Not a good start from Davies, and another poor score from Hose.
Impressed with both Hamza Shaikh (15) and Amir Khan (16) today and also the ground is up another notch with the seating and boundary fence as well as the humungous net at the Cape Hill End to prevent sixes leaving the ground. Can't be many county sides with a second XI/development ground like that. Like a mini Loughbrough now. Benjamin right on the stroke of lunch silly way to get out big booming drive when he should just block it out. Quite a dark green pitch and tomorrows weather won't alter things much
Days 2 & 3 rained off. Pity. I wonder if they'll both forfeit innings to set up a run chase for Glamorgan tomorrow
Tommy Rex and Jake Lintott (ably assisted by Ethan B and Jacob Bethell) could have won the game for us, if both sides had forfeited. Great bowling. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for Manraj's and Furrer's efforts. Its early days but I wonder if MJ could be following Henry B as a one season wonder - 1 (expensive) wicket in 4 innings so far this season.

Johal probably needs a few games in his legs just like Henry Brookes. My first look at Furrer tall left armer could well be handy in future. Lintott's first wicket was off a full toss everyone was creasing apart from the poor batter although he admitted himself he was reprieved in the morning when Burgess failed to hang onto a Stone short ball gloved off the hips. 4 drops in the slips was unlike Bears too although they were all sharp chances
Interesting they made Burgess play. Was he a sub in for someone?
