PHILINFRANCE

For anybody with satellite tv wishing to watch from home (without subscribing to, or paying for, Sky Sports Box Office), the match is being shown live and FTV on German tv - the Klitschko brothers are big stars in Germany and appear regularly on chat shows, game shows and the like. The commentary will obviously be in German, but (for non-German speakers) you can always turn down the volume and listen to the radio commentary, a la TMS.

Neneh, Neneh.

He's stance? Who's stance?

Oh Well, A typical quick-fire cameo of 19, but a useful 50 partnership and now a first innings lead of 20.

Well, this should test us now. Peter Treeeego has just come to join in Elgar, who appears quite well set at 35 Not Out. We shall see .

Didn't David Hopps also say that we had managed to find a used pitch - in our first home game of the season!?

This new Mark Little chap looks quite good.

You seem to have become extremely cynical in your old age .

I agree entirely, unless this is all a stunt from Haye. Nevertheless, and publicity stunt or not, to call the crowd retards is inexcusable.

He certainly was expensive in the first innings, in both spells. i just hope it wasn't because he was subconsciously thinking about his 'suspect' action rather than just bowling naturally as he did last season.

He took 2 wickets today, both stumped. 3 overs, 1 maiden 2 for 3. In addition, following 30odd in the first innings, he shared quite a lengthy last wicket partnership that almost saved the match.

I knew I had read it some time ago and have finally managed to locate it - another David Hopps article concerning Peter Roebuck. http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/952965.html

In addition to David Hopps, a true Yorkshireman, so are most of his colleagues to be fair. I forget his name now, but there was a young man who left the Cricinfo team last year (or perhaps the year before) who was also an enjoyable and knowledgeable read.

I love how, just as Charlo lands his uppercut, one of the two blondes in the front row turns to talk to her friend (who appears to be looking at her phone) only to turn around and see Williams on the canvas. Her anguished cry of 'Oh No!' is a classic.

Try this one - works for me. http://www.vipleague.me/

1-1 after extra time - Union scored an absolutely cracking equaliser. BD won 3-0 after penalties - they scored their first three, but Union missed all three of theirs.

Was our friend from Blagdon there this evening?

I was there as well. A huge round of applause from the large contingent of Wolves fans when Rovers finally scored - they were 5-0 down at the time.

Or even misspelt!

Both, I think.

Showing on cricfree - 2nd choice Stream 50.

I hope so. I support Bath, but hope Bristol hang on this season - it will be a lot easier for them to attract top class players for next season if/when they are guaranteed to be in the Premiership, rather than hoping to be, as has been the case for the past few seasons.

Until he got a silly yellow card!

Half-Time. Bath 12 - Bristol 3. Scrappy, quite boring game, but Bath deservedly leading.

No Freeman!?
