Lancs look a strong side to me. Lots of useful all rounders who hit the ball hard - must be something in the water up there.
Pleased to see almost all the teams so far are playing their best available team, rather than going full second xi. Hope Somerset similarly pick Hildreth and Davies!

Hameed ton! It's happening.
What's also happening is Sonny Baker's debut for Somerset. Kid bowls fast.

Hameed is getting picked for Tests isn't he. That innings from Joe Leach! Woof.

Watching some lovely outground cricket from Radlett today. It's very therapeutic to watch at work.

Caught in at long on trying to demolish the part timer, very club cricket dismissal. Robson does turn it to be fair, inconsistent but some good balls in there.

Drat. Looked at the weather forecast and decided to give cricket a miss today - full 50 overs done! The last two times I thought the weather looked bad but good enough to be worth going, obviously it poured. At least the Olympics has gone well this afternoon to sort of make up for it!

...if they win after I've said that I'll be annoyed.
Hello Jamie Smith and Ryan Patel. Surrey doing their level best to fit fifty overs of runs into 30.

Well, White and Handscomb going together won't help. A lot on Davies & Hollman.

DLS oddity (imo): Surrey 29/1 off 8 overs, go off, match reduced to 30 overs Surrey end on 311/8 from 30 Target REDUCED to 300
Surely you'd increase the target since Surrey spent a decent chunk of their innings deliberately going slowly? (I know this meant they'd be less likely to use wickets, but it would also greatly reduce their total, one would think). 300 is still of course a massive total, so kudos to Notts if they get anywhere near this!
Also, never had Gubbins down as Hampshire's premier allrounder

It does seem odd, apparently it's to do with Surrey having more powerplay overs.
Remarkable game though, those innings from Patel and Smith especially.

27/4 vs Glamorgan, that's not ideal. Michael Hogan very much the cat amongst the pigeons.

Sonny Baker doing experienced county pros for pace time and time again. Speed gun in the last game had him up at 85-86 fastest balls and low 80s all through which is pretty bloody good for an 18 year-old. Very exciting.
