What we think?

Hassan be fit?
Maxwell be available?
Woakes still be about?
Stirling still be with us?

Are we perhaps at a huge advantage here having been in 'T20 mode' a week longer than Leicestershire with the comp having only just started?

T20 time.

How do people see us lining up this year?

We've had some doings down at Southampton is recent times...

Any changes?

Poor weather forecast again?

12 man squad. The XI who beat Kent plus D. Briggs.

Poor weather forecast?

Bethell, stress fracture.

Has left his position as academy coach to take up the role of assistant coach at Worcestershire. This is a blow as I know he was well thought of at Edgbaston.

Has signed for the RLODC

Joins on loan

Tough one this...

Bit of a big game this all of a sudden, top half of the group has closed right up, Derby won again, Leicester might be sniffing an outside chance after beating Notts (the Yardstick apparently). If we lose tomorrow we will be under pressure.

Really great comp the Blast is. Don't let the smug stattos on social media tell you otherwise.

Will Rhodes added to the squad for tomorrow.

Hain brilliant again, just a shame we couldn't get him on strike more.

We've sometimes struggled on this ground in recent times...

Same team?

Same side?

Yorkshire away.

Can do a bit up there if the clouds are in...

Harry Brook is scoring loads. Assume Root be playing again?

Any changes? Norwell in?

Need to win here if we're gonna challenge...

Robbo confirmed no Woakes for this game.

Sounded more positive on Norwell.

No word on Lamb.

Moving on swiftly from the Taunton debacle...

Lancashire away. Any changes? Norwell back?

Anderson due a rest surely...

Playing v Glamorgan right now...

1st game of the season starting Thursday.

Any ideas on the XI?

Do we have any injuries?

Weather?

Surrey might be strong, Pope, Foakes, Burns, all have a point to prove. Roach is a terrific signing.

Overseas.

11 FC matches across his career. He's 28.

No, I don't know either...

Traditional curtain raiser for the English first class season. In recent times has been played in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Barbados.

What's happening with this this time around?
