Sam Hain is playing, and having a good stand with Chris Benjamin, after the first two wickets fell quickly.

A second centry in the game for Sam Hain, it makes his omission from the first team even more mysterious.

Chris Benjamin got a double hundred in the first innings, with Kai Smith been the 3rd highest scorer.

Sam & Amir Khan, 122, put on 2 for the 3rd wicket.

Just been away, so missed the Sussex game. I noticed that there was one new player drafted in with First team experience - Ray Toole, ex-Durham (a County cap for 1 appearance), Central Districts / Stags (around 50 appearances in the NZ Plunkett Shield, the 50 over Ford Trophy and the Twenty20) & Essex (a couple of outings in the T20) - a(nother) left arm seamer. Born in South Africa, I'm pretty sure he's not English qualified.

As well as the batting performances Highveld describes, some decent bowling, with a particularly good return from Ismael Mohammed (7 for 113 in the match).
