Only good news ahead of this game is Trott retired, Bell injured and Barker ( although don't think he was a one day regular ) is at Hampshire!

Win toss, inserted Warks, same XI as Wed.

Forecast for tomorrow suggests the dreaded DL might rear its ugly head again - looks like showers throughout the afternoon.

this time we'll win the toss and insert them. The rain will hold off for the full 50 overs and our chase will be hampered by constant rain delays, and endless DL recalculations

hope I'm wrong about the rest of the prediction

[Durhamfootman]

good to see the early demise of Pollock. He was a one man wrecking ball last year

[Arthur Crabtree]

Economical start for Salisbury.

The platform is set for a big total and the weather forecast is for showers later on...so I think you won't be wrong!

They're wobbling now - 2 wickets for Harte. 139/4 in the 32nd over. It's vital to keep the pressure on and make sure they don't finish strongly.

I thought Woakes was injured!

[Aidan11]

Bloody Ambrose again.

[captaincolly]

Bloody Ambrose again.

Good to hear from you! At least he has gone now. 212/7 with about 5 overs to go. Must not have a disastrous finish!

[captaincolly]

244/8. A fairly moderate looking total these days( and the lowest first innings score today ) but depends on the conditions I suppose. Worry is that is there anyone else likely to make a big score if Bancroft doesn't? If I was in the opposition I'd be quite confident of defending that score if he doesn't score a lot of the runs.

They did bat 50 overs and now the first rain interruption comes after one ball of our reply!

[captaincolly]

Restart at 4.15 with 211 needed from 36 overs.
