UPDATE: Match start delayed (No play before Tea, rain), Derbyshire 2/0 (2 ov, lead by 53 - 2nd inns) v Glamorgan -

@SamInglis He gets is weight forward more when he is batting well, had a bit of trouble with the full ball after the short ball but that was more mental than technique. The odd thing about his second stint in the side is that generally of the years he has been a good player of spin but by the end he was so out of from would probably have got out to medium pace full tosses if that is all that was bowled at him.

Paul Edwards at Essex 161-0 v Middlesex
Looking considerably safer than the Bank of England, Alastair Cook has just reached his century (his third in ten Championship innings this year) off 135 balls and with 17 fours, six of them hit this morning when he has shown no ill-effects from being whacked in the jaw during morning catching practice. Just as importantly, Essex have made good progress in the pre-scone session and looks like a long day and evening for Middlesex. -

George Dobell at Warwickshire (284-7) v Lancashire (273)
Good afternoon from Edgbaston, where Umeed and Patel, who has just reached his half-century, have added 100 for the eighth-wicket and we appear to be in the stage of the innings where the ball has stopped swinging. The pair have also earned Warwickshire a slender first innings lead. It’s overcast here and rain is a threat, but we might just escape it. -

Then you have got the batting purists, they are going to study the technique of each player and then comment excessively on any player outside of the deemed correct tekkers. Establish players are immune to this on a count of how they are the exception that proves the rule.

England to carefully manage all the different Twitter stakeholder groups the specialist Keeper mob, they love a good dropped catch lets them remember better days when Keepers went though whole careers without missing anything despite seemingly pulling off high risk feats of acrobatics in nearly very game.

UPDATE: Match start delayed (No play before Tea, rain), Yorkshire 27/1 (10.5 ov, trail by 489 - 1st inns) v Surrey

Depending on how fit all the bowlers are Stokes, Wood, Broad and Anderson is quite a risky bowling lineup. Think England will try and back to guys who have been in and around the team before. TRJ was in a squad last summer could see them calling Finn again because the prospect of him in full flow like against SA in 2016 is so tantalising

@dezdezzy Reckon Jimmy will play, Broad wants to play in the Lords final to prove his fitness. I like Jake Ball but he wasn't in many people team for the first test so isn't much of a miss. There is also the situation with Ben Stokes, how much will he be a available to bowl if it isn't much then it adds to the risk of going in with a few question marks hanging over Broad. Would expect to see Wood back in at some stage which isn't a new cap although it feels a little like one. Would like to see TRJ as well but that will depend on if the first choice guys are fit or not
