There seemed to be a spell before we went off for rain where we looked like taking a wicket every ball.

False shots aside, there are too many 4 balls being bowled.
Helpful conditions & these are 1 down scoring at a reasonable rate.
That is as fortunate a knock from Haynes as you will see but why did it take so long to get Booth on with his extra yard of pace?
Neil Pratt gave Tom Clark out there LBW but turned down an almost identical shout on Tom Haines first ball this morning, Woakes the bowler. So inconsistent.
Agree about the four balls but on another day we could have had them seven down before the rain.
Frustrating. Every time we started to take wickets they went off. It’s supposed to disrupt the batting team!
We go again...
Tear, yesterday afternoon and this morning, looked like a walking wicket.
Great idea of mine to have another cup of tea and turn up half an hour late.
It’s a seamers paradise out there today, swing and variable bounce.
Never come to any conclusions till both teams have batted.
57 for 7 this morning, excellent work. Could so easily have been the case yesterday morning.
Tricky little session coming up now, its shaping and seaming just enough. Feel like its gets much easier after lunch perhaps.
Enjoyed this morning
Anyone know what time lunch is?
Are we losing capacity with the new stand? The seats don’t seem to go back very far.
Capacity staying the same, I believe.
The Radisson-inspired guff posted a few days ago said the development would restore the capacity to around 25,000 - but I thought it was that anyway. If you book a room in the hotel and invite 100 friends, that should take it over 25,000.
Dan Mousley does a load of hard graft against probing bowling then gets out like that.
It seems to be a bit of a habit.
That is, for all intents and purposes, a duck for Davies. His only runs were four overthrows
Is it a poor wicket, great bowling or poor batting?
Both sides have struggled somewhat today!!
Its nipping about and pretty overcast, bit of uneven from the City End. Ive never seen Sean Hunt bowl badly to be fair, he tails it into the left handers and slides it across the right handers.
Its probably not a 95/7 pitch but yeah it is doing a bit.
