WAR OF THE WORLDS
England stars Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow will both return today to play their first County Championship match of the season as "wounded" Yorkshire eye revenge against Hampshire. Andrew Gale’s side suffered a shock defeat by Hampshire in their opening game of the season at Headingley earlier this month. But Yorkshire’s attempt to settle the score on the south coast has been boosted by the return of their big guns. Root will make his first Yorkshire appearance since taking on the Test captaincy earlier this year while Bairstow, controversially rested by England for the opening two rounds of the Championship despite hardly playing any cricket so far this year, is also set to be in his county’s XI at the Ageas Bowl.
