Hope it's not Hameed...

I think Dawson lbw Overton

@DaveKnibb He will get a shock when they hand him a white kit and no keeping gloves

Amir and Porter with the Pink ball should be tasty.

First wicket bingo anyone? I am going Nick Compton. LBW to Mohammad Amir, they have got some cash at Essex don't they

Depressing

16 year old Hamidullah Qadri plays for Derbyshire. I am told he is the first player born in the 2000s to get a game in county cricket

Made you look

Eoin Morgan plays for Middlesex...wow

Other interesting bits form the carded teams, Joe Root is carded at three for Yorkshire. Bairstow at 6, Yorkshire are usually pretty accommodating of England I suggested England don't want Bairstow to bat higher this summer

I didn't think that'd affect it, I was just chucking in a wee jab. It was a spectacular debut by anybody's standards.

I see that Somerset are protecting their faltering young captain by dropping him to three. Also only the one spin option.

Yes, he was named in that squad pre-deubt and they won't knock the lads confidence by dropping him, he still scored two tons against Sri Lanka on a turners for the Lions he deserves his place. Jos isn't designated Wicketkeeper according to Cricinfo

guaranteed*

The forecast for Headingley is alright tomorrow, the rain is before play would start in a DN game. It is day three which is the real problem. No surprised Surrey wanted to bat as it is gurteened time not under lights plus if they bat all today and into tomorrow then Yorkshire will be left with a tricky decision on if Gary Ballance bats or not

Also Essex look chuffing terrifying. Cook at one end of the team list and Amir at the other.

Everyone wants to bat!

Amazing how much better Durham looks with Stokes in. And Wood, but mainly Stokes. Dat team balance.

I presume Somerset are still playing four spinners.
