With the Durham v Leicestershire match being a no result,it is clearer than ever that a win on Friday will get the Bears into the quarter finals.

I’m trying to figure out what the best result is for us in the Worcs v Notts game today. If Worcs win they’d go level on points with us and could go above us if they win by enough, but have no games left. That would leave Notts a win behind us still with a much worse NRR. If Notts win, they’d be level on points with us with a worse NRR, but one game still to go. I think either way it leaves us needing a win to guarantee we go through!

(Unfortunately, given my 'love' for our southern neighbours), I think I'd have to go with a close win by Worcester, but not enough to overtake us on NRR.

I was just watching on the feed. A caller said if Worcs get just over 200 (which they just did) and Notts lose with 160 in reply, then that's enough for Worcs to overtake us on NRR with their games played out. Some great hitting by Brookes to get them there.
Terrific knock from Ethan Brookes
Think Worcs will squeak past us, so a win tomorrow is now definitely necessary.
Feed commentator says 0.07 behind us.... Basically can't afford to lose against Derby now whereas before today it was theoretically possible to go through with a defeat.

Looks like 0.09 difference according to the ECB and BBC websites. Cricinfo has Worcs above us, but their table doesn’t have NRR. Their coverage of county cricket has been going downhill for years, so poor.

More than half of Worcester's runs were scored by (recent) ex-Bears - 117 out of 206! Oh and 3 wickets for Brookes & 2 catches for Hose. We've got wise management haven't we?!

For some reason Sam Hain is not included in the side.
That's a blow to be without Hain. Yates will probably bat at 6, and hopefully Lintott will produce a decent bowling performance tonight.
Yates & Lintott in (for Hain & Miles), after our great 2nds T20 Trophy win. I guess Hain must have an injury.
Davies
Latham
Mousley
Bethell
Barnard
Yates
Garton
Briggs
Hasan Ali
Lintott
Gleeson
We won the toss and chose to bat first.

No Hain to bail us out from the 3rd over!!
3 off the first over
Latham has 1 run from 4 balls
I can feel a ridiculous Davies wicket coming
Can't get the live stream again
Two spinners opening the bowling suggests that it might not be the best batting pitch.
2 nice cricket shots from Latham in that over tbf, need to move the scoreboard on now
The comentators have said it is a very used wicket.
THe camera work and vision mixing on the Derbyshire live stream isn't the best.
