And among the wickets. I'm pleased to see Dan Moriarty doing likewise. It's hard to criticise Surrey's approach after winning the last two CCs, but I always rated Moriarty and was sorry to see him leave.

Bit of a crap shoot that match between Essex and Somerset. Could have gone either way, but looks like Somerset took a bit more of an aggressive approach in the 2nd dig to try and negate or overcome the pitch and got the job done. Fair play.

Watch out for the Tom Bruce rescue knock

Would like to see a Lancs win and also want to watch Zak bat so this is optimal
Rob Key on to the Somerset groundsman and probably asking the ECB to give them a 50 point penalty for a poor pitch.

Batted pretty well all day, a couple of the 50s really should have been converted though. Bit of rain is forecast tomorrow so I am starting to lean towards a draw

Moooo
Wouldn’t surprise me. However while two day finishes like this are not ideal, they are better in my book than some of the bore draws that we saw in the early rounds.
Rain predicted to arrive around lunch - Kent just need to crack on with it in the morning.

Yeah Lancs really needed to bat about another 45 mins I think.

They never actually say how they will do it in the media. Almost like afraid of the fans backlash.
If Root/Mitchell came out and said we want to play this many CC,Blast and One Day Cup games as much as I disagree with them I'd least respect them giving a proper opinion.
This is just pointless pathetic soundbites. Offer an alternative or shut up and play cricket.
There are 183 days between 1st April and 30th September. The county championship programme takes 56 days maximum. The one day cup takes 11 days maximum. There is not too much cricket.
Addendum: I was being somewhat facetious above however, while I in no way favour the sell off of hundred franchises, if the money the counties recover from it could be held in a form of trust and paid out annually to supplement the ECB distribution then it would enable a reduction of the Blast programme which is indeed too long and the chief cause of complaint in the PCA article.

Joe Root plays so much domestic cricket so he would know obviously.
