Important events
Rain Arrived in Taunton, just as Somerset haste. While in Ovaal, Surrey, the Scurrying Ollie Pope has lost to be replaced by the bombastic Dan Lawrence – Warwickshire wants him not to keep an eye on.
Is it a verb again? Anyway, they are eliminated at Lord’s, they are on in Chelmsford, and there is a pitch inspection on Wantage Road where Asa Tribe made his Maiden 200 -and his hand even further lifted for the Lions trip.
He thought about it last night:
“It feels like I can’t do much wrong at the moment and I am really happy with the way it goes. I have to concentrate on my game and keep performing for Glorgan organ, it’s good to be in the position I am currently and I really enjoy it.”
Dom Sibley has retired at the oval, Ben Foakes now accompanies Ollie Pope.
And Ben Green enjoys Taunton – presumably with orders to break it. Somerset goes to the 420S.
No red-ball change of heart For Adil Rashid for the ashes. Unfortunately.
In Taunton, Ben Green Notes that he again hits Somerset before his permanent move to Grace Road, that his temporary home has been for a large part of this season.
More rain
Delayed start too At Grace Road and Chelmsford.
Weather watch and delayed start
Fidgety. Delayed starts In Northampton, Hove and probably more.
The office for the office predicts: “Tires of rain or showers, which sometimes get heavy and thunder, will go to the northeast all day long.
“My form has been terrible”
Tom Abell on his relief On that fantastic hundred yesterday.
“My form has been absolutely terrible until the last few games. I had a shortage of runs earlier in the summer, but now I have the feeling that I have found a rhythm and more clarity for my batting, which means that I can fulfill my role in the middle order.”
Ryan Campbell from Durham Determines the scene in Chelmsford:
“There will be a fight, that’s for sure. We will have to fight for every run. We know they have a good spinner to bow the last day. But it comes again, depending on who you listen to or at which weather app you look. But we will ignore it and come out with a great attitude and try to bowl.
“We know it is a huge game. We have a huge three games. We play three teams around us and we want to win every game. It’s all for picking up. These two days will have a great influence on the rest of our year.”
Tuesday’s round-up
A round of closely matched first collection games bubbled intriguingly throughout the country. In the oval, Surrey their tendons oiled and started to pull away from WarwickshireAfter Rory Burns (Idiosyncratic), Domsy (steadily) and Ollie Pope collected (nicely worthy) each half a century. Warwickshire had previously been in a two-run first-innings lead, but just a starting point, thanks to fifty from Ed Barnard and some lusty strokes of Nathan Gilchrist. There were three wickets for the Rapid Gus Atkinson and four for Tom Lawes.
NottinghamshireThe round started only nine points behind Surrey, stay on their tail after Josh Tongue had ruined WorcestershireIn the afternoon. The intimidating spell of the tongue of nine overs, three to 24, pulled out the top three of Worcestershire and Lyndon James removed NRS 4 and 5 to leave them 93 for five and with a lead of only 68. It was clamped for Worcestershire after Tom Taylor’s four Wickets had previously kept nuts in control.
In Taunton, where rain spent again, Tom Abell wore SomersetThe innings with a major five hour 130 at a pitch that is likely to run. He was finally out to an off-balance slog-sweep to mid-wicket from his former teammate and now Yorkshire Spinner Dom Bess. Abell and Lewis Goldsworthy (65) had kept the burning burning after James Rew was captured in the first day.
A five and a half hour century from Dean Elgar and a Smash-and-Grab 97 from Matt Critchley took Essex to ticking distance from Durham In the relegation fight in Chelmsford.
Shan Masood enjoyed his first innings championship for Leicestershirehis fourth county, does not move to a scanless 80 Gloucestershire On Grace Road. He set up 152 with Lewis Hill (88), to the delight of the looking fans, including a tubby and hungry, golden retriever.
MiddlesexLeus du Plooy hit a hundred against his old province Derbyshire In a tight game at Lord’s; while Lancashire nine runs crawled from HasThe first innings, largely thanks to 64 from Tom Hartley. There were four wickets for Matt Parkinson and an inspired Matt Quinn. Saif Zaib, the most important scorer of division two, beat half a century Northamptonshire, this time against Glamorwhile Sussex Continued their poor form of shape, out for 122 by Hampshire.
