Does look like there might be a bit of turn.

Difficult to say, it was a bit of a gift to be fair.

Honestly irrespective of the 2 wickets, Barnard has bowled consistently very well here, beat the bat so many times.

Barnard is bowling a good spell here.

Odd innings from Bohannon, played a shot a ball almost and could have out a few times. He's a better player than that.

Hamza, Briggs, Mousley in for Bethell, Brookes and Maxwell.

Think that's a bit rough on Henry. Briggs has hardly set the world alight in his previous 4 day appearances but comes straight back in.

13 man squad

Rhodes
Barnard
Bethell
Briggs
Brookes
Burgess
Davies
Hain
Hamza
Mousley
OHD
Rushworth
Yates

Not sure how line up. Does Briggs come in? Think I'd go Yates as the sole spin option with the game being at Edgbaston.

Hamza will come in. Feel it would be harsh if Brookes missed out having had a decent game game v Kent.

Bethell or Mousley? Robinson quotes read as though Dan might not be 100% fit.

Barnard had a quiet game v Kent, does he stay in?

Is playing for Kent 2s today.

Has signed for the next 2 CC games.

I think OHD stays. Burgess may well be weighing up his options, rumours of him leaving have been swirling for about 12 months now.

We may well move on from Briggs.

I think Garrett and Johal are struggling. Only 1 may stay. Likely both will be released.

Hamza Sheikh and Amir Khan will both get extensions I'd have thought.

Don't know about Ethan Brookes.

Its never a nice time. All good cricketers, all good people.

One is for sure, Warwickshire are never very good at this contract lark.

Just looked, they did.

Lost to us Gloucestershire 2015, Us 2016, Notts 2017.

Did Surrey lose the One Day final 3 years running across circa 2015-2017?

Feels like ages since we had a CC game at Edgbaston.

Weather might be iffy.

Lancashire a decent team, probably better than their league position would suggest.

Not even in the XI for the 1st Test!

Well done Somerset to defend 2 scores below 150 is superb, they have won more game than anyone whilst winning the title and we cannot have any complaints. Glad Samms didn't win it for Essex and at last Somerset fans after paying out enormous amounts of dosh over the years to travel to finals, can actually go home with a smile on their faces and a trophy.

Did they not win the One Day Cup in 2019 (the final at Lords)?

Anyone watching this? Anyone gone?

Might line up something like

Yates
Shaikh
Rhodes
Burgess
Barnard
E. Brookes
Smith
Lintott
Miles
OHD
Norwell/Rushworth/Garrett/Johal/Simmons

???

Weve got a fair few options actually.

We had Lamb and Sibley playing in previous years in this comp, bit of a hole to fill. We had Pandya last season too so maybe we'll see another overseas.

Garrett, Johal, Sheikh all have full contracts and have all played ODC before.

Might see G Maddy and Kai Smith too maybe Amir Khan.

I feel like we've not lost as many players as we have done in previous years.

Fantastic win. Huge effort, they all put so much into that. They've earned the day off.

Epic innings from Yates. Played the spin really well I thought, Qadri looked quite threatening at times. Great to see Rob get some big runs with the white Bear on his helmet.

Solid contributions from all the batters. Brookes is having a decent all round game.

If we can nip a couple out early we might win today.

Grant Stewart has done this to a few sides down the years, he is dangerous.
