They are 27-6 now, incredible. 19 wickets down in one day at Trent Bridge - pitch questionable still?

Yeah the flipside to him batting 7 is he's against an older ball and more tired bowlers. That's not taking anything away from the fact he's been a bit of a revelation.

Earlier in the season I said it would be nice if some of the tight victories could be more comprehensive. Well that's two very comprehensive wins in a row and we're benefiting by getting extra rest days.

This thread will presumably turn into Somerset and Notts watch for the next two days.

Yeah, both Notts and Somerset have plenty of time to bat twice and bowl oppo out. The only thing it does do is mean their games will go three days at least you'd think. Whereas hopefully we can get our game done quicker than that and get some extra rest in - especially important with the short turnarounds.

That is an absolute stinker against OHD, i'm not sure it would've hit three sets of stumps!

Big leg spinner from round the wicket to a left hander to which he's got a big stride down to.

It's going to be tough to score many batting bonus points but we desperately need to, to stay in touch

Didn't realise Leicestershire suddenly had so many injuries, Davey, Scriven, B. Green, Holland etc

Hull not playing either, it really is a poor side they've put out for this match

8-0-52-0 in first spell

Us, Notts and Somerset all lost the toss and have all so far had the the better of the play

Coincidentally I watched a Youtube video about the laws around dimensions of a cricket ground

If Leicestershire are getting penalised then Notts should be in trouble too with the state of this

Somerset fans not thrilled with this one. They'll be even less thrilled if he gets a hatful of wickets!

Amid this congested and rushed bunch of fixtures, pretty good we managed a 3 day (two and a half day, really) win. Day off and relatively low workload for the bowlers.

Ironically by losing in three days and only bowling once, Glamorgan bowlers have had a similarly low workload. Somerset scored quickly so they only bowled 10 more overs than us and didn't bowl after day 2!

Somethings away here, those are the averages prior to the Hampshire game.

Yep, Yates' hundred not on there and his average will be over 40 now by my calcs

Follow on avoided!

Leicestershire lost a few late wickets so probably won't reach the follow on target now.

Fair weather tomorrow so will be a full day and decent batting weather but I've not watched any of the game so no idea what the wicket is like.

If OHD (and possibly Barnard instead) and Suthar can keep going until they're all out first innings, then Woakes and Bamber can come on fresh with the follow-on. I assume we would open with two quicks and then bring on Suthar early rather than open with him!

I would also stick them back in, IF we do get the last four wickets quickly then the bowlers won't have had many overs in their legs and presumably Suthar can hold an end for most the day.

It's turning too much for Suthar to get any LBW. It'll either pitch outside leg or miss off stump

What do I know! I will say that is poor batting, surely you get a big stride in rather than rock back

I haven't seen a team drop this many catches in an innings for a long time
