It appears it bacame difficult to get the ball away after around14 /15 overs. But at least we got over the line.

Shame Garton didn't get a 2nd over early on after a pretty good opener.

No Paul it was not a joke. I just question why a cricket match that welcomes everyone should be celebrating a parade for a section of the community. Don't accuse me of any phobia, though. The Pride movement has achieve a lot in removing at least 90% of the prejudice that existed not so long ago. A gay couple who have been our friends for a number of years expressed their view they are against these pride marches etc. and were totally against all this rainbow stuff. I could go on to say why do we not have a heterosexual support celebration or a disabled persons support month?

Your second point - is this the date you joined the new unofficial forum?

Why the need to celebrate Pride Month?? Rainbow laces indeed!! Welcome to woke cricket!!

Why pick Moeen over Yates? As for Latham if it is felt he should play because he is the overseas (expensive) player then why not give him the gloves and have him bat lower down the order.

It’s painful to watch.

Is there a common denominator?

Like last night, take away the rogouge over (Sylvester;s 21) and it just might have been a bit different although I suppose the damage was done in our poor batting.

Just when you need some good tight bowling Sylvester goes for 21 in his first (and hopefully only) over!!

Well done Bosworth - getting them to drop Birmingham is a great start to where it should be.

As for the game now Hain has fallen will we use all 20 overs?

Trouble is most people in the country will wonder where the Bears come from!! Needs to go full circle and refer to Warwickshire Bears.

At least with the game being on Sky I am unable to watch the live stream

We were not as bad as some are saying - IMHO - to me it was those 2 overs to end the PP costing us over 50 runs that did it for us. We were playing catch-up after that. Given an average score in those overs could well have seen Notts needing another 25 runs at the end.

72 in the last 5 overs = tight bowling needed now

Welcome,Charlie

At 3pm yesterday I suggested we should declare with a lead over 250. At that point they could have thrown the bat at the ball and then declared at tea. With over 2 hours left yesterday the result could have been so different.

Restarting at 5.45 with 10.4 overs remaining. Another 4 day knife edge. Let's hope tha rain stays away.

Does anyone know if it has stopped raining in Worcester?

I thought Saturday evening batting was the right move - set it up for the following day and it worked. Problem was we should have declared when we got a 250 lead and definitely when we reached 300. lead. Thank goodness wickets fell otherwise I think we would still be batting now! 15- 20 extra overs at them yesterday could easily have meant the game was won this morning.

Totally agree,Paul. The weather plays a big part in the game of cricket so why ignore it?

Looking a bit black and the covers are on. I do hope not declaring last night is not going to bite us in the bum

I spoke too soon - play resuming on time !!
