Back to cricket!
Very pleased to see that Ed Barnard will be captain today, hopefully a much needed permanant change, that will improve the team spirit, development and performance.

We wont have long to wait to find out but Davies or Barnard to open with Yates? Cricinfo card has Davies....
Not a great start!! To say the least
12-4! Has anyone told them we are supposed to bat for 50 overs?!! As Yorks elected to field it can't be a good batting track.
Whats our lowest 50 over score ever?
That ball to Kai did seem to get up higher than he expected, a bit unlucky.
"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside..", who is Ben Cliff, well we know about him now. Glad I don't go to too many away games.
Is anyone watching this there, or online?! I'm guessing (hoping) there are a few Gremlins in the pitch?!
I watched the first four overs and it wasn't a terrible pitch but it did have some variable bounce on a good length. What Cliff and White did well though wad to extract everything possible out of it at good zip. I think we just say it's one of those things.

59 is our lowest total, also against Yorkshire at Headingley in 2001.
There seems to be extra bounce. Booth copped one on the hand and another on the body in the same over.
Movement and bounce in the pitch but.....
At least Jani is getting some praise from the commentators, one of whom compared his on-drive to that of Virat Kohli.
It was bad enough this time yesterday with India winning and 24 hours later here we are... What's a good score and how far away are we from getting one.
If Jani can keep going and Bamber & OHD can hang on in there for a while, maybe we can get to 150 and at least have something to bowl at.
Can't understand why Lintott batted ahead of Booth & Bamber.
Think 150 is a bit optimistic. Lintott has opened for the seconds the last few games, obviously in preparation for more batting responsibilities for the firsts.

I think that Chris Woakes batting left handed with his arm in a sling could do better than some of the Bears batters today.
Not great this. Interesting that 8 of the starting line up played in the last Championship game so hardly a weakened side.
Well played young Jani, that is a brilliant 50 in the circumstances
And well played OHD, doing his best Jack Leach impersonation!

It’s Jack Leach that impersonates OH-D.
