Quite
Wouldn't mind if they were in tune, they remind me of Buster Merrifield playing the piano

Still it's Friday afternoon and I'm on my second pint of gin and tonic

Bess makes the break through, very soft dismissal. Time for Wood now?

TV have suggested the light might be iffy for Wood

Makes a change for us to be the one frustrated by a rain delay. None the less pretty annoying.

Back in play after rain, all seems a bit quiet now. One very hard chance aside the rain did SA a favour. Stokes finally bowling.



Stokes does it again, but why such a delay in bringing him on, he is on fire lately no matter what he does.
