Just as well for those umpires they're not playing at Derby - as it is, probably a popular decision.

Abell draws value from another Lord's yawn fest
Somerset skipper Tom Abell found solace in another Lord's yawn-fest with his first half-century of the Championship season but last season's top two are still without a win

Jon Culley at Nottinghamshire v Derbyshire 151-4

What was shaping up as a comfortable-ish win for Derbyshire in the gloom and the wind here suddenly looks rather less certain after Wayne Madsen suffered what is usually termed a rush of blood and needlessly gave away his wicket. Madsen’s assured 61 had brought the target down to 75 from 20.3 overs when he took a big swing at Samit Patel and sliced the ball horribly in the air towards deep point. Brett Hutton saw it coming and flung himself full length to take the catch inches off the ground. A good piece of bowling by Luke Wood had seen off a dangerous-looking Billy Godleman and Shiv Thakor had gloved one from Harry Gurney, both falling to catches snapped up by the ever-reliable Chris Read but Madsen’s departure is a real blow to Derbyshire. Alex Hughes has not looked as comfortable as their supporters would like and Gary Wilson needs to get into the groove quickly. Nonetheless, with 18 overs left and 65 to get it is there for the taking, provided the rain holds off.

Back on at CLS. Northants missing Duckett for sure, but maybe The One and Only could swing it for them?

BBC commentary describing Simpson's bowling as "filthy" and then the next ball as "Warne like turn" go figure...

by dave 6/5/2017 3:50:04 PM
Davies with SB. Could Abell get a confidence boosting ton - 18 overs to go

by dave 6/5/2017 3:49:01 PM
Tom Abell torn between knowing he won't get the opportunity to hit easier boundaries this season, and fully expecting himself to nick one behind and ruin his *

by Will 6/5/2017 3:48:46 PM
Compo only went for 2, keeping it tight. Gubbins on now, Simpson one over and out

by nickcricket 6/5/2017 3:46:05 PM

of course (and it is has taken me about 15 minutes to remember his name) Chris Schofield was the original, next Shane Warne, even down to the bleached blonde locks. Them were the days, when the entire future of English cricket was put on the shoulders of anyone who could bowl a bit of leg spin...
