I'd love to watch a game at Colwyn bay, on a sunny day it must be a great place to be.

Hopefully Essex have the decency to persist with Tom Craddock, who is the real deal when it comes to spin bowling.

They seem to prefer Phillips, anyway, Brad Taylors better than Craddock.

any concrete evidence about that statement Powelly, not just your hampshire bias...?

Not many spin bowlers say they have taken 5 wickets in an innings against England, but Tom Craddock can!

Pretty good watching the game on the grass banks at the bowlers end, but also a place you want to avoid like the plague should it lash it down.

I love out grounds and they don't come much more far out than Colwyn bay, how far must it be from the nearest Glamorgan border?

It's lashing down at the TDF today and they've got pavé to ride on today.

Durhamshire 119-5 at Headingley. Sky should race up the M1 with their cameras to cover this instead of the yawnathon at Trent Bridge.

Nick Compton out for 94

Can the admirable Collingwood stave off the follow on?

Tom Craddock is a very promising young leggie..i really wish we would play him more, instead of the useless Tim Phillips!!

Had scoreboard tabs in the background of both Eng-Ind and Yorks-Dham games this afternooon, paid more interest to the latter.

Kieswetter retired hurt after being hit in the face from a David Willey short ball.

Saw the replay and it looks like Willey went back to his mark, whilst everyone else panicked, not good to see.

Trescothick heading for another hundred. Why isn't Peters playing for Northants?

He's injured. Northants on course to concede 400 again.

Kieswetter has a suspected broken nose.

Sounds as if Kieswetter might be out for a while, if so it's a big blow ( no pun intended!) to Somerset's title hopes. Let's hope he is back before long.
@57deacon: Craig K suffered serious but non career threatening injuries today. He's in good hands. SCCC will make an announcement shortly.

It was the way Willey just walked off, reminded me of Harmison in the 2005 Ashes.

Think he's a hothead ( can't imagine where he gets that from! ) am sure he got into an argument with Borthwick earlier in the season and got out trying to hit him for 6 when Northants were battling to save the game.
Harmison says that his reaction after hitting Ponting is something he regrets, I believe that because he was never a nasty character.
