Well batted Garton, his first 100 in pro cricket.

Ton with power/time to add. Remarkable knock
Sam Hain not replacing Bethell - it’s Joe Weatherley.
Makes it all even more curious.
Bugger that'll cost us
you know what? Fair bloody play George Garton. Still going to be difficult to defend here, but we’ve got a chance.
Hey George any chance you can have a bowl too!?
282 all out with 2 balls remaining.
Probably 150 more than I thought we’d get.
Props to Garton and Bamber.
I watched about a dozen balls towards the end of the innings. Still couldn't really see how the pitch was playing but I did see Garton hit a six, his third, then collapse on the floor, not sure with what but could have been his back. Was moving about a bit awkwardly afterwards. Might just have been cramp I suppose. As others have said, with his first pro century maybe not used to batting for so long. Fair play to both him and Bamber.

Could just be that he’s not 100% fit after injuring himself in the last game so they didn’t want to risk him playing and making it a lot worse?
Wow, 2 wickets in 2 overs for Jake. I SO want him to prove Management wrong, in not giving him enough 1st team chances (especially in red ball).

Kerrigan implied it was a back problem that is preventing (will prevent?) him from bowling. I hope it can be sorted, even if it only allows limited bowling use, though he certainly seems to be making his mark as a specialist batsman - 2 (very quick) tons in 3 innings.

Similar story to the Northants game, this. Behind the game and just not able to strangle the game enough to create the pressure required to stifle.
Another 30 or 40 would have been a good game.
Torpedoed ourselves the moment we put the teamsheet in.
