39 overs remaining but lights are on and it's pretty gloomy. Can't imagine the students will enjoy batting in these conditions.

15-0 and off for bad light after 8 overs.

Yes. Much better than expected. Good for the bowlers to get plenty of overs in although there's always a concern that Coughlin will get injured! He's bowling better than the figures suggest. When I arrived it looked like I might have brought rain again but clear blue skies now.

I've noticed that Pottsy has been holding his right wrist on his way back to his mark. Hope that's nothing
