Preamble
Good morning from a wet August Tuesday; the final day of the this round of the Bob Willis Trophy. We had one result yesterday, as Sussex blew away Hampshire. Glamorgan are in deep trouble at Taunton against Somerset, as are Durham as Yorkshire restart needing only 68 to win. Essex need 202 in a day, after Kent collapsed to Simon Harmer yesterday afternoon; Middlesex are in a good position at The Oval against a depleted Surrey; and Derbyshire, 126-1, have a chance of battling on a flat pitch at Trent Bridge. Lancashire and Gloucestershire need to bat better second time around and honours even-ish at Edgbaston.
Please do drop me a line with your thoughts, either at [email protected] or @tjaldred; or comment below the line. The more the merrier!
