There must be something in the tea bags

Joe-Root2As one of the main sponsors of both cricketing charity Chance to Shine and this Investec Ashes series Yorkshire Tea are a company at the forefront of English cricket fans’ minds.

There must be something special in the teabags as currently the 3 Yorkshire batsman in England’s top 5 are a collective 119-1 and counting in reply to Australia’s 60 all out.

Add in a little help from skipper Alistair Cook (43) and career test best figures of 9.3-5-15-8 for local lad Stuart Broad in the morning session and it’s turning into a very good day for England, hunting the win that will seal the victory in this years’ Ashes series.

Joe Root has passed 50 in this evening session and he and Bairstow share a partnership currently standing at 77. Stay posted to see how England get on in this evening session on Day 1.

Lets have a proper brew

With the England team nowadays made up by so many Yorkshiremen and one of Englands’ sponsors being Yorkshire Tea, it felt fitting to go and speak to the Yorkshire company and hear about the northern touch that they were hoping to imprint on the Midlands.

The van they are serving piping hot tea from, known as the little urn, has followed the Ashes series to each ground so far. Their aim to spread their northern delights and building on the relationship they have with cricket fans and tea drinkers alike as the ashes heads through the midlands before concluding in London next week.

The freebies they are giving away are keeping everyone warm and refreshed and accompanying the cricket fantastically well. Anyone for a brew?
