    That's a choker. Get yourself down the canals with your lad; lots of good bars there.

    Presumably you'll get a full refund? I know it's not as good as seeing England thrash Australia but it's some compensation at least. There was a guy from the Warwickshire board on TMS this morning worried about the loss of revenue a 3 day Test Match would represent. Just as well we didn't wrap it up yesterday!

    Not a bad start this from Hants! Middlesex 5-3 after just two overs. If we win today and tomorrow (the latter now being live on Sky I understand, following the early conclusion of the test), then we'll be in an excellent position to qualify for the QFs at the half way point of the group.

    Bird coming in for the early start (assuming switching him and Arafat is tactical, not injury related) has worked masterfully so far.

    Four down. Brilliant Fidel, brilliant Bird. What chances they can do this for us in three or four of our last five Championship games, to allow us a late escape.

    Great chance to do our NRR the world of good here. Although ultimately, it's about getting the two points.

    Was thinking exactly the same. Hopefully we can finish this off inside 25 overs without losing more than a couple of wickets.

    Hamoshire's NRR goes from 0.4 to 1.4 as a result.

    And again Bird picks up a wicket in his first over.

    I rarely, rarely criticise a fielder for missing a direct hit, but from there, with that much time, Adams had to hit. Ingram is a massive wicket to take.
