Gloucester will be lucky to get to 130

maybe even 120

I suspect jumping straight into red ball cricket, just two days after weeks of t20 cricket has ended, has something to do with that.

(Us and Essex are particularly impacted, because neither of us played in that one round of red ball matches a few weeks ago. Not only have our guys not faced a red ball in a match for weeks, but someone like Jimmy Adams hasn't faced any colour ball for weeks in the first team.)

Don't worry, we'll soon put that right.

Yorkshire eight down.

Would be worse if not for KW.

Snap (if you replace Williamson with Vince).

But, at least on paper, we both have bowling attacks capable of fighting back.

Trescothick out 5 runs short of a century.

Morkel and Derncrap saving Sorry's blushes

not 2 names that I'd normally associate with a 50 stand (nearly)

Somserset 294-6 Our bowling attack not doing what's required

Harmer not been as big of a threat this year which is dissapointing

Hameed watch begins

I saw they were 0-1 but Davies is the man out!

8 not out.

Remains in overnight.

No, still playing. Haseeb 20*.

Pretty good day for Northamptonshire but some poor bowling from Middlesex in helpful conditions.
