Scores in the first hour of the first morning of the new season...

Worcs v Kent - No play so far (wet outfield)
Northants 19/0 v Sussex
Gloucs 41/1 v Essex

No Jordan for Sussex. I guess he's resting, but a strong looking attack. Wicketless so far, but strong looking.

Luke Wright is also out of the side.

Sussex have bowled well since lunch according to the radio commentators. Hopefully now Magoffin and Shahzad have finished their spells runs will start to flow.

Duckett reaches his century. It's been a struggle since lunch but well done.

Ridiculous that Worcs didn't move this game to Kidderminster or a different ground. New Road had a wet outfield once again despite no rain today.

Did lob it down yesterday and the outfield will be nautrally soft underfoot due to winter flooding and frost.

ECB should have reversed the venues and play the return fixture 24hrs after originally advertised.

Blimey... so much for the much vaunted Sussex attack

they've been flogged today

on paper Mags/Robinson/Shahzad looks very strong. Did they choose to bowl?

He has a sore right arm.

Anyone know why Ollie Stone is not playing for Northants, he was taking wickets just a few days ago.

Slight muscle pull according to the commentary yesterday. Should be fit for Northants' next game in a fortnight.
