Just back from game, Stirling, Mousley, Carlos and Lintott outstanding, some great catching too. They went really quiet for large parts of the game, a great win overall.

I will be at Headingley later, hoping the weather up here improves. I'll be amazed if we don't qualify even if we lose the last 2.

Fridays game maybe. I see Northants are scoring fast again.

Burgess is brilliant this season.

Absolutely! 400 in 110 overs at 3.6 should be achievable regularly.

We deserved to win the Championship last year no doubt, but cricket is moving forward all the time, as evidenced by our test team. Somehow we need to take the shackles off and particularly in our batting become more assertive. It seems a lot of our opponents this season have comfortably scored at over 3.5 an over against us, but I can't recall us doing the same often.

Very enjoyable watch. Agree with others though, am particularly fed up of seeing Miles bowl half trackers. Maybe Woakes will be able to play if we make the QF stage. Mousley for Yates, and Rhodes for Stirling are other options, especially as that increases the bowling options.

Be interesting to see if they persist with Davies as maybe it would kick start Yates season if he goes back to opening. However the problem with Burgess at 6 is the lack of batting after him.

Bowling wise its clear we miss the injured quicks and I'm not sure what's happened to Briggs, is Lintott worth a go?
