Not unhappy with this - we've struggled with the ball in all formats at all levels.

Need to get a decent appointment in now.

The most joyous moment of the season!

Sensational from Norwell

Well we've pretty much ensure there will be a result, barring any delays!

14 overs in 70 minutes. That's really not on - hope they get a suitable fine.

Hain is apparently struggling with injury.

They started on time after all that! Credit to ground staff for managing that

I work in Bournville and it has only just stopped raining, after having rained quite heavily overnight - I would therefore be surprised if they start on time

One good session, followed by two poor ones. Story of the season that we can't put good sessions back to back

Has anyone been to the ground? I live in Digbeth and it hasn't rained here since the scheduled start time

I'd bring in Lamb for Bethell and Burgess for Yates.

As poor as Davies has been the rest of the season, he has to stay in the side for his knock in the second innings.

Assuming Siraj won't be available again, I would bring Johal in on the basis Sidebottom and Garrett are both out of contract, and neither should be renewed imo, so may as well give the lad who will be here next year a game.

30-4. If there was ever a start needed to win this game, that was it!

We've batted poorly but there have been some shockers from the umpires here.

• Yadav didn't look to have hit it
• Davies was either outside the line if it hit leg (boot) first or hit it first
• Brookes was nowhere near that one and umpire took ages

Think there was another one someone was unhappy with as well

This could all be completely academic couldn't it?

If one of us and Gloucestershire (or even both but unlikely) stay up, they will finish 7th or 8th - which would then mean not finishing in the top 6 and presumably not being in Strauss's 'elite division'

Yeah, not a good look.

Poor performance overall this season and potentially less cricket next season. Should not equal a price increase imo.

Edit - The Gloucestershire commentator just said, under the new proposal there is potential for the number of days home cricket to be reduced from 39 to 25

The game could be over tonight at this rate!

Davies and Yates both playing shots as well. You would be surprised if this ends well for either of them

Not only has Davies massively underperformed with the bat, I don't think he's a very good keeper.

Two unnecessary byes there, and a generally under-par performance in this game.

Having watched him in the flesh in the Blast, I also think he stands too far back, which suggests he doesn't have the ability or confidence in his own ability.

I would be absolutely fuming if a Warwickshire batsman played that shot, brainless from Hammond. Great for us

That's the first really strong session we've had in a long time!

If the pitch is turning now you would imagine it's only going to take more turn - Briggs and Yadav to win it for us in the fourth innings

We are, in all likelihood, going to end up with the lowest batting bonus points in the division - tells its own story

He signed a three year deal at the end of last year didn't he, so I would doubt he's going anywhere permanently
