Not the greatest day at the cricket. Two one-sided games - but at least Brave won one of them. Women bowled superbly.

Horror drop from Overton - both in terms of how easy it was, and how many runs Brook went onto score.

Fingers crossed with Jordan will back soon. Another bad day for Fuller, and please never again give the ball to Du Plooy.

And now Green drops Jacks.

Somerset fielders making a habit of dropping easy catches off big players. Still can't get my head around the Overton one - his hands are usually like buckets.
 
Ovel again trying to throw away the win. Narine saved them from doing so last time, he might need to do it again here.
 
Benny seemingly back to his best with the ball, after an iffy-Blast (maybe due to a lack of sharpness following his injury).

On paper, Phoenix look way better than us (and maybe every other side). And that's even without Woakes (who would presumably replace Helm, if the ECB make him available). They have so many bowling options, whilst still maintaining good batting depth, that Moeen, Livingstone and Mousley only needed to bowl five balls combined. Whereas we gave 15 balls to David and Du Plooy!

That said, the partnership between Overton and Mir has given Manchester something decent to bowl at.
