Abbott ripping through Warwickshire.

If Alsop is going to come in at 3 then why not open the batting?, he was virtually opening today anyway.

It's a bit much to be asking our wicket-keeper to also go out there and open the batting. To be honest, even selecting him up at 3 is a little unfair.

Great that we play them without Bell and Hain. They must get a huge proportion of their runs.

Not that I'd expect (and want) us to enforce us - why willingly choose to face Patel in the final innings of a match? - but this spell has opened up the possibility of Warks not reaching the FO target.

And no Olly Stone with the ball too (nor Sidebottom and Norwell).

Although Sibley remains on course for to make a century for the 6th consecutive FC match - if he doesn't run out of partners first.

W 184 - 7 COP

W 233 all out. No follow on!

Weatherley and Soames going along very nicely.

Weatherley and Soames going along very nicely.

Yes, a much better result although they both led charmed lives at the start but maybe that is the best way of them getting a substantial partnership, by playing their shots rather than defensively and getting out cheaply anyway.

Could be over a 400 lead by COP at this rate, be nice to have a little dart at them tonight.

Don't need a 400 lead, we should be looking to declare an hour or so before the close.

Try and watch the live stream if you can, Rilee's in with a licence to cause havoc!......

 

[tomw24]

Yep, Roussow is teeing off.

 

[tomw24]

Rilee's holed out. Shockingly.

 

[tomw24]

This is a nice warm up for the OD Cup final next weekend.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Come on Northeast, we have got plenty already, unless you're waiting for your 50.....

 

[tomw24]

Declare please!

 

[Saints_Alive]

Forecast is cloudy for tomorrow, this could be throwing away an opportunity.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Hooray, let's rip into them tonight!

 

[tomw24]

There we go.

Cloudy is good for bowling.
