Hello there Mike Daniels within the Grace Road scorebox.
“A day watching PCC XI v Zim here. One thing is certain, Mitch Killeen has a more aesthetically pleasing action than his father. Bennett playing some pleasant shots.
“Can I give a shout out to a friend of mine, Charlie Roberts, who’s recently published a book on his struggle with Axial sPa (previously known as Anklyosing Spondylitis) during his sporting career? All profits are going to NASS, the charity for research into the condition. It’s a very enlightening read.”
Of route. Good good fortune to Charlie.
And no quicker had any individual mentioned how a lot they have been taking a look ahead to Bohnnon batting, than Bohannon isn’t batting. Lancs 11 for 2.
Poor Keaton should go this time, stuck through Madsen – the second one oldest guy within the fit – off Blair Tickner, who has a superbly idiosyncratic run-up – an off-the-cuff jog at the spot earlier than a clock-work toy way.
Personnel adjustments across the flooring: Marnus is again at Sophia Gardens, John Turner, ex of Old Trafford, replaces Sonny Baker at Hampshire, Farhan Ahmed is rested, Somerset have tipped the batting order right into a bowl and picked out Davey and Gregory (out for 15) to open, and Sir Jimmy replaces Will Williams.

Morning from sunny Edgbaston, the place Hampshire have received the toss and elected to bat. The query here’s, are we set for every other run fest? Warwickshire are 2nd within the desk after two wins at the highway … however now not this actual highway, which has produced 3 attracts, and totals of 454, 528, 655-5d and 504. The handiest anomaly used to be the draw with desk toppers Notts, when climate performed a component and the Bears have been 93 all out and 186 for 6. But even with that sport, wickets in this flooring are costing 46 runs apiece to this point this season (if my sums are right kind). There’s a gorgeous quick sq. boundary these days too…
And Jennings is dropped on one, at 3rd slip.
Much pouring over the tea leaves within the OT pressbox. Lots of sympathy for KJ and bewilderment over the crew “apology”.”
Paul Atichinson has the new ball, the pitch pretty far over towards the new hotel. Fun fact – he is the only current county cricketer who was once taught by Paul Edwards. Wishing KJ a hundred to smooth that furrowed brow.
Get to Old Trafford where the sky is Baltic blue and hundreds of children mill around on a school trip – Lanky bouncy castle and all. But still no swifts, who usually wheel around above the car park.

Preamble
Good morning! Sun, sun and more sun in this seventh Championship round of the season. And all change at Old Trafford where, since Lancashire fell to dismal defeat against Northants, Keaton Jennings has resigned as captain, Marcus Harris has taken over and Jimmy Anderson is back! I’m off to Old Trafford to take in the lie of the land. Play starts at 11am for a full round of fixtures. Do take a seat, it should be fun.
