Now Lyth goes to Bailey. Yorks could do with one of those Durham style rain delays.

Start delayed again at the Riverside.

Must be awful conditions around the grounds.
Leicestershire 46/6 against Warwickshire with Cosgrove run out!

Excellent. A tough start but hopefully he's into his stride now.

So Gleeson off to Lancashire. Apparently there was a release clause as long as compensation was paid.

Not a lot of cricket being played beyond Durham and the deep south.

Looks set in about where I am.

That's a bit unfair. Sussex aren't that bad!

Did Durham hire the guy at Lancs who does the out grounds?
