@Haystack_Jnr Yes they do, obviously there isn't usually this much riding on it. The game went 4 days and scores a consistent with other grounds. It was hard for Middlesex to bat last on the pitch but they learned the same lesson that England always do that on spinning pitches you must get your runs in the first innings -

Jon Culley at Warwickshire v Hampshire 59-1News of the result at Taunton reached here at around 12.20 and on the face of it you might say Hampshire have a chance, needing 200 more with nine wickets still in hand. Tom Alsop and Sean Ervine have benefitted from some pretty wayward seam bowling from Chris Wright and Olly Hannon-Dalby but now that Jeetan Patel has been tossed the ball it looks a much taller order. The off-spinner had big appeals against Alsop turned down off consecutive balls in his first over, for caught slip and caught behind, but in each case the ball had beaten everything. -

George Dobell at Somerset v Middlesex (113).
Somerset have beaten Middlesex and will play in Division One next season. Which means Marcus Trescothick can still win the Championship before he retires. Middlesex need Warwickshire to win. And, this season, that’s not a great place to be. -

Also does anyone else think The Sun (and others) are structuring their articles lopsidedly with the intention to victimise Stokes. I'm not defending him, just that he's innocent until proven guilty. The footage was ugly but he obviously claims he did it to defend someone. -
