County Championship 2026

[Arthur Crabtree]

Jack Leach is batting at 8 for Somerset! Not nightwatcher either.

[Durhamfootman]

trying to rebuild an England case?

[Durhamfootman]

seemingly Bairstow had to go off with a hand injury yesterday, so we'll have to wait and see if he appears today.

Perhaps his gloves weren't thick enough.... not his fault

[Arthur Crabtree]

Could be subbed.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Potts gets Crawley lbw

Couple of early wickets this morning too.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good Dom Bess finally breaks 100 partnership for Glamorgan. A bit cold for bowling spin.

[The Professor]

Derbyshire really putting Worcs under the pump here

[Durhamfootman]

Santiago rolling back the years

[Arthur Crabtree]

He was the last name I left out of my all format XI.

I'm drawn to picking captains as they are less likely to be dropped.

[Durhamfootman]

He was the last name I left out of my all format XI.

probably just as well, because he might very well have to miss the white ball stuff to keep himself fit for the CC, which feels more like his natural home to me

[Durhamfootman]

An excellent recovery from Glammy to 250-7. I see that Ingram was out, caught Bean, so I'm unsure if that means YJBlameless is still off the field, although I don't think he's been subbed

Hants finally got Critchley out for 173, but my boy Harmer is still there on 52. 410-7

Ben Cox and Ben Green have helped Weatherall get Leics to 239-8, so still in the game

Warks are helping themselves v Surrey. 250-2 and all 4 batters have helped themselves to half centuries

[Durhamfootman]

Derbys have finally declared on 628

Durham have knocked Kent over for 197, but the covers are on

Middx declared on 445 and already have Gloucs in a bit of early bother

Santiago has 5 fer and Northants are 181-8 in reply to Lancs 384

[Durhamfootman]

the end, when it came, was quick. Leics all out for 245. 116 behind. 5 each for Robinson and Crocombe

Pretorius is denting Notts reply v Somerset

Sanderson adding runs to his 5 fer v Lancs

[Arthur Crabtree]

Glamorgan not really getting on with it, despite the time lost.

[Durhamfootman]

Cook in the wickets straightaway v Hants

3 wickets for good Dom Bess as Glammy all out for 302. They did well to get there, I think

Sussex building a big 3rd innings lead

Notts have recovered v Somerset

Warks have passed the Surrey total for the loss of only 2 wickets
