And now for the big question...will Couglin make it to the end of play without getting injured?

[Durhamfootman]

feels unlikely

Is Ben Raine sporting a new shaved head look? I'll be getting him confused with Rushy if he is

Is there anything significant about Poynter batting up the order? Surely they're not considering him for the BWT side? But if he's not in contention why give him batting practice?

It can only be nepotism by the head coach. I say that in all seriousness-whether intentional or not only Franklin knows.

49 for Lees, 78 not for Jones. Dickson expected to bat at 4 and Poynter down as keeper again

148-1 against what looks like a strong Warks bowling unit

Jones lbw Briggs for 78

Unless the scorecard is incorrect Poynter keeping is another odd decision- unless Eckersley has an injury preventing him from keeping.

[captaincolly]

Just noticed that the scorecard has Lees as captain so chances are Poynter is incorrectly down as keeper.

102 retired out for capt Borthwick

good start

286-6. Normally 286 would be both our innings added together at this time of year

lets hope so

[captaincolly]

Young not available for the first game so Jones is presumably certain to open with Lees.
Borthwick couldn't have made a better start with the bat- a half century and a century both unbeaten - retired not out!

[Durhamfootman]

we've only taken 1 wicket all day up to now. the rest of the Warks batsmen retired
