Dear God! Not only is Pringle in the starting X1, he's opening the batting.

[captaincolly]

And naturally he is out!

[captaincolly]

It's the usual 14/2 but the even worse news is it's Bancroft who is out now.

[captaincolly]

Make that 14/3.

[captaincolly]

Losing 4 wickets in under an hour against a side who have been in div 2 for years is an interesting tactic. By interesting I mean catastrophic- they'll be out by lunch at this rate!

[SaintPowelly]

Lull them into a false sense of security, I like it.

That must be it!

OFFS!

looks as though I can start booking in appointments for the latter half of Wednesday morning after all

This is bad even going by our poor run to the CC this season.

Strangely there seems to be poor batting everywhere so far today apart from at Hampshire.

And the even worse news at CLS is Nick Cook is umpiring!

[captaincolly]

Eckersley out lbw for 12. 62/6.

Is Will Smith injured or massively out of favour?

[captaincolly]

And someone on twitter- presumably watching the stream-says it was a poor decision!

[captaincolly]

Is Will Smith injured or massively out of favour?

Out of favour although I'm not sure why. His form was poor last year and had one game at the start of this one but should be in for his experience alone.

[captaincolly]

Some sarcastic applause as the 100 comes up! And a bit of luck shortly before with Burnham dropped.
