Can't not get those.

[Durhamfootman]

particularly with Broad bowling

scores are tied

[Durhamfootman]

Robson making everybody wait

doesn't he know that I have a busy FL day on a Sunday.... needs to get his finger out

[Durhamfootman]

easy as you like

well done the Middle

that'll do them the power of good after a bit of a shocking start to the season

[Arthur Crabtree]

Great win for Surrey, thanks to their England top three.

Decent day too for Notts' England openers.

Lots of ex-England opening bats around.

Middx have Stoneman and Robson.

YJB to play for Yorks on Thursday. It's a test, apparently, so see how he goes and if he can cope. He will try a bit of keeping, but not all the time

Very nice, but what about the team? They're effectively playing someone whose fitness is largely unknown, who had a pronounced limp 2 weeks ago just to assess his usefulness to England in June. If I was Yorks fan, I'd be angry about that

maybe Yorks are expecting a points deduction non-season, or perhaps are hoping that obliging England in this way will help grease their wheels come points deduction decision day

[Arthur Crabtree]

Why not a club game? Surely this diminishes the CC, turning into a workout for Bairstow.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I see TRJ is injured. Unless England have extended their rest and recuperation programme.

[Durhamfootman]

Gloucs have closed early without much play

raining in London and Birmingham, but 6 wicket s down in each match

Durham and Leics both 5 down in their matches, but a first century for new boy Ollie Robinson (the other one) since moving to Durham

[Durhamfootman]

A rare failure for Sam Hain, and a not so rare failure for Zac Crawley
