    C'mon Kev tell Topley that it's TOBY Albert not Tony.

    He's easily the cricket commentator who I dislike the most. My heart always sinks when we play Essex and I hear him on the mic.

    Excellent final two overs. Until then, we'd just stagnated slightly and were at risk of a slightly disappointing score. But I'm very happy with 220.

    Excellent 100. But he was stone-dead LBW to Dawson on 55.

    Not sure I've seen so many full tosses in one innings before.

    We served up more pies than Plesteds, great knock though.

    As @woolstonian said, brainless bowling. Yes brilliant batting by Cox but boy oh boy apart Daw’s the bowling was childlike.

    Our NRR takes a small drop, from +1.071 to +0.961. But it shouldn't be anything to be worry.

    To put into context the task ahead of Kent tomorrow, if they were to bat first, I think they would need to win by more than 300 runs to catch us. (If I've done the maths right!)

    Lancs' win tonight puts them in a good position to win the North group. In theory they could yet finish 2nd, but more likely is that the winner of Durham v Northants tomorrow will finish 2nd.

    If we do indeed finish 3rd, then out of those three teams I think I would most prefer to play Durham.
