As 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.
