It's on tv as well and that's usually a bad sign.

Worcs will go second with a very healthy NRR, after this match

not sure we'd beat them again either

defo needs to be rained off then

Notts in charge against Lancs and Yorks in charge against Warks, so that'll tighten everything up at the top of the table.

Maybe we'll have to hope we play Notts after all. beat them handsomely and we might even go top if Notts slash Lancs NRR tonight

Derby are going to beat Leics, so that's helpful

Tahir leaving soon as well. No sign of an announcement over a replacement- probably means there won't be one or they're going to build up anticipation then announce someone we've never heard of.

Blue skies in CLS so it'll be game on!

We've chosen to bowl. Not sure about that- got a better chance of defending a decent score with Tahir than we have of chasing anything par or above imo.

Wessels out 2nd ball. 1/1 after 1 over.
As I said, always a good idea to bowl.

[captaincolly]

29/3 after 6 plus a dropped catch a poor umpiring decision.

[captaincolly]

133 to win. Not a great pitch for T20 but surely shouldn't be a problem unless there's brainless batting! And that's always a distinct possibility.
Question is do they try and go hard in the power play or just play low risk cricket with under 7 an over needed?

[captaincolly]

Stokes gone early to a good ball and already a feeling they might make hard work of this unless Latham gets a good score.

And he's out for 9. 40-2 in the 7th over.

[Durhamfootman]

good performnce with the ball, I find

let's hope they can match it with the bat

no Stokes bowling, I see

England pulling the strings again?
