Can't complain at 2 early wickets. Keep going lads.

Brilliant 7 wicket partnership, watched most of it online and the way both were committed to staying in and just hitting the bad balls was exemplary. Both of them left loads of balls that could have seen them get out and were prepared to just get a good position going. Think we need 400+ but it's better than the 140 all out that it could have been.

Well, unless we have a good first and second wicket opening partnership, this one looks like it's gone. All those nice 20's and 30's from the first innings will have to stretch a bit more in our second innings - As long as the umpires don't make a mess of things like they did on certain first innings dismissals.

Well, when I said we were short, it would see as though we are. Could be a stern test this afternoon with Surrey close to our total and a few batsmen to come. Anyone else think we need a spinner, RY could be doing a lot of bowling, just hope he has the success he has had so far this season.

Bloody hell, missed out on another batting point, great innings from Barnard but didn't expect that shot and I do think we are a few short, lots of starts but I hope our bowlers can prove me wrong.

Seem to remember Hain getting a shocker a few seasons ago, given out caught down the leg side off Roach, a bit of Deja Vu rearing it's ugly head.

No great shock, surprised it didn't happen earlier. That is Pakistan cricket for you, totally disorganised, like the year they chose 31 different opening partnerships in all formats of cricket and then wondered why their openers could never gel.

If his team are unlikely to qualify, are they just keeping him there on a 'We have paid for him so he will have to stay here for now' basis. If he does gat picked for a Test squad, he will be rusty having had little cricket for months. Cannot believe that they have picked Archer and the overrated Jordan, a bowler who can barely get on the pitch and one who isn't consistent enough but seems to be lucky to put in the odd performance when there is a tv camera about in 'The Hundread'.

All this on/off cricket hasn't done us any favours and those are horrible conditions to bat in. Glad I didn't go.

If only Duckett could have got out early. But, he didn't and we have had the worst of the day. OHD was superb and so was Rhodes in spells and Hassan later but not over-impressed with the new guy but hopefully he will improve as he plays more. As for Briggs, this is a worry as he looks innocuous again and just appears to feed runs whilst rarely giving anyone any trouble. Credit to Duckett though, he played intelligently from the start whilst still keeping up his very attacking way of playing.

Just had a look at the Met Office forecast and Sunday looks to be be the worst as far as rain goes but the temperatures look awful as well. Anyone going, do not put away your big coats away yet, they could be needed.

After a poor showing in the 50 over world cup, you wonder if the selectors will stick with him. Not sure what England's best T20 side is. Would love to see him play some CC cricket otherwise he could be rusty if they decide to play him in any of the Tests.

Have to agree, strange angles to watch a game from seeing as it wasn't like that on the first day. Hope we can quickly get to a 200 lead and then the rest of the batsmen must be told to really try and "Give it a whack" and see if we can set them perhaps 280 in 60+ overs. Trouble is though, draw points are worth a lot now so a lot of teams might not be tempted to try and be positive. Essex already have 2 wins and drawing will only leave us and others, a big margin of points behind.

A lot of pissing about this morning and to miss out on the bonus point for 400 is poor.

Tea, 202-1, we will have some of that, thank you. Great start. Well done again AD, no matter how popular he is or isn't, getting runs won't hurt one bit.

Remember Derbyshire offering us the use of their ground in that infamous B&H Cup quarter final in 1994. Kent said no, we had a 'Bowl-Out' in the indoor school, Kent lost and them complained to the ECB (Or whomever was 'Running' the game back then) and then for the rest of the season. What made it worse for Kent was that we beat them every time that season when we played them in other competitions.

We will always be Warwickshire as far as I am concerned and when we won the T20 in 2014, a lot of the commentators still referred to us with our proper name and also the scorecards in the papers the next day had us as Warwickshire.

Did well to get 3 wickets but the pitch looks good but having seen the forecast for Monday, it might be just alright for us to get maximum bowling points and take those.

Wouldn't say Durham bowled badly at all but with a very short boundary on one side, it was easy to get 4's (And a few 6's) and a boundary on the other side that seemed twice as long, 2's could be turned into 3's and 1's into 2's. Both openers did what you should do in that situation, cash in and go big. Haven't seen us score that many in a day in ages. Could be a 700 job and with wickets in hand and fast scoring, that could be achieved halfway through tomorrow. Boland going off didn't help them, I have lost count of the amount of overseas players I have seen go off the pitch when runs are being scored by the opposition and yet it's different when wickets are falling, funny that.

The forecast was different this morning and all this was supposed to blow over in the morning until late afternoon. Probably better for us that we now have more rain but that still leaves me wondering why Worcestershire have batted on. Even if their skipper thought this would happen, surely you would declare once the game started and an hour had been lost anyway. After yesterday, we would settle for this.
