I think Australia 3-1 with one test drawn due to weather.

I’d like to think England could do well but with so many bowlers injured it could be a struggle for them. The batsmen can blow hot or cold, I think a lot will rest on the form of Joe Root and if he can hold it together whilst the fireworks go off all around him.

It’s strange to think how dominant we seemed in the first four matches and now we are so abject.

If England continue to ignore Sam I wonder how long until the franchise’s start sniffing around? He is some player!

Well this is pretty poor going.

I don’t know why but i have always struggled to take to Moeen, I guess it’s similar to what some people felt for David Gower (a bit before my time). A talented player who makes it look so easy when it works, but gets out in infuriating ways.

Good luck to him for England this, I hope it works out for him. He was definitely messed around by Root and I understood why he retired when he did. It does unfortunately really show the country’s dearth of quality with spin bowling though.

I wasn’t too fussed about him coming across for the T20 campaign and not paying anny attention to any franchise cricket I don’t know what his record was elsewhere. It seemed more of a marketing signing than a cricketing one.

Don’t be silly, Woakes is far too important as the waterboy for England!

Hain seemed in discomfort after a making a dive for a quick two runs. Fingers crossed it’s not too serious.

We did score 200+ today though. Although I didn’t think we would and we left it too late to attack. Hain was sublime and without him we would be in a mess.

For me today the difference was one of their ‘big’ players scored big. Hales failed but Munro delivered. Both of ours, Ali and Maxwell simply didn’t deliver.

Having done absolutely no research at all I think Maxwell is coming in too high, I don’t know where he has played in other competitions but I always thought of him as a number 5.

I’d drop Benjamin, who hasn’t really contributed any significant runs, bring Yates back in at the top and move Ali to 3, Sam at 4 and Maxwell 5.

Nice to see former bear Mark Adair doing well for Ireland this morning against England. Another young player who didn’t really progress at the club after making his debut.

With a game tomorrow it’s hard to have the time to learn the weaknesses, it will be a case of just going again.

I’m going tomorrow so I hope it’s a more competitive match….Notts also lost today so both teams will be wanting to prove a point.

I would say that Benjamin might be a player who is vulnerable if they want to bring Yates back in.

Oh dear, give Davies back the captaincy…..

It could be the change in bowling coach? Pop is renowned for getting the best out of bowlers, since he left certain bowlers have struggled.

It’s certainly been the round of matches for batting collapses. 5 wickets for less than 50 runs, undoing the good work from this morning. Conditions have changed and the sun is no longer shining but it’s still disappointing.

Sorry...I put the mockers on Sam. I'll remain silent until the end of the match.

A very satisfactory morning session. Got to be happy that the England selectors don't seem to be a fan of Sam Hain as he is so vital to the club!

Four wickets in four overs for one run. Quite a debut so far! Let’s hope he can continue, good for us and Derbyshire.

The openers did alright for the first two matches though Highveld, it almost feels like you have been waiting for them to fail. I’m certainly not in the pro Davies camp but after a couple of good scores I’m willing to give him a chance to show some kind of positive consistency. Yates had a lot to prove after struggling so much last season but has already shown some good form.

I’ve not been following and have just seen the score though so it is of course disappointing. Let’s see what how we do with the ball in our hands.

Although getting out after reaching a hundred is preferable to getting out after getting one like last year.

A good innings, let’s hope it continues throughout the year because if he can get back some of what he had two years ago then we will be in a much stronger position this season than last.

Two quick wickets down, need to consolidate.
