    Suits Hants just fine. :)

    Mind you forecast isn't great for London either. Friday looks dry but tomorrow is a case how's your luck with the showers.

    What’s worse is that Gloucester & Leicestershire have a week off, and we both need to make up some ground on them.

    Unfortunately for Kent it's dry at Hove because now they have to face Archer in overcast conditions. <yikes>

    The only good news for Kent is that I would assume he's on quite a short leash. Can't see England wanting him bowling more than 4 or 5 over spells given his elbow issues.

    Covers are coming off at Lords. I'm assuming then, we could be starting straight after lunch. Fingers crossed.

    Not surprised, it's hammering down here, which is about 40 miles from Taunton.

    Now please Vincey, call correctly. I would not want to face Abbas, Abbott and Barker in these conditions.

    We'll probably win the toss and elect to bat...

    No chance of that! It's an absolute no brainer for either captain this one.

    Hampshire win the toss and elect to field. Those words have never looked so good. :)

    Middlesex could be in for a very uncomfortable couple of hours.

    This is incredibly close to must-win already for Middlesex. If they don't, they'd surely have to win all four of their remaining matches to have a shout - and not only is not very unlikely, but it might not even be enough.

    It'll therefore be very interesting how Middlesex go about this game.
