    I write that and Abbas get done LBW, leaving Keith Barker on 52* and Somerset requiring 2 (two) to win.

      Overton takes 7 for 82 across both innings and is the leading wicket taker in the CC

      Somerset tied with Lancs for second overall, seven points behind Gloucestershire

        That half the games ended with a result is pretty good considering the weather.

        Do bonus points drive play in enough of a way that makes them worth having?

          This looks like it will be an absolute cracker.

          First instalment already up

            If you had 210 points and used bonus points as a tie breaker you'd have the same standings but a less confusing points total.

              Not great weather today. Glamorgan Yorkshire won't see play before lunch due to a wet outfield. Somerset Surrey and Middlesex Hampshire delayed by rain.

              Only six matches this round. Does anyone know why?

                Essex Derbyshire is also delayed.

                  Every time I see a photo of that Gloucestershire jumper I like it more.

                    From last week to the end of the current block of Championship fixtures in early June, there isn't a single week where all 18 counties are playing. I haven't checked but I assume that each county is getting a week off during this time, similar to the bye weeks seen in the NFL. I'm not sure if this originally arose from wanting to make opponents available to play New Zealand, before their warm ups were changed to intra squad fixtures.

                      Matching ringed caps would really complement it well

                        Oh yes.

                        I need to stop getting annoyed at the quality of county cricket merchandise. It's probably not a 'if you build it...' thing.

                        Abbas has picked up a couple of wickets this morning as Middlesex are 120/7. Sussex going ok.

                          Still no play at Taunton

                            Just turned on the match at Sophia Gardens for the first time and...sake, Glamorgan!

                              Good to see the hometown represent though :

                                Hampshire seem to have completely forgotten how to bat. 9-3 in reply to Middlesex's 172.

                                  149 is currently not looking like a bad score at all, with Yorkshire on 6/2

                                    Yeah. Root (your one) looks like he could be the difference between the teams though, unsurprisingly.

                                      Joe Root v Glamorgan ať the moment.

                                      I'm watching Middlesex struggle, Abbas is just a pleasure to see.

                                        Essex looks likely to win this by an innings having lost only three wickets, which can't have happened that often

                                          It's still only Derbyshire's first innings. All these games losing the first day means it doesn't really feel like day 3

                                            Yes, but they still trail by 266

                                            I was assuming a follow on

                                              I heart Joe Root

                                              Comment


                                                Looks like Ursus is right and I was being too cautious.

                                                Did ad hoc do that to Root? Or is the time gap too big?

                                                Comment


                                                  I think David Lloyd did that to Joe Root.

                                                    The bear is proved right as Essex win by an innings and 15 runs.

                                                    Does anyone know what happened in Chester-le-street? Worcestershire looked pretty well placed this morning. I was certain they were going to keep their stream of draws going.
