Why was Kai Smith left out? Anyway a decent day overall. Well done Ed!

Didn't play v Essex either, his wicketkeeping is still a work in progress.
I was hoping with the way we batted in the first 30 minutes, that we might be able to get to 450 within the 110 overs but hey, this is superb compared to 179-6.
Well, what the hell do I know. Let me see now, "Oh no, I thought I was going to win the lottery tonight but alas...".
I thought we'd get to 400 but I gave us no chance of the 450 inside 110. Great batting.
Great knock from Michael Booth. He just smashed a six out of the ground off the last ball of the 110th over to gain maximum batting points! 453/8 with a ninth wicket partnership of 118, superb batting!
Woakes with an absolute pill to get rid of Haseeb Hameed.
We’ve bowled excellently in this evening session. Booth’s LBW shout on Clarke looked pretty good for what it’s worth and we’ve deserved more reward than the one wicket so far.
Woakes had a extremely close shout on Clarke prior to Tea too. Agreed, we've bowled well without luck here.
Thompson on Clarke then AGAIN, what is that not hitting?!
Top class from Woakes. All over Verreynne.
Come on, let's get Clarke out soon. 7 batsmen in this round of matches, have been out in the 90's.
Mikey!!!!!
Love to see what Booth’s clocking on the gun here. Been brilliant throughout the afternoon.
State of this umpiring lol
I am claiming the wicket of Clarke, the 8th to go in the 90's. I predicted it, I am the Soothsayer and King of the day.
Incredible! What a last half an hour that is. We’ve got such a balanced and multi-faceted seam attack to really hurt teams when we’re at it.
4-43 at the end there, lovely perseverance from our lads.
One more wicket in the morning for our full quota of bonus points.
Woakes was terrific, showed that if you can hold line and length you will get rewards, there is just enough in this pitch if you bowl well for sustained periods.
