Will we see a bowling attack of Hasan Ali, Chris Woakes, Rushworth and Norwell this season? That is some line-up if it happens!

Ed Barnard proving a very good acquisition, hopefully he gets a ton tomorrow. Can someone enlighten me on the Woakes situation? Is he back from the IPL? Every early season he seems not to play for us. Given the lack of our top class bowlers not being available this is frustrating. Annoying that other England players are getting practice in with their respective Counties.

The ball was nowhere near Hain's bat. The Umpire seemed swayed by the wicketkeeper and slips jumping in the air! Very poor call.

88/3 - Hain gone for 17 last ball before lunch. Hain was unhappy with the umpire's decision. Looked a bit iffy.

Warwickshire 88/2. I notice Ollie Pope and Ben Foakes are both playing for Surrey?

And, where is Woakes? I thought he was back from the IPL. No Rushworth or Norwell is also a blow along with Hasan Ali on drinks duty for Pakistan.

This is hopeless! How can he get into any rhythm with the Bears?

Notts 400 all out. Bears 17/1. Good to see England's batsmen getting plenty of practice in....Duckett, Root & Brook all getting centuries. Meanwhile in the IPL....

And Duckett playing for Notts. It's the same nearly every season, and Chris isn't getting any younger. I presume he still gets paid for warming the bench in the IPL?

Has he had any time playing so far? Are the ECB holding him back? I noticed Root has played some cricket recently for Yorkshire.

Same underlying problems with the batting. Without Hain they struggle. We could do with signing a top overseas batsman - but international commitments usually get in the way.

Anyone know why Norwell is out of the team? Worrying if it's yet another injury, especially to his troublesome back.

Not the best start to the season. Worrying if Norwell is injured already? On top of that, Hasan Ali unavailable along with Woakes and Hain. Recall Craig Miles!

No Chris Woakes again?

The timing of this news so close to the start of the new season is disappointing.

Not overly happy with this decision. He's still young and has a lot to offer. I think we might regret letting him go.

Very good signing. I still feel we need another batsman.

Bears win! Scrapping for 3rd place next week.

28/2. Ridiculous decision by the umpire to give Mousley out stumped! His foot never left the ground! Albeit by a toe.

14/1 Davies gone lbw. We need 44 off 42 balls.....hopefully we can do this!! Sun has come out....
