Could be a 'Kane' pitch for test 2

The Drear Oval?

[Durhamfootman]

ooh, that feels like a stretch

[Durhamfootman]

Hampshire got a 'good' new ball. Last 4 wickets in under 3 overs

Shine it up a bit and keep that ball for England next week, when they ask for a new ball 'because this one doesn't work'

[Arthur Crabtree]

Best I can do, sadly.

Last five wickets for 31, so good recovery from foot of the table Hampshire.

Zak Crawley opted to sit out kent's next two red ball games

Zak Crawley opted to sit out kent's next two red ball games

Have to add that into my thesaurus. "Opt to sit out" is a synonym of "dropped because can't buy a run all year and has a horrible record anyway"....

Good to see Liam Livingstone returning to lancashires red ball side

[Arthur Crabtree]

Unexpectedly good start with the bat from Yorks, against Warks who I think usually win these fixtures.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bashir getting a run out for Derbys v Durham. Does this mean he's not in the Test next week?

Except Rehan is also playing, for Leics v Essex.

Jordan Cox with a 100... banging on that door

Guessing its a shootout between the two.

Rehan just came on to bowl now. Bashir currently into his 9th over 0/22.

[Arthur Crabtree]

On wickets so far, Rehan is 1-0 up.

J.Rew makes 10.

On wickets so far, Rehan is 1-0 up.

But Livingstone has a 4-fer.
