County Championship 2024

[Arthur Crabtree]

Unexpected early season success for the Yorkshire spinners at Headingley.

Could be a 2 day finish at Taunton. 30 wickets so far and it's still the afternoon session of day 2! Somerset need 167 to win but Essex probably favourites?

Lancashire 38-5!

68 for the 9th wicket for Derbys is a handy recovery.

Was poor from our bowlers/captain. Tinkler had one shot, stepping to leg and swinging into the offside. We kept on serving him short/length stuff, just bowl it at his toes with 9 fielders infront of square on the offside and take the golf swing out the game.

Or maybe not! Somerset openers off to s flyer.

Now 44/7.

Bit worried watching Pujara, as he seems to have an issue with his back. Standing very upright in his stance, and moving a bit gingerly.

Rob Key is busy stitching half a Kookabura and half a Dukes together.....

Yep. The Guardian blog mentioning their lowest score against Kent is 61, in 1884.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Got to 92, but batting again.

Derbyshire just banging half trackers in atm. Sussex going to be about 100 in the lead tonight, so hopefully the weather holds up for the rest of the game, big opportunity for another win.

Somerset need 23 runs for a 2 day win..... what a nonsense

[Durhamfootman]

2 overs of spin in the match
