Bopara off to a decent start and the pitch seems very good, so he needs to kick on!
Cook double ton could be well on!

I'd always take being ahead with only 4 wickets down in the first innings but for some reason i feel deflated. Was hoping for a 200 + lead by the time we were bowled out but that looking less likely now.
Just hope we don't have one of those stupid games like last season when a side gets bowled out very cheaply on day 1 and still wins the match.
5 down now.
Cook out for 155.
Worcestershire having a great day against Warwickshire. 201 and 99-0.

Rightly or wrongly it counts as Taylor's 237 is his new highest score. Boosts his average up to 48.64, surely the best prospect in the country not to have played an international yet.
I know the opposition aint much but it might be worth keeping an eye on Thakor, not a bad debut for a 17 year old getting a ton.

Yes heard a lot of good things about Shiv Thakor, definitely one to monitor closely.

Hmm seems like another decent day for Lancs. About time Moore scored some runs.

Yeah, quite a few sides have had superb days. None more so than Yorkshire, though i suspect the day Worcestershire have had will mean the most to any set of fans in the country.

Yes outstanding day for Middlesex, backing up there comfortable victory against Essex in their opening game, by today running through a Derbyshire side including overseas debutant Usman Khawaja, for a well below par 154. Gareth Berg and Tim Murtagh the main destroyers with four wickets and three respectively. Middlesex's more experienced overseas campaigner, Chris Rogers, then consolidated their dominant position in the game making an unbeaten 66. Tim Groenewald and Tony Palladino have used the new ball effectively in the early stages of the season, Groenewald getting the only breakthrough today for Derby snaring Scott Newman.
Lancs unbroken opening partnership at the tail end of the day gave them the honours on day one at Liverpool as Somerset's shaky start continues. Are they already feeling the pressure as the pre-season favourites to finally capture the County Championship title ?
Surrey have their winter signing Zander de Bruyn to thank for a decent first day against Glamorgan. Thought he was an excellent signing for Surrey when they swooped for him, with the reliable Ramps out with injury, and it was surely inevitable Tom Maynard was going to be in the runs following his acrimonious split with today's opponents. He's 60 not out overnight and his and de Bruyn's partnership currently worth 122 runs.
As you guys have already alluded to, Yorkshire and Worcester in very favourable positions at the close of play today. Essex too have finally got some substantial runs on the board following a few woeful collapses of late, thanks to the 258 run partnership between Cook and Jaik Mickelburgh. Bopara got himself in and then got out to Chaminda Vaas, who along with Jack Brooks, a wholehearted performer I admire, looked to be the pick of the otherwise rather expensive Northants attack.
Think Durham will be disappointed to be bowled out for less than 300, though it's nice to see Monty Panesar chipping in with a four-for. From 173-1 they'd have surely been eyeing up a four huindred plus effort, but none of the batsmen went on to score big. Mitch Claydon dismissing Ed Joyce towards the end of play may have gone some way to cushioning the blow of their batting collapse.

I wish Scaly was still here, purely for the cataclysm of rage that would have been unleashed as a result of Panesar bowling out Durham.

Leaving aside your highly controversial half dozen words, AWTA.

Tony Palladino, Callum Thorp, Steve Kirby all with decent hauls early in the day and dragging their respective sides back into the game and in some cases, now into the driving seat.
Andrew Gale has strengthened Yorkshire's position against the Champions with an outstanding effort, still going on 140*.

Didn't think it was possible to beat Rory Hamilton-Brown as far as posh double barrels go.

After a good start against Sussex and a decent opening partnership against Somerset Lancashire's batting in danger of meeting my pre-season expectations

Sussex having a collapse of their own and are now 148/8. Wickets being mostly shared among the seamers, Thorp has 3, Mitch and Braithwaite have 2 and Blackie has the other.
It's very encouraging given that this is basically an entire second string seam attack bowling today.
