Time is beginning to run out on Yorkshire Phoenix in the North Conference of the Friends Provident League and they need to get back on track by beating leaders Warwickshire Bears at Edgbaston tomorrow.

Yorkshire now have three FP matches over the next seven days - they travel to Derby for a floodlit encounter on Thursday and play Durham at Headingley Carnegie on Sunday.

They must start picking up the points again if they are to reach the semi-final knockout stages by virtue of finishing in the top two.

They got off to an encouraging start in April by winning their first two matches but May has not been so kind to them because they have lost to Leicestershire and Lancashire and shared the points from a rain-ruined game with Worcestershire.

Their bowling was badly mauled by Lancashire, who had little difficulty racking up 251 for three to win with 26 balls to spare at Old Trafford.

Nobody suffered more than young leg-spinner Adil Rashid, whose ten overs cost him 74 runs.

Rashid is being rested from tomorrow's game but left-arm spinner David Wainwright is included in the squad of 12.

Yorkshire's director of cricket Martyn Moxon said he thought the batsmen had scored the necessary volume of runs in the two games which they had lost but the bowlers had not kept up the momentum after making a good start.

Yorkshire Phoenix (v Warwickshire Bears) from: White, Rudolph, McGrath, Younus, Gale, Pyrah, Bresnan, Guy, Gough, Gillespie, Kruis, Wainwright.
