If they are going to play the game, then they should play it properly, imo, and stop bending the rules to suit themselves

Typical.
A few spots of rain and the covers are on. One of those times where they'd play through the drizzle but not start in it.

Another wicket for Carse in his next over - I thought Bancroft was juggling the catch!
54/2.

He has 3 and so does Carse.
174/6.
33 overs scheduled after this one.

That rarest of beasts at the Riverside....... a 7th wicket partnership developing...... 52 atm
