Surrey should win and Sussex have a sniff. N'hants really down to the weather, but not called off.

Bizarre tactics from Gloucestershire. Got no close fielders in for catchers in with 4 wickets needed and hardly any runs to defend

there you go. No problem in the end

Last win was against us in the opening round last year, so doubtless it'll feel like a moment

Root having a decent runout for Yorks.

So how about a ton?

No sign of Johnny Blameless though.

IPL, maybe?

But doesn't show on the BBC averages.

Unlike Tristan Stubbs, who I'm now going to have to look up.
