County Cricket 2017 season

I see they had a toss but Gloucestershire won and decided to field.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Fifty for the last wicket for Somerset, but not a bad day's work for Yorkshire so far.

[Durhamfootman]

*points deduction alert*

There must be something seriously wrong with it. 17 wickets before tea on day 1!

18 wickets down and still 24 overs left in the day, so it's looking good for starting the 3d innings on day 1.

even Somerset haven't managed that yet, so doubtless their groundsman will be on the road to Cheltenham to see how the pitch at Taunton can be improved still further

[Durhamfootman]

Noema-Barnett having a go. He clearly feels that if he can get the first innings lead up to 30 or 35, Gloucs may not need to bat again

Can't have happened very often!

[Durhamfootman]

according to crapinfo, Gloucs hit one Hogan delivery for 5. Unless this is an error, and it was 5 wides or something, an all run 5 can't happen very often

how does overthrows work? can you run 1 and pick up an additional 4 overthrows? I don't think so, but then I am very dim

Yep. Think it happened when we played Sussex-chose not to bowl and elected to have the toss, Sussex won it but decided to bowl! Must be very unusual though.

3rd innings about to get underway!

[DiligentDefence]

Northants attack is a bit of a worry today. Only 3 seamers and Crook and Buck are not exactly reliable.

I was rightly worried. Kent 361/1!!!

[Arthur Crabtree]

can you run 1 and pick up an additional 4 overthrows?

Yes. Or the ball can hit a disembodied hat/helmet =5.

Yes. In theory it could equally have been 2 and then 3 run overthrows, or 3 and then 2 run overthrows. But yes, a single and 4 overthrows is most likely.

We picked up three 5s in one innings earlier this year, but that was due to the ball hitting the helmet by the keeper all three times.

They are penalty runs though- not credited to the batsman nor debited against the bowler, I think.

Indeed.

Glamorgan moving themselves into a position where they can declare.
