Using my amazing powers of deduction , I would say the Windies have turned up .
Leading by 138 .
To reach the Windies score we have to get 169. My bet is that we are 3 down before we reach par.
Very good at county level. Scored well at Durham to get him the move to Surrey for this season, and I think is only being outscored across the country this season by his own teammate - and world class - Sangakkara. Also scored 100 in the one-day final earlier in the summer.
They have never lost a test after having a lead of 150 or more . First time for every thing ?
Vince has signed up to play for Cape Town alongside Gayle, in the new SA t20 franchise league. Not bad for James - playing at Newlands, alongside Gayle, with Kallis as your coach!
Rashid, Tom Curran, JP Duminy and Steyn have also been signed up by Cape Town, amongst others.

Geoffrey Boycott never changes...

I don't mind if Joe Root doesn't score many runs, as long as he's there at lunch tomorrow. He'll have a few by then if he can get there.

Right, reached par with 3 wickets down. I'm sure a genius suggested that. Bit of a looker as well...so I hear. 
Golden duck for Jennings, in his first championship match back playing for Durham.
If you include, I think, three innings in t20, then I believe that is four times in a row since being dropped by England that Jennings has failed to reach double figures - including two run-outs.

Essex lose a couple of early wickets to Somerset. Given that I can't decide whether to look up or down in the table, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing!
(The same applies, but the opposite way around, in the Lancs-Warks match)

Or not, as it turns out! The pitch is rapidly becoming a Bunsen burner, and Moeen will work his magic backed up by Anderson and Broad. All over by tea time!
