Headingley

Yorkshire will host Durham at Headingley, Leeds, for their second County Championship Division One encounter of the season, clashing from September 24 to 27, 2025. The action is set to kick off at 3:00 PM IST.

Facts:

Yorkshire’s Adam Lyth is the third leading batter of the County Championship Division One, having amassed 1104 runs in 23 innings.
Emilio Gay stands as the leading run scorer for Durham with 941 runs in 21 innings.
Yorkshire lead their head-to-head tally against Durham by a 2-1 scoreline in the last five games.

Yorkshire vs Durham Chances of Winning

Yorkshire made no headway whatsoever as they drew their previous game against Sussex, having posted a measly 194-run stand in the first innings. Opener Adam Lyth emerged as the top scorer with 47 runs, and the team allowed Sussex to get past the target with 250 runs on the board. In their second innings with the bat, the Leeds-based side were 109/3 - skipper and wicket-keeper batter Jonny Bairstow was unbeaten on 66. However, as they approached the end of day four, the match headed for a draw.

Durham were quite strong during the last outing against Worcestershire where the latter posted a competitive stand of 591 runs. However, this did not deter Durham in the slightest as they were 450/6 during their chase; opener Emilio Gay and Will Rhodes went hammer and tongs with 161 and 151* runs, respectively, while David Bedingham made a valuable contribution of 58 runs. Despite this high scoring endeavor, a shortage of time brought the match to a close in a deadlock.

Although the teams batting first have a 2-1 lead at Headingley this season, the pitch favors the teams chasing. The toss winners elected to field first on all three occasions while the average first innings total of 296 is quite low.

Yorkshire vs Durham Betting Odds

Yorkshire to have a better opening partnership than Durham

Alex Lees’ dwindling performances have put strain on Durham’s first wicket, and Emilio Gay is left to pick up the slack which has resulted in subpar opening stands in the last three matches. The pair set up totals of 10, 55, 18, 27 and 23 runs which pale in comparison to Yorkshire’s opening wicket. Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean are much more proactive with scores of 69, 5, 32 and 46 together in the previous three games. Naturally, the bookmakers are positive that Yorkshire’s openers have the upper hand in the upcoming fixture.

Yorkshire vs Durham Best Batters

Adam Lyth to be Yorkshire’s Best Batter

Adam Lyth was Yorkshire’s leading batter in the first innings against Sussex where he scored 47 runs, and he went on to score four additional runs in the following innings. He solidified his position as the team’s top run scorer with 1104 runs in 23 innings, along with three tons and five half-centuries. With an average of 50.18, he is expected to be their standout batter in the next match.

Emilio Gay to be Durham’s Best Batter

Emilio Gay emerged as the leading run-getter for Durham against Worcestershire last time around, having notched up a remarkable 161-run century. He has claimed the top spot overall with 941 runs in 21 innings, including four centuries and one 50. Averaging at 49.52, he is anticipated to come out on top against Yorkshire.

Yorkshire vs Durham Best Bowlers

George Hill to be Yorkshire’s Best Bowler

The prediction for the previous game panned out as expected considering George Hill emerged as Yorkshire’s top bowler in their sole innings against Sussex. He delivered 19.2 overs, bowled six maidens, captured a four-wicket haul and earned an impressive economy rate of 2.22. He is their top wicket-taker this season with 45 wickets in 19 innings, and his average of 17.37 makes him the favorite against Durham.

Ben Raine to be Durham’s Best Bowler

Ben Raine was tied as the second leading bowler for Durham in the last outing against Worcestershire, having claimed two wickets in 33 overs. He extended his lead as their top wicket-taker with a total of 39 wickets in 20 innings and an average of 29.58. He remains the leading contender for the next encounter, too.
