PHILINFRANCE

Somerset's One Day shirt.

I shouldn't think so - the curfew only takes effect from midnight on Friday evening.

Somerset Bears?

It was Harlequins' recent defeat against Wasps when they had Elia sent off that has potentially buggered us.

You and I might be, but SKY are remarkably slow again in getting their live stream up and running.

Hindsight, of course, is a wonderful attribute, but I wonder whether just a little bit of nous might have convinced us to try and play out as many overs as we could this evening, if just to eke out a few more runs in case a first innings lead does intervene - there are now only three days for three innings, not accounting for rain/bad light interruptions.

Given the weather forecast, I would have preferred to be bowling first.

It’s a shame that James Hildreth has failed to recover from his hamstring injury, but, his personal disappointment aside, for I am sure he would have just loved to be playing on such a big stage, he has not been in the best of form lately.

50 up in the 5th over!

Gregory again. His previous over was (somewhat unluckily) quite expensive, but he has now got his second wicket, the important one of Libby.

They don’t have a striker. Full Stop!

Current run rate for this partnership: 0.14! But, if they can hang around for another half an hour or so until the sun comes out....

Do you know 'Tumbles'?

Oh Well, if they can limit to just the one wicket....

Back out batting now - 21 overs left in the day, so 40/50 runs and no wickets down would be ideal.

Worcs batting points are of no relevance - it is Derby/Yorks who are of more concern.

Many Thanks! A shame I didn't ask a couple of hours ago....

I can't seem to find the stream today. Does anybody have a link? Thanks in advance.

Three times.... Spurs, Forest and Man City.

29 runs!

Should have been, but those three quick wickets will make it difficult. Mind you, the wides (now 10) might help!

Babar has just been bowled. It will be interesting to see whether the viewing figures (circa 5,000/12,000 depending upon the the stream) go down or even whether the stream continues - just dropped to 1,000 and 9,000.

For anybody intereted, the match is being streamed live on YouTube. For some reason ?, the commentary appears to be in Urdu! The commentator sounds as if he is describing a close finish in the Grand National rather than a cricket match.

A propos overanalysing, your friend AGod has thoughtfully provided a breakdown of the expected points table following close of play tomorrow - based on the weather forecast for the rest of today and tomorrow.

To be fair, AGod is not the only one criticising the late declaration. Personally, I am torn between the idea of encouraging young Tom L to get his maiden first class century and the risk of jeopardising yet again another nailed on 16 points win.
