Good hazy morning! Extravaganza to this championship/Welcome to the second round.
On Monday, there was a really breathless silence-Lord’s and Taunton, the games in Taunton go down to the shoe chewing final, ending with lots of lots. The first round of spoils went to Notts and Hampshire, Leicester, Derbyshire and Kent-Time, and when the leaves turn, they will still say they are still at the top.
The game starts at 11:00 and we will be here all day, so pull your chair up and settle. Coffee is brewing.
