8 down now and in danger of not even getting 150.

And surprise surprise - it's a career best for Zac Chappell.

And surprise surprise - it's a career best for Zac Chappell.

Before today he had 7 wickets from 10 games at an average of nearly 63. 3 for 45 today.

Ryan Davies and McCarthy giving the score some respectability now. Very good start by the newbie-scoring quickly too so pencil him in for the T20.

[captaincolly]

200 up. Might have a chance here especially as Cosgrove isn't playing.

[captaincolly]

50 for Davies on debut.

[captaincolly]

McCarthy out but not before the century partnership was brought up. That must be a record 8th wicket stand.
240 all out.

Now all we need is a 5fer from Salisbury and all is well

Record 9th wicket stand not 8th- even more impressive!

[captaincolly]

Salisbury doing a Dixon - 6 and 4 in his first over.

Cameron Delport teeing off - South African and I see he has the record for the highest opening stand in List A cricket - put on 367 with Morne van Wyk back in 2014.

[captaincolly]

76 from the first 10 overs. Delport has 56 of them though so if we can get him out we might have a chance - if being the operative word!

Difference between the 2 teams is in the 2 overseas men.

Yep. If Delport was playing for us he'd probably bat 4 or 5! Having openers open the batting is not in our game plan.

[captaincolly]

Tidy start by Pringle and he has a wicket - unfortunately it's Horton not Delport. 93/1.
