YOR vs KET Match Preview

Yorkshire are having a good time in the County Championship. They have played four matches so far, out of which they have won three. They are currently placed at the second spot in the English County Test Championship.

Notably, Yorkshire will welcome back Joe Root in the team, who will be crucial for them in the middle-order against Kent’s brilliant bowling attack.

Whereas, it hasn’t been a memorable outing for Kent who are currently reeling at the bottom of the points table despite boasting a stupendous top-order, including England international Zak Crawley. They have also played four games in the tournament and have not won a single one. 

The last time they played against each other in this season, Yorkshire beat Kent by a huge margin of 200 runs courtesy of twin hundreds from Adam Lyth and Joe Root in the third innings.
