Division 1: Surrey v. Notts. Essex v. Hants. Yorks. v. Som. Lancs. v. Worcs.
Division 2: Middx. v. Sussex Derbs. v. Kent Gloucs. v. Leics. Glam. v. Warks. Dur. v. Northants.
Division 1's all but done, isn't it? There's still a relegation spot to play for, though, and this round has a key match in determining that. Lancs. will hope that new signing Keshav Maharaj can get a few to turn. Worcs. will hope England don't pick Moeen Ali like the fools they are.
Division 2 might be almost as straightforward. I highly doubt Warks. will do anything but win, leaving Middx. v. Sussex as the prime match. Derbyshire + Lockie Ferguson have an outside chance of turning over Kent, which will leave their hopes of going up at the umpteenth attempt in jeopardy.
It's the business end of the season, all! Much though that season shouldn't be autumn...

Somerset will pagger us, without Coad the bowling unit looks shot, the batting has been shot for a few years. It's all doom and gloom in casa Pierre

Surrey need to start losing to keep D1 interesting.
Great reminder to go and make my fantasy changes though! Starting by adding all the new signings.

It’s all doom and gloom out of the window as well.

Yes, my normal this time season strategy of pile in on spinners may be worth rethinking

First wicket bingo anybody? I’m going for Glamorgan’s other non-Selman opener, whoever they might be.

Kent not playing Stevens after I make my four changes. Absolute gitwizards. Cammy Steel first wicket.

Rain’s ballsed up my guess anyway.

Unlikely to matter overly much, you’d think - although Hardus and Lockie is not a bad opening pair at all.

Brooks takes the first Somerset wicket.
You can almost taste the irony.

Brooks gets the first of his painfully inevitable stack of wickets in this game now we've given him a three year deal. Presumably he'll take 12 wickets then tear his ACL or something.

5/2! amazing, looking forward to bowling out 'Set for about 150 then collapsing to 40 all out when the Overton's get their hands on the ball
