Northants won toss and batting

And not making a very good job of it: 47/5

Here’s the link to the highlights as requested yesterday.

Good to see Brookes living up to the ore season billing as a potential ‘Woakes’ replacement!

Nearly lunch 118 for 7

Good partnership for Northants here!

Game on

58-3

Wickets are tumbling....

 

[Covstu]

100-4 not great

132-6 bell out to a poor shot

Boyd rankin has just made his second debut in test cricket and this time has managed a wicket

Rankin was a frustrating player (injuries aside) always so close to really exploding into a really top class fast bowler.

 

[tisza]

Also about time Woakes came home. Sitting on his backside doing nothing leading into a Test series isn't helping anyone (except Pakistan). Hasn't played for nearly a month - probably rules him out of Pakistan tests.

Plays that late cut so well usually.

7 down now, to have Northants 52-6 and end up being 50+ runs behind is disappointing

It’s helping Woakes bank balance but I hadn’t realised he wasn’t getting a game as I can’t watch the ipl as I hate it

It was catching practice

nope don't watch myself either.
Read an article last week he hadn't had a game for ages (also that he's getting around 800k for being there!!)

I’d go and sit on my arse in India for that,

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Woakes played about 4 at the start wasn’t doing much going for 10 an over and was dropped for Plunkett

They could really do with more than one camera on the live stream.

Better than nothing though, I guess it saves having an editing team etc.


Bears lead Brookes and Ambrose 50 each, Brookes looks a good prospect at 18

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Lead of 9

Looks a bit in the pitch

Don’t want to be chasing much over 210ish

Hopefully rip through them again!

 

[tisza]

9 down. hopefully keep target well under 200.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

179 to win, Bears game to throw away you feel.

5fer for Stone.

Just see it through to lunch 1 down at worst!

someone's just got to get their head down and bat (it's not a one day game!!). all their top 7 made a start

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

1 down already!

 

[Covstu]

125 to win, 7 wickets? Should do it but they tend to have the Coventry city’s about them and throw it away!

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Bears win again

6 wicket win and a first career hundred for Will Rhodes who batted very well

A bit worried out Sibleys form and I would love to see them find a real opener for next season as we haven’t had one since Varun

 

[tisza]

Just don't see Sibley as an opener. He's a middle order hitter.
Seems crazy going into a season without specialist openers even if Rhodes is going well for now.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Sibley smashed a club record (just under 300) for the 2nds at the start of the week so it’s disappointing he didn’t carry the form in.

Great knock by Rhodes hopefully kick start his Bears career.

Maybe Div 2 isn’t a bad place to be bringing these youngsters in!

Feel for Hose not getting in he looks a decent proposition but in fairness Lamb has taken his chance at 6.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

There does seem to be a real shortage of quality openers about as England have the same issue

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Derby 138-1 off 21 in the first 50 over game
Bears need to drag this back ASAP

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

226-1 off 33

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Two down now just missed the wicket when I logged in to watch the match

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Chasing 358
130-3 off 21
Hain 73* so far
Derbyshires game at the minute needs one of again or Hose to bat deep and just keep wickets in hand and hang in there!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Well this games done
10 an over for the last 15
4 wickets left
Hain still there on 107 but little support.
Not a great start with some tough trips to Yorks, Lancs & Notts to come!
