YOR vs HAM Match Prediction & Analysis
The opening round of the County Championship Division One saw only one side get a victory with Essex, who are expected to challenge at the top of the table, overcoming Sussex who are riddled with off-field problems.
Yorkshire travelled south to South Wales and to Cardiff where they took on hosts Glamorgan, newly promoted and managed to hold on for a draw on the final day of the contest.
As for Hampshire, they were thrashed by Essex in front of their own supporters, eventually going down inside three days by an innings and 137 runs with a very disappointing team performance.
Both sides have plenty of room for improvement ahead of this clash!

TEAMS PREVIEW
Yorkshire Preview
Yorkshire will be without their captain and former England all-format star Jonny Bairstow for this game after he sustained a small fracture to his thumb in the draw in Cardiff last week.
He was substituted out of the match with Will Luxton coming in to replace him, and as per the new ECB substitution rules, has to sit out for the next eight days before being eligible for selection again.
In Bairstow's absence, expect Adam Lyth, Sam Whiteman and Matthew Revis to be the main run-scorers for Yorkshire.
With the ball, Jack White and stand-in skipper Dom Bess will likely cause the most issues.
Yorkshire Predicted Playing XI:
Adam Lyth, Finlay Bean, Sam Whiteman, Will Luxton (wk), James Wharton, Matthew Revis, George Hill, Dom Bess (c), Logan van Beek, Ben Coad, Jack White

Hampshire Preview
Hampshire's loyal and patient fans made their feelings abundantly clear during the opening round of fixtures when their side were brushed aside with barely a whimper by Essex last week.
After winning the toss and choosing to field first, not a lot else went right for Hampshire who then conceded 461/7 before failing to go beyond 168 in either of their two innings with the bat.
Ahead of this game, we can expect the pace duo of Kyle Abbott and Sonny Baker to cause the majority of issues for Yorkshire's batters.
With the bat, Australian Jake Lehmann, Nick Gubbins and Tom Prest produced the most runs in last week's disappointing show.
Hampshire Predicted Playing XI:
Joe Weatherley, Nick Gubbins, Tom Prest, Jake Lehmann, Ben Brown (c) (wk), Ben Mayes, Liam Dawson, Codi Yusuf, Kyle Abbott, Eddie Jack, Sonny Baker

Average Turn
Headingley has long been a great venue for batting when the sun shines but the conditions for this week's game look likely to favour the bowlers throughout. Therefore, a par score in the first innings is likely to be no higher than 250.
Toss: To Bowl
With the weather forecast likely to favour the fielding sides over the first two days of the game, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first in this match.

Winning Prediction
Although Yorkshire were not at their best last week, Hampshire were particularly poor against Essex. We expect Yorkshire to be the dominant side in this game from start to finish.
