Scarcely believably, given the single-figure temperatures, the county championship season has started

Sussex 127-6 at OT

Major revamp of the format with initial group stages, god knows why

Good to see a former Dale defender opening Glamorgan's batting with Bumble...

Final day against Glamorgan after yesterday's washout

It'll end a draw but Lancs chasing batting bonus points and starting to give it some welly now after a very slow start, Livingstone in particular

With Lancs latest game barely getting going since Thursday due to the rain, an amazing event down in Canterbury that makes cricket what it is, from a stats point of view as well as entertainment:

A new first class record in cricket history for the percentage of runs scored in a century partnership by one player!

Two seasons ago Kent told him mid season he was to be released at the end of the season. He then went on a tear with both bat and ball so they changed their mind and offered him another contract.

Further illustrates the motivational side of professional sport. I suppose at 43 (back then) Kent had good reason to think he was ready to hang his box up, but for a guy in his mid-forties to be creating cricket history shows what a unique sport it is

And more to come from our Jimmy, at the highest level

And for good measure he was one of Wisden’s prestigious cricketers of the year this year, usualy reserved for folks in the international arena.

The oldest wisden cricketer of the year since 1933

No doubt it'll be of minority interest on this forum, but good to see Haseeb Hameed rediscovering his form

Opening spots for England still up for grabs

Good start for Lancs in the Roses fixture at OT, Yorks 9-2

Weather finally looks to be relenting so should get a good game in what will go a long way in deciding who finishes top of their group table

Edit: 15-4! Expect the wicket is still quite damp but should dry out nicely over the next couple of days

Lancs are well set after today. May be a quick 45 minute run thrash tomorrow morning, then set aggressive fields. Hope Bailey, followed by Parkinson can have us close to winning by tea time.

Are you thinking its the final day? It's day 3 of 4, and with the weather well set Lancs might try to bat as long as possible

We are looking an efficient all-round outfit, even without our players who've now joined the England squad for the first test next week

Assuming they can keep the wickets, I can see them going until an hour after lunch. that would give them a 300+ lead with 4 1/2 sessions left & no chance of losing. However even if they are bowled out in 45 minutes, it would be tough to see a Yorkshire win

Now it is time for Test Cricket, and two strong teams as well. Bit worried that the Blackcaps have not had any real competition recently, due to travel and Covid. Looking forward to this.

Williamson was the one I feared would be "underdone". Taylor, IMHO, is lucky to be in the team. Conway has been sensational all through our summer.
The outcome on this test could hinge on the other new Blackcap, Jamieson. If he does well, and Boult and Southee, and Wagner chip in as usual, England could be in trouble.

Boult's out for this one, not sure if he's injured or being rested, but I can't see England winning this. Terrific knock from Conway so far.

On a separate note, I managed to get down to OT on Saturday for the 3rd day of the Roses game and what a joy it was to sit in the sun and watch some live sport. Looking forward to the Blast games starting next week.

Tangled up in blue.

Middle order failure blew Blackcaps chance of domination. All results still possible.
Whats it like to watch? SkyNZ lost the cricket franchise so not seeing much except news highlights.

Great viewing.

Full, all day live coverage on Sky Sports and then an hour's highlights on BBC2 at 7pm if you missed anything.

There's also ball-by-ball commentary on TMS and in-play clips on the BBC Cricket website and Sky Sports' Twitter.

Undoubted knowledge? Or just the application of common sense and using my brain?
