Joe Root is the star attraction in Sky Sports first live county action of the summer. The England batsman returns to Yorkshires team for the first time in 2016 for the County Championship encounter with Nottinghamshire, live on Sky Sports 2 from 10.30am on Sunday.Root is looking to build on another sensational few months for England, which saw him finish as their top run-scorer at the World T20, with 249 runs across his six innings at a strike-rate of 146.47, including a staggering 83 from 44 balls in a record run chase of 230 against South Africa.Roots attention now returns to the longer format ahead of another busy Test summer, Englands first Test against Sri Lanka getting underway at Headingley on Thursday, May 19.But he isnt the only one who will be using Sundays game at Trent Bridge as ideal preparation for that first Test - Jonny Bairstow, Stuart Broad and Alex Hales are also set to feature. Jonny Bairstow says hes feeling positive after scoring a double ton for Yorkshire Bairstow has again been in fine form for Yorkshire following an outstanding 2015 that saw him recalled to the Test team, striking a career-best first class score of 246 against Hampshire.In the opposing dressing-room, Hales, like Root, sees his first county cricket action of the summer having been granted an extended break, while Broad will be hoping for a greater impact than just the three wickets he managed in Notts defeat to Lancashire.Looking to oust Hales as England opener is Yorkshires Adam Lyth, who, too, hit a hundred against Hampshire - he held Hales spot this time last year, but lost it after a tough Ashes series which saw him average only 12.77. Alex Hales will be looking to lock in his England openers spot Lyths Headingley team-mate Gary Ballance is another looking to earn back a place for England, hoping to perhaps fill in at number five in the order, the spot vacated by James Taylor after his cricketing career was cut short when diagnosed with a rare heart condition.Ryan Sidebottom is another former England international who could feature, although the 38-year-olds international career is well behind him, and he left the field with hamstring trouble when into only his sixth over of Yorkshires tussle with Warwickshire this week.If Sidebottom fails to prove his fitness in time for Sunday, it could mean a first Yorkshire start for fellow left-arm-seamer David Willey, an arrival from Northamptonshire during the close season. Will David Willey earn his first Championship start for Yorkshire? Willey is one of a possible five England World T20 squad members who could play, with Root, Hales, Adil Rashid and Liam Plunkett - who also spanked an 82-ball hundred against Hampshire - the others.Further English interest is provided by Notts men Michael Lumb, Samit Patel, Chris Read and Harry Gurney, while outside bets for a first international call-up are Yorkshire seamer Jack Brooks and Nottinghamshire pacer Jake Ball.Watch all above the above in action in what is set to be a thrilling County Championship clash between Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire.

Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Kristaps Porzingis Jersey . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. https://www.cheapknicks.com/ . Miller reached right to deflect Mikhail Grabovskis attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. Gerald Wilkins Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. Jason Kidd Jersey . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. This time last year, two golfers -- Lydia Ko and Inbee Park -- commanded most of the attention going into the CME Group Tour Championship with LPGA season honors on the line.For the last event of 2016, which starts Thursday at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, Ko, No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings, again is a main part of the plot. But Park, bothered much of the season by a thumb injury, isnt in this weeks field. The gold medalist in womens golf at the Summer Olympics and a seven-time major champion, Park is taking an extended break in hopes of getting healthy again.Ko has another very formidable foil at this years CME Group Tour Championship in the form of Ariya Jutanugarn. The 20-year-old from Thailand burst into prominence in the spring with three straight victories -- she was the first LPGA winner from that increasingly golf-loving country -- and has added two more since, including a major title at the Ricoh Womens British Open.Jutanugarn arrives on Floridas southwest coast with one more victory in 2016 than Ko, whose four wins are topped by a a major triumph at the ANA Inspiration. The 19-year-old from New Zealand took advantage of a late-Sunday swoon by Jutanugarn, who had a two-stroke lead before a crushing bogey-bogey-bogey finish that opened an avenue for Ko to win her second straight major.That was seven long months ago, and the uncertainty with which Jutanugarn played those closing holes at Mission Hills Country Club has been replaced with a relaxed confidence.As the LPGA concludes its global schedule in the United States after six tournaments in Asia and last weeks Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico, Jutanugarn, not Ko, has the mojo of the moment.Although Jutanugarn hasnt won since the Canadian Pacific Womens Open in late August, she has played well of late, racking up five top-10s in seven events since her fifth victory. Ko, on the other hand, hasnt won since July and has experienced an indifferent fall with only one top-10 in her last six starts, with three finishes outside the top 40. Her game has been uneven, and she fired caddie Jason Hamilton, with whom she had a lot of success the last couple of years. Ko is still No. 1 in the world, but Jutanugarn is an ascendant No. 2 after a major attitude adjustment.This year, I have so much fun, more than last year, Jutanugarn said during the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia in late October. This year, my only focus is I really want to be happy on the course. Thats the change for me from last year.Its hard to fathom that a year ago Jutanugarn missed the cut in 10 consecutive events.dddddddddddd. But she began to play better late in the 2015 season and in 2016, following her collapse at the ANA Inspiration, began working with performance coaches Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson of Vision54. With an improved mindset, Jutanugarn was poised to capitalize on her talent, evident since she won the 2011 U.S. Girls Junior at age 15.Powerful (she is ranked 18th in 2016 in driving distance despite rarely ever using a driver) with good touch (she is No. 3 in putts per green in regulation), Jutanugarn has the lead over Ko in a couple of season races. Jutanugarn tops the money list with $2,475,218, less than $20,000 ahead of the South Korea-born New Zealander. She has a 14-point advantage over Ko for Rolex Player of the Year and leads the Race to the CME Globe with Ko in the second position. Ko (69.611) has a narrow lead over Jutanugarn (69.632) in scoring average.The path to victory this week for either Jutanugarn or Ko could be blocked by Shanshan Feng of China, who won back-to-back events (Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia and Toto Japan Classic) within the last month. The bronze medalist at Rio, behind Park and Ko, Feng has climbed to No. 4 in the world, trailing Ko, Jutanugarn and South Korean In Gee Chun, the winner of the seasons final major, The Evian Championship.One honor that isnt in the balance at Tiburon: Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year. Chun, who wasnt an LPGA member in 2015 when she won the U.S. Womens Open, already has captured that award easily over Mexicos Gaby Lopez, American Megan Khang and Su Oh of Australia.Besides Park, notably absent from the season-ender, for which 72 players qualify, is Michelle Wie. The 2014 U.S. Womens Open champion, Wie finished 115th in the Race to the CME Globe and has tumbled to 160th in the Rolex Rankings after missing 12 cuts in her first 20 events of 2016. She played better in Asia -- picking up a top-10 at the Blue Bay LPGA -- but the upswing couldnt make up for her poor play earlier in the year.At the end of a disappointing season, Wie, 27, can look at Jutanugarn as an example of how things can turn around drastically. When youve been mired in a slump and hobbled with injuries, you look for any available inspiration. The womens game is now in the hands of young stars who will have the stage, trying to end a season in style. ' ' '
