He's a bit overrated. I find this England Test recall bizarre.

CR Woakes is back

Moeen needs to get a handle on this situation pretty quickly.

Feel desperately sorry for Rob Yates. I'd have thought Benjamin and Lintott are looking pretty vulnerable here. Barnard might be looking like a bit of a passenger too but his batting seems to have a bit of poke to be fair.

Hain atlas like in this line up right now, actually hitting good deliveries for boundaries. Mousley looked good too but my word he has some poor dismissals.

Maxwell trying too hard to impose himself.

We'll be fine.

He wasn't the most committed pro, I'm gonna leave it at that...

And lots of the games do finish before 6.30pm.

You ain't gotta stay til the end, it ain't like you've paid for a ticket.

Think Saturday night is a good time to play, Saturday afternoons are for club cricket!

Yeah think they maybe got 15 or 20 more than they might have...

Dropping Yates was monstrously harsh, top scorer in a winning side game previous, now dropped, hate that...

Mousley top scorer but he looks slightly out of touch...

We look bereft if Hain fails, no one else takes charge...

Maxwell trying too hard?

Derbyshire bowled and fielded really well, fair play. They've give us aggro in this comp quite a few times. I wouldn't call it a 2nd XI standard attack, that's disrespectful. Scrimshaw looks good, has height and pace, bowls a hard length. His back of a length delivery looks difficult to hit, particularly when he goes wide on the crease.

Sometimes this happens in t20 cricket.

Bring on the meltdowns!

His first 3 overs were really good. He went through his variations, used the crease well and looked pacy.

Then his last over was so bad it was scarcely believable.

When he's good he's good. But when he's bad he totally and utterly loses it.

Still think there's a good bowler in there though.

We go again.

1 or 2 major selection headaches coming up you'd think...

Would have thought he comes in for Barnard?

Do the runs they scored tonight count towards their season averages and strike rates?

Just noticed he's not in the squad, I'll see myself out...

Moeen?

Maybe Maxwell for Yates or Stirling and Davies up to open?

From 1st of June a county can give notice to approach a player in his final year? Is that correct?

We're not shy of making an approach for players in the final year of their contract ourselves so we may just have to suck it up.

We announced the Barnard signing in June last year aswell as having discussions with Saqib Mahmood during that month.

Lancashire and Yorkshire sniffing around.

Yeah it's starting to sound as though Woakes may actually be in the XI to play v Ireland, Is Stirling not in the Ireland squad?

What we think?

Hassan be fit?
Maxwell be available?
Woakes still be about?
Stirling still be with us?

Are we perhaps at a huge advantage here having been in 'T20 mode' a week longer than Leicestershire with the comp having only just started?

RCB are out so I'd imagine only logistics prevent Maxwell playing Friday. CSK are still in it so who knows about Moeen.
