Difference looking back is that we just didn't bat out our overs. The way we handled those last two partnerships was pretty poor when we had to get Booth back on strike to maximise scoring opportunities. They had an international batter shepherding their chase, though, and that's a pretty big difference. Fielding felt a big difference between the two sides too.

Completely gone off the boil these last 5 overs. Bowlers have gone away from what's been working and the fielding has dropped off entirely. Leicestershire favourites now.

Feels like a tight finish brewing here. This partnership feels very important.

Strong squad named. Dan Mousley released to play.

Yates (C), Ali, Bamber, Booth, Davies, Garton, Gilchrist, Hannon-Dalby, Jani, Lintott, Malik, Mousley, Smith, Taylor, Wylie.

And is in the squad for Leicestershire away!

Brilliant win over Glamorgan U18 this week with Eddie Miller taking 6-37 in the fourth innings to go with his second innings 86 opening the batting. Really encouraging performance.

Not selected in the hundred tonight, meaning he’ll be available for ODC selection on Friday.

Done a bit of digging but can’t seem to find it unfortunately.

Has been named in the squad for the roadshow match vs Warwickshire League XI tonight.

Supreme from Bobby Yates. He's so dismissive square of the wicket when he's in touch. Really pleased for him to get a first ton as skipper.

I think the club shop is trying to buy in to the Indian market, and in general the surge of “mystery cricket shirt” boxes. They’ve had BBL and CPL shirts in there I believe, and they tend to be there year round.

The shops been shit for years now and its a shame, its all about the online these days. Do you go many games? Its usually just all England and Hundred stuff, even some IPL stuff which is weird.

Judging by the pretty large and enthusiastic crowd today the game was very much "wanted" id have said.

Great win, Barnard MOTM, made it look incredibly easy. Garton run out moment of the match.

Was very surprised by the size of the crowd in the pavilion when I walked in for the second innings. Really encouraging to see a crowd of that size in a rare 50 over game at Edgbaston.

We were linked with John Simpson around a month back (I think by George Dobell)

If it were a choice of Simpson or Cox I’d be much more interested in Simpson as a red ball keeper with Smith taking white ball duties.

Pretty clinical performance in the end. Executed far better than Surrey in all facets.

Bloody hell George Garton.

We’ve got the platform to go very large here. Watching on stream the Birmingham End straight boundary looks tiny?

Is it still a realistic possibility to qualify? If we won 5 from here are we gonna go through? Not sure.

Full Squad:

Yates, Ali, Bamber, Barnard, Booth, Davies, Garlick, Garton, OHD, Jani, Lintott, Malik, Smith, Taylor, Wylie.

Barnard Yates Malik Davies Smith Jani Booth Lintott Ali OHD Bamber

is how I suspect they’ll go if Booth is ready to play.

Booth is back! And Barnard has been released to play! Things are looking up!

Another grievance I have, and it’s completely with a Warwickshire hat on, but Mousley’s looked in the best touch he has for a few years and it now disappears through a month without a game and he’ll return for our Championship run-in, title charge ready, with no cricket behind him, out of touch.

There is so little infrastructure behind the hundred to support these players who have careers and trophies to win outside of these six weeks yet aren’t getting picked. Winning the Championship would be the pinnacle for Mousley, I’m sure, and our chances actively diminish for each game he sits on a bench. Good enough for a payday, but will constantly struggle to be picked ahead of the top overseas. It’s sad.
