Gunna be hot

T20 averages before the game

Express & Star reporting that Garton will be available to play as a batter.

It's unlikely he'd average less than one of our specialist batsmen, who should be ashamed of his 3.25 average for the competition.

No Ethan Brookes for Worcestershire, broken thumb.

ahh bugger thats a shame for Ethan, he got picked up for the 100 this year and I was hoping it would be his break-out year as an entry into franchise cricket, not sure if he'll be fit in time for the 100 with that

good for us, mind.

We’ve lost the toss and bat

Yates
Malik
Mousley
Hain
Webster
Barnard*
Smith+
Thompson
Woakes
Gleeson
Tariq

Dropped Davies? Never thought they would...

Think he got dropped v Notts and only played v Somerset due to Hain being absent.

Zen 99 :( thats broke my heart.

But a brilliant knock, so exciting to watch

Making a real mess of this

Highest 2nd wicket partnership for the Bears.

This is totally an influenced view as I missed all the good stuff. But ... I started watching at 177 for 1 and from then they lost 9 wickets for under 50 runs in over five overs and the last man wasn't dressed. It was pretty unprofessional. We might win this easily but if you wanted to provide a platform for Worcester to come back strongly, that would be it.

Could do with a big win to help the net run rate

Right from when Zen got going you just felt there was only one winner tonight.
