The Vitality Blast continues on Saturday with three matches taking place in a North Group which is getting very interesting after a crazy set of results in the section on Friday evening. This feels like a big day in this group.
The international T20 gets the TV treatment on Saturday so we are reduced to the streams the counties have for these three matches. Two of them clash but there is a standalone one in the evening so watching them shouldn’t be too difficult.
North Group
The afternoon matches see four of the top five in the table in action. The leaders at Nottinghamshire and they will look to move a couple of points clear at the top when they take on fifth placed Lancashire at Trent Bridge. The other match in the earlier set of games sees the teams in third and fourth in the table meeting when the Birmingham Bears host Durham at Edgbaston with both sides looking to bounce back from disappointing defeats in their last games.
The later match comes from Headingley where second placed Yorkshire will look to bounce back from their surprising defeat at Leicester on Friday evening when they host a Northamptonshire who have won their last two matches to get themselves attached to the rest of the group but whose run might have come a little too late unless they can put another win on top of those two successes here.

Betting
There isn’t a huge amount that I like over the course of these matches on Saturday. The one I do like comes in one of the earlier games in the day where the Birmingham Bears take on the Durham Dynamos in a match where I’m not going to predict the winner, although with an outright punt on the Bears I hope it is them who win. Instead I’m going to head to the sixes market where a line of 11.5 sixes for this one looks a little on the low side to me.
This match is being played at Edgbaston so we know there will be a short boundary somewhere along the line because they always play their domestic matches on the edges of the square to keep the middle pitches fresh for the international cricket and this year I assume The Hundred too. There are plenty of big hitters on these two sides and you wouldn’t say either bowling attack are going great guns especially with all the injuries that the Bears have. I like over 11.5 sixes here.
