And we're off.... again.... 4 days after we were off the first time when no-one was looking
Hants make the worst possible start losing their top two batters for virtually nothing in the first 7 balls
Hogan and Leaning are running amok against Gloucs
Steady as you go at Wantage Rd

45 mins in and they're into the 12th over in the blast......... you won't find that going on at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.... they'd have barely finished the power play over there

Gloucs are sinking like the Titanic. 8 down for barely 100
Adam Hose doing his best to set a half decent total for Worcs
Hants are on a hiding. 5 down in the 8th over

The most surprising thing about these batting collapses is that Durham aren't even playing

60 mins in and we're into the 16th overs
meanwhile, 60 mins in at the Narendra Modi Stadium, having just had a second strategic ad break, they are thinking about perhaps starting the 9th over in a little while

Big Kane Richardson takes 2 in 2 and Gloucester are cooked
their innings lasted 99 balls, so perhaps they got their wires crossed and were playing a different game to everyone else

Ed Pollock is batting 7 for Worcs. I'm sure he used to open, so maybe Worcs have been giving their tactics a bit of thought
He's off like a train too and Worcs suddenly look like they have time to get themselves a big score, so someone deserves a pay bonus

Hants are 56-5 after 11 overs
they usually look like a strong T20 outfit, but not today

Usama Mir picks up Pollock's baton and Worcs have 2 balls to try and get to 200
they don't do it. Mir gets stranded off strike and they're all out for 196. I guess they'll be very happy with that
10 sixes, 16 fours, 10 wickets falling...... first innings complete in just under 1 hour 25 mins.... that's how you do it
Meanwhile over in Nerendra Modi Stadium, they've completed their 4th and 5th strategic timeouts and the broadcasters have signalled that they are happy for the second half of the first innings to commence
