That is such crap, the England international is being replaced by a bloke who's played one first-class game. It's a good job we are in a good position otherwise it looks like a poor replacement nevertheless.

Yes that's ridiculous and on a par with the number of injury substitutions most teams seem to be making. Be interesting to see a league table of who has taken advantage the most.

Do find it quite poetic that we’re incumbant and still the only team yet to use an injury replacement.

Its one of my favourite things about all this!

Graham?

That celebration from Hain and the crowd response was so emotional.

We need this 250 then even a manufactured win for Somerset won't be any use if our game fizzles out Sat/Sun

We need 300 don't we for this to be the case, we need the 2 batting points?

Why have you done that Vansh?

Not a lot of pace in this pitch by looks of things.

I'm at Taunton. Somerset look like they want batting points having stacked the batting and brought the boundaries in fully 15 yards all round. They'll have to get rid of Dom Sibley before they get a chance themselves though.
The locals don't seem optimistic (chortle).

Little glance at their live stream earlier on, I don't think ive ever seen the one side so short at Taunton.

Exactly

Can't really say. Bit there, nothing excessive, we've bowled really well.

Goodness me that was a poor decision on Tattersall

Leach on in the 10th over...Ciderabad...

Look at that pitch at Canterbury...

I'd be impressed if they drew with Notts and Somerset, fair play.

Lost the toss again!

I just hope we start well, relatively so with it being a 4day game anyway, and settle the nerves.

Come on you bears, come on.

Ian Holland worries me, been in great form with the ball now for a few weeks.

Was just coming in to say, no Nick Kelly for Leicestershire is quite a big blow for them.

Ethan Banter

I dont know if he was more deserving, or less deserving of a contract. He definitely deserved more opportunity to make a case for himself though over the past 2 or 3 years, particularly in white ball cricket.

Don't think they showed anybody when we won it in 2021 did they?
