County Cricket 2017 season

Early signs that Taunton is still as difficult to bat at as it was towards the end of last season. Not often you see four spinners picked across both teams in early April.

Then again, I don't overly rate either side, so it might just be ineptitude!

If the UK is anything like here then there has been long periods of dry weather which most early Aprils don't have so spin is doing better than the norm.

Looks like Yorks let Warks off the hook a bit at Edgbaston. But not as badly as Surrey to Lancs.

Chanderpaul gets his century!

Amazing that a side can get their second bowling point inside 37 overs, but fail to get the third point.

Heart break for Fletcher.

Thakor gets 2 quick wickets to check Northants progress.

Shiv out for 182.

Could still do a job in that windies middle order!

[DiligentDefence]

Northants collapse from 101/0 to 166/7.

The last time Chanderpaul played for a county it Warwickshire, oh how they could do with him now.

Could still do a job in that windies middle order!

That's obvious to everyone except the WI selectors....

[Arthur Crabtree]

No one going on to a ton for Yorks, but all except Lyth have made a start and Rashid and Willey are strengthening the lower order.

Rashid goes, should be bowling before lunch.

Another 50 for Cook, but Essex will need him to get to three figures if they're going to win this you feel.

[Durhamfootman]

I hope he does and they do

[Arthur Crabtree]

Two wickets for Willey including Trott. Should be a formality for Yorks, but after Hants, I'm still expecting the worst. It'll be nice to nip out Bell cheaply.

Warwickshire must have at least one record so far this season, as the county with the most DUCKS by their batsmen.
