Middlesex are off like a train.... 150-2 after 11 overs

Gloucs will do well to claw this back

167-3 after 13 overs

at this pace they could realistically hit 230 or 240

at this pace, of course. They might fall apart from here

well, they are doing their best to fall apart.... if 202-7 with 3 overs to go is falling apart. Here in Durham this would be dreamland and we'd be nervously feeling that this was probably a 250 pitch

Northants line up looked weird, last night. They looked totally unsuited for T20. Not helped by the rain delay which definitely favoured Warwickshire. 4 overs taken but Warwickshire still had their big hitters in and firing while Northants suddenly had 3 overs of their best bowlers chopped off because they'd already bowled 3 overs and only one could then bowl a death over. It left them horribly exposed.

They'll probably fix the personnel issue and then be brilliant against Durham tonight

indeed they were

comprehensive win.... although Durham could very well have won it if they hadn't self destructed once they entered the final furlong ahead of the field

Not quite a DickFrancis/Devon Loch moment but lower down on the same page, perhaps

If that was Wendell in the ground, then he looks like he's put on a bit of weight.... then again... haven't we all?
