions about "competency" – known as the CVF Chief Inspector Jonathan Aldred from the HR department wrote: "Basically we are removing the CVF measure from the application and as such all who apply will be onboarded and there is no interview."

He fell lbw for 20, playing around a full ball from seamer Michael Booth shortly before tea, where the hosts reached at 152 for 4 with a lead of 104. Jonny Bairstow top-edged a pull at Bamber behind on six, with wicketkeeper Kai Smith taking a smart running catch, before George Hill edged Barnard to second slip. And when Jordan Thompson miscued to cover as Barnard struck for a third time, Yorkshire were 190 for 7 in the 60th over, leading by 142. All the while, Root looked commanding at the crease in his 100th first-class innings for the county, hitting 13 fours in 131 balls. He reached his fifty off 64 balls, and one driven boundary straight of mid-off against Webster was particularly memorable. However, he missed out on a century when he top-edged a pull to backward point off Bamber to make it 219 for 8. Dan Mousley was the catcher, and the same combination did for Sears soon after before Ben Coad was bowled by Booth for 28, giving Warwickshire a short period of batting to navigate before close. With the bat in the first innings, Webster was excellent before lunch in getting the Bears up to and just beyond 250. A tall and imposing figure at the crease, he mixed power with invention in moving from 32 overnight to reach his fifty off 54 balls and give his new county a decent lead and a batting bonus point. He scooped Coad for six and muscled expensive compatriot seamer Jordan Buckingham, also on debut for Yorkshire, through the off-side for a trio of boundaries to help the Bears into the lead. He dominated a 74-run partnership for the eighth wicket with keeper Smith before pulling Sears to midwicket to end the innings. Smith contributed 19. Sears and Hill claimed two wickets apiece, three of them caught behind by Bairstow.

According to TripAdvisor, that is Seaview chippy in Saltburn. there were only a few people in front of me but it grew within minutes curving all the way to the nearest car park Everything was going well as I had just placed my order for sausage and chips - when I asked for batter I should have known better as the server was confused about whether I wanted a non-battered sausage or something else when I explained I wanted pieces of batter on the side do you want scraps?’ I could not bring myself to change what I have always called batter I have never felt more like a tourist in the North East than I did at that moment the card machine was placed in front of me and I paid £9.40 – which included two ketchup sauces and a can of Pepsi It was probably the cheapest price for sausage and chips at the beach Now, the next thing to do was finding a place to eat it. Thankfully, there were a lot of benches looking out over the pier on the promenade. Spotting an empty spot straight ahead, I sat down and kept a watchful eye for any seagulls nearby after visiting Whitby last week Amazingly there was not one bird of any type It was peaceful and quiet – which again made such a nice change being on a North Yorkshire beach Pleased that I was not rushed into eating my food by screaming seagulls and the steam continued to rise from it even with a five-minute walk from the takeout window For only opening minutes after I queued up the fryers must have been pre-heated beforehand to handle the demand as the sausage was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious especially with its crunchy and salty batter around it were golden and again piping hot and fluffy inside The only thing that did taste off was the odd chip tasting slightly uncooked Overall the portion was just enough for me and was delicious It really is one of the best places to have lunch or dinner at the beach so you do not have to wait long to eat your meal Get all the

boxer Luke Campbell has won the contest to become Hull and East Yorkshire mayor in the second mayoral victory for Nigel Farage's party Reform won a clear victory with 35 per cent of the vote followed by the Lib Dem candidate with 27 per cent Former Conservative MP Andrea Jenkyns was also elected as Greater Lincolnshire's first regional mayor, meaning Reform now has two metro mayors in the Humberside area Reform has so far succeeded in winning hundreds of council seats from the Conservatives, particularly across the Midlands and parts of the north of England. Reform candidate Sarah Pochin also won the Runcorn and Helsby by-election by just six votes. The closely-fought race to become the first-ever mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire was seen as tough to call – but PoliticsHome reported that it was clear that Reform UK is being treated as the common enemy by all the other parties. During the campaign, Campbell repeatedly said he saw politics as "getting in the way" and the other candidates in the contest criticised him for failing to turning up to pre-arranged hustings in the region Conservative candidate Anne Handley told PoliticsHome she felt Campbell was “ill-prepared” for the huge responsibility of being mayor and admitted she would be "less concerned" if her Lib Dem or Labour rivals won instead of him Labour have managed to hold on to three mayoralties in North Tyneside Doncaster and the West of England – but Reform candidates came second in all three In a small window of good news for the Conservatives the party won the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough metro mayor seat from Labour. The combined authority's new mayor will be Paul Bristow a former Tory MP who lost his seat in the Peterborough constituency last year.  a majority of 10,596 ahead of Reform UK's Ryan Coogan's 49,647 PoliticsHome provides the most comprehensive coverage of UK politics anywhere on the web, offering high quality original reporting and analysis: Subscribe Are you looking to engage with the most influential people in UK politics PoliticsHome & The House Magazine organise a number of industry leading political events throughout the year Get daily news alerts and weekend round-ups straight to your inbox © Political Holdings Limited document.write(new Date().getFullYear()); As one of the AKC’s more popular dog breeds year after year, Yorkshire Terriers are popular toy dogs offering a big personality in a tiny package some of these Yorkshire Terrier Fun Facts might do the trick Even seasoned Yorkie owners may learn a few surprising things about their beloved breed You may have seen Yorkshire Terriers in the show ring with bows keeping their hair up This isn’t just a fun decoration: bows are actually a requirement according to the Yorkie breed standard The standard states that “the fall on the head is long tied with one bow in center of head or parted in the middle and tied with two bows.” Why stop at one bow when you could even do two Yorkies are known for their long, flowing, silky coats, which swish around the show ring. But this beautiful feature is also incredibly time-consuming to care for. Because the coat is similar to human hair, it tangles into knots if the owner doesn’t brush it every day (it can also break easily when brushing against carpets in the home) The bonus is that Yorkies don’t have an undercoat so their coat doesn’t shed anymore than your hair does Many breeders recommend that owners keep their pet Yorkies in a “puppy cut,” which is short and easily to maintain Sure, today they may wear bows in their top knots and their self-important air may make them seem like they have royal roots, but Yorkies have a rather unglamorous background of catching rats and other vermin in underground tunnels. This instinct still comes out in their play (offer a Yorkie a stuffed mouse, and you’ll see what we mean), and owners can put it to work in non-competitive AKC Earthdog tests This sport allows dogs to test their ability to pursue caged rats underground This fact will remain a point of contention among Cairn Terrier and Yorkshire Terrier fans alike The original drawings in the first edition of L Frank Baum’s book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz depict Toto as what some say seems to be a Yorkie considering the breed was popular at the time and that the illustrator W.W Yorkshire Terriers are known to be very affectionate friendly dogs treat everyone like their best friend Their small size makes them less intimidating to small children and are patient and overall family-friendly dogs Even when you call them by their “Yorkie” nickname These dogs have a lot of attitude in a small package these breeds were ratters before they were Victorian lapdogs and one international memorial in Australia you can help ensure that your pint-sized pup has a New York state of mind Yorkies started in the northern English countryside, alongside kinds of Scottish terriers, not to be confused with the Scottish Terrier breed.

185-target on day three against Warwickshire at Headingley with the visitors sealing victory by five wickets midway through the afternoon The White Rose chipped away at the wickets – the Bears were 109-4 at lunch needing 76 more – but in the end were consigned to a second defeat in four Rothesay County Championship matches this season Added to Yorkshire’s frustration was the fact they were deducted one point for a slow over-rate Openers Rob Yates and Alex Davies were significant contributors with 41 and 31 first-class debutant Zen Malik allayed any visiting fears and finished 49 not out winning the match with a pulled six off George Hill Warwickshire’s Beau Webster and Zen Malik celebrate victory over Yorkshire this afternoon Whilst always competitive in this fixture and with opportunities to win it Yorkshire weren’t at their best with either bat or ball in a fixture played out in bowler-friendly conditions They lost a crucial toss and were always fighting from behind having been bowled out for 205 on day one They have now lost two from four Division One matches and travel to Chelmsford on Friday to face coach Anthony McGrath’s former side Essex England batter Joe Root hit an excellent second-innings 90 the county’s only half-century of the match while New Zealand fast bowler Ben Sears impressed with six wickets in the match their standout performers were new-ball seamer Ethan Bamber and Australian all-round debutant Beau Webster who made an excellent first-innings 85 as the Bears took a lead of 48 Warwickshire captain Alex Davies is bowled by Ben Coad this morning Captain Davies took on the lead role in the chase this morning The England Lion hit seven boundaries in all and three of them came off one George Hill over Two were clipped through the leg-side and the other driven through the covers he was bowled through the gate by a beauty of an in-swinger from Ben Coad losing his off and middle stumps in the process as the score fell to 45 for one in the the day’s 10th over Jordan Buckingham then had Hamza Shaikh caught behind at 60-2 and Yates and Dan Mousley fell to New Zealand quick Ben Sears and Jordan Thompson respectively to boost Yorkshire before lunch Left-handed Yates was circumspect and by no means as lively as Davies had been Joe Root and his captain Jonny Bairstow discuss tactics in the field today When he pulled Buckingham for four through midwicket and clipped Thompson through the area shortly afterwards But Yates was undone by extra bounce from Sears and edged a looping catch to Root at first slip before Thompson uprooted Mousley’s off-stump – 109-4 in the 30th over If Yorkshire had kicked the door ajar at the end of the morning unfortunately Malik was to slam it shut after lunch was playing only his third first-team match and he shared in a fifth-wicket partnership of 59 with Ed Barnard who contributed 37 to round off an excellent personal performance which saw him claim three wickets in each innings and score 41 in the first innings Right-hander Malik was strong on both sides of the wicket and when he beautifully drove Thompson for four straight of mid-on to move into the thirties Barnard nonchalantly ramped Sears for six over third but edged the same bowler behind with 17 needed Ben Sears was impressive on home debut with six wickets in the match Yorkshire Women are in knockout T20
