Amid this congested and rushed bunch of fixtures, pretty good we managed a 3 day (two and a half day, really) win. Day off and relatively low workload for the bowlers.

Ironically by losing in three days and only bowling once, Glamorgan bowlers have had a similarly low workload. Somerset scored quickly so they only bowled 10 more overs than us and didn't bowl after day 2!

Somethings away here, those are the averages prior to the Hampshire game.

Yep, Yates' hundred not on there and his average will be over 40 now by my calcs

Follow on avoided!

Leicestershire lost a few late wickets so probably won't reach the follow on target now.

Fair weather tomorrow so will be a full day and decent batting weather but I've not watched any of the game so no idea what the wicket is like.

If OHD (and possibly Barnard instead) and Suthar can keep going until they're all out first innings, then Woakes and Bamber can come on fresh with the follow-on. I assume we would open with two quicks and then bring on Suthar early rather than open with him!

I would also stick them back in, IF we do get the last four wickets quickly then the bowlers won't have had many overs in their legs and presumably Suthar can hold an end for most the day.

What do I know! I will say that is poor batting, surely you get a big stride in rather than rock back

I haven't seen a team drop this many catches in an innings for a long time

Conditions look poor again tomorrow morning so the ideal situation would be bat the rest of the day out and be all out or declare just before close so we can exploit those conditions tomorrow

Michael Vaughan has had his say too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/ce87v9ljl8no

Both have 50 now. They've both struggled to convert them to tons this season (not just this season for Dan) so would be fantastic if at least one of them could

Yeah he would probably need a rest anyway in the run in so given the weather forecast it feels sensible to do it in this one.

And actually it's been more sunny than overcast during the Notts innings so far.

Not sure where this should go but has anyone watched the day 3 highlights on YouTube of the Sussex game?

They're going along as normal then form 136/3 they suddenly jump to the last ball of the match. Really bad look

I think it's highly unlikely that Davies will be dropped for Smith on Thursday (as much as I disagree with that) so would expect Kai to play in this one.

The forecast on the Met is better than it was yesterday. Had two rain dots for Thursday and one for Friday. Now it's just one for Thursday but even still, will have to be more improvement if any result is possible.

Somerset are away at Sussex and Hove has a slightly better forecast than here so they could steal a march on us/Notts.

And that has sparked a collapse again

Very few loose balls from Sussex in fairness since the collapse started (yes, can argue we got their tails up).

Weather looks decent on Sunday so could be the best day for batting. And with the tendency for this pitch to flatten out then it could be a very good toss to win. We do if course need to not be out the game by that point.

That is, for all intents and purposes, a duck for Davies. His only runs were four overthrows

Interesting that the three strands of under 30 memberships now include Birmingham Phoenix games
