Apart from Sidebottom, it's pretty much the usual.

Missing Liam Plunkett, Moin Ashraf, Ben Coad and Will Rhodes. Also to some degree Oliver Robinson and Iain Wardlaw.

today's televised game is Warks vs Surrey...im going for a Warks win..

Rain at Edgbaston and the hover cover comes out. I notice it's just long enough to cover just beyond the stumps whereas at Old Trafford it was much longer and covered fully the bowler take off points. It's often those areas that cause so much problem after rain.

has stopped raining at Edgbaston, but umpires are currently un-happy with some 'problem' areas.

Chopra made a bad decision to bat first and I'm sure Surrey will make them pay in what might become a 15-20 over game.

Amazing that it's still a 33 over game, let's hope there's no more rain.

Surrey going nowhere.

Astonishing batting especially from Laurie Evans, followed by some excellent bowling. Surrey were outclassed and quickly lost their way after Davies went even though they still had 9 wickets left.

After that massive win, one more from the last 2 games (away to Glamorgan and Nottinghamshire) should give the Bears a QF place!

2 more victories would surely guarantee hosting the match at Edgbaston

I was amazed when Chopra opted to bat with rain being so likely, still a good result for the Bears.

First time I have seen Trott bat since he ended his England career, looked in fine nick and interestingly I didn't notice his pre delivery routine at all.

more wickets for adil rashid, wonder how far away from the england side he is

we really lack someone to take wickets in the middle overs, wouldnt mind him being recalled as long as he is actually given a run in the side this time

still think he is going to be englands long term spinner in all forms, 26 is young for a leggie and hopefully he still has a lot of improving to do

id definitely pick him for the 7 ODIs in sri lanka and play him in all of them no matter how he bowls

got to be a joke in there somewhere with bopara going out to bat today with 2 left handed gloves

Brilliant 10 wicket win by Yorkshire against Derbyshire to seal a place in the knockout stages.

Could do with Hampshire beating Essex so Yorkshire can guarantee a Home Quarter-Final.

Needs them for when he plays the switch hit!

Sussex seem to have been done by Duckworth again, 50 overs reduced to 35 yet their total required is only 56 less than Kent's 299. I just can't see how this is fair.

30 overs at that rate would equal 112 yet the total required is 243, the remaining 5 overs leaving 131.

Kent scored at almost 6 an over, yet Sussex were to score at nearly 7? Madness
