Surprise surprise, we're bowling.

Horrible, horrible run-out for Warks.

Cracking start guys. Always nice to have more wickets than runs conceded!

[st_brendy]

Don't leave that one, Bell!

Bonus point number one secured.

[Arthur Crabtree]

A very different batting experience for Sibley than at Surrey.

And now a run out! 5/3.

Well that's just deflated a good start. Wonder if we'll see Abbott again in the match?

[st_brendy]

Fidel has done Sibley three times already. He just can't quite find the edge (or the stumps).

Revenge for last week. We were 12-4 last innings, so now we have the opposition 12-4.

What's going on, a 20 run partnership.

No Abbott or Fidel bowling. Berg has bowled tight, but very unthreatening.

Any news on Abbott?

Any news on Abbott?

Nothing yet. But he really turned his ankle as he planted it on the crease, and was down for sometime. It didn't look nice. They've been regularly putting sawdust down ever since.

The one positive is that he walked off, he wasn't carried off.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Still from what you are saying, I can't see him bowling again in this match.

Probably got ligament damage, and the ankle will be swollen for a few days.

It's also a good thing if this is a case of the pitch being fairly easy to bat on after the new ball. We don't really want a 150 plays 120 type pitch, where we might end up losing with no/few batting points.
