Must admit I like the look of the Division 1 table at the moment so I shall break the habit of a lifetime and express the hope that them from t'other side o' Pennines can do a number on Notts

You're not allowed to pre-emptively taint a potential victory. Unfair.

Rashid 8 overs, 3-9. Pitch must be turning some, seeing as Joe Root's come on to bowl when we're supposed to be attcking.

I see Vince has made some runs today, hadn't had a great start to the season, hopefully this will give him a kickstart.

Seems to be a lot more youngish England qualified players doing well this year

Nine, ten, jack impressively failed to be knocked over and the chance of forcing the win pretty much gone for Yorks now. Bugger bugger buggry.

Well that's better on the minefield that is Taunton, maybe Gemaal just needed time to adjust.

Will be interested to see how James Harris bowls in this match, after his great start to the season.

Tsotsobe looks like he's bowling at about 50%, really disappointing for the Essex fans, watching him roll his arm over at 75mph and bowling filth at the end.

The commentators were hoping to see Tsotsobe bowling mid-late 80's (mph), I don't think he's capable of bowling that quickly. Whenever I've seen him bowling for SA he is generally late 70's, early 80's, but he is some way from being a speedster. Still he does like he's not bowling at full pelt.

Yes, in the WC, he seemed to bowling faster, up at around 85/87mph, but when I've watched him in SA he's more of the 83mph bowler.

Would say 83mph full pelt, not on average over a spell, but maybe he's found an extra yard in the last few months if he was bowling that quick at the WC. I know it's been an issue in the past with SA, struggling to work out how such an impressive physical specimen is struggling to get it down the other end at enough pace.

Graham Napier delivered an outstanding hat-trick tonight against Glamorgan, first removing a set Gareth Rees, but it was his two follow-up deliveries that really impressed. Poor Jim Allenby and Stewart Walters stood little chance with Napier's 90mph in-ducking yorkers.

Then the heavens opened, and that was that!

That was the only over of his that I saw, but yeah, what an over! The second and third wickets really were exceptional yorkers. Always promising to see someone bowl at 90mph too!

Just did a thing for SSN on Reece Topley. Hadn't even heard of him till today. Is he any good?
From what I've seen of him and read, he's a similar bowler to what Finn was a few years ago, similar height and pace, he's got plenty of talent and a great future.

Yes he looks really promising - if I've got this right you can see him here

...... and to give myself a plug there'll be a feature about his old man going up on the front page tomorrow :)
