Not done yet!

Still some work to do and at Hove! Ideally remove Overton!

Amusing bias off between the Yorkshire and Somerset commentator. Superficially polite but fair but of niggle.

Sounds like Somerset behaviour in the field left a lot to be desired!

I think the ECB want the footage so there will always be cams but perhaps without commentary.

I can imagine our commentators annoy other teams for hopelessness rather than bias - Britt, Farrell and Eakin’s breathing although he is knowledgable.

I like Durham and Yorkshire commentary teams.

This Essex bloke was beyond the pale but it looks like he was playing up this week because it was his last game. The cricket seemed an irrelevance to him a lot of the time!

Is the Somerset chap Anthony Gibson?
He is the son of Alan Gibson who was one of the finest writers and broadcasters on the game until alcohol intervened.

Yes that’s him even the mild mannered Kevin Howells had enough of his bias and started deliberately winding him up!

Notts would need to declare by lunch tomorrow wouldn’t they?

Somerset commentator (Anthony) v biased. Kevin Howells now deliberately winding him up!

Notts get final bonus point on last ball

Not sure rain helps as Yorkshire are making progress and there’s over a day yet!

I guess what will be will be. I just don’t like batsmen being disturbed and bowlers resting.

Hove sounds a different matter!

For once Mousley’s approach suits the situation!

Clipping leg stump my eye! More like hitting middle!

Need to wrap this up now. Still think we missed a trick not bowling this morning but we’ve tried v hard here and not had great luck!

This Essex old boy still unlistenable.

The cricket is spoiling his constant monologue!

Well we built a lead but I still think we might have missed a trick not bowling with the new ball at 1030.

Anything been said about Shane Snater? Is he out of the game?

Two Essex subs - westley and Snater out

Suspect we won’t but I wish we would declare now!

Id have a slog now and declare overnight

Even by the standards of county cricket commentators this Essex old boy is eccentric!

Makes their 8th wicket partner even more mystifying

Players seem comfortable off their legs but not outside off stump.

Goodness knows why Essex batted

Or Yorkshire either
