Middlesex 90/4 at tea...all 4 to Brooks...intriguing game.

Hadn't realised that Finch was playing four day cricket for Yorkshire as well.

Only whilst Williamson is playing against WI.

I was at the County Ground today for 5 hours and frankly the batting was abysmal. 17 wickets fell, I saw 15 of them and the majority had a large element of batsman error. Gale and Rashid played two of the worst shots I have seen. Bresnan left a straight one. Peters played a bizarre shot. Newton had his head in the air. The Northants bowlers generally bowled well, apart from some legside rubbish from Chambers. Brooks' first two overs were poor but when he changed ends he bowled well. Bresnan was initially unthreatening but improved. Pattinson was unthreatening but tidy. Plunkett bowled dross. The real difference was the fielding. Northants missed nothing, Yorkshire dropped 2. It was a bowlers day, there was some movement and a little bit of inconsistent bounce but 17 wickets in a day was ridiculous.

Amla ISN'T playing for Surrey

Northants get a batting bonus point.

Duckett reaches his half-century, the third of his fledgling career.

[DiligentDefence]

Duckett out attempting a reverse sweep off Rashid's first ball of the match. Brainless.
