Division 1:
Essex v Surrey Som. v Lancs. Notts. v Yorks. Worcs. v Hants.
Division 2:
Sussex v Leics. Warks. v Dur. Kent v Nhants. Gloucs. v Middx. Derbs. v Glam.
Relegation still hangs in the balance, with Lancs. having played one more match than anyone else but their win still keeping them above three other teams. Promotion less so, but Kent might be catchable even if Warks. probably aren’t. If Somerset are to stand any chance of chasing down Surrey the latter have to start losing now, and this might be the best chance for just that.

Come on Essex, keep the hope burning for another couple of weeks at least.

Predicting a Notts win with Yorks taking 3 bowling bonus points only. Predicting that once more Morkel takes a swathe of wickets, and is once more fantasy skippering Pierretheuseless

The 10.30 starts caught me on the hop! Nearly missed doing my fantasy changes...

Come on Essex, keep the hope burning for another couple of weeks at least. I mean, thus far they’ve won the toss and elected to field...

Nemo sir, I’m not in the Fantasy Champo, but somebody on another site is struggling to understand the ‘preliminary semi-finals’. Could you let me know what’s happening this round so I can pass it on?

My prediction of 3 bowling points may have been ambitious given this start.....jeebus, choose to bowl , Notts could be 100/0 at lunch. Eeek

On the bright side, Durham haven’t bowled or batted badly thus far!

It's some sort of knockout stage, the exact format depends on the number of teams in the league but essentially, they've qualified for the final 4/6/8 and now need to win to stay in. It's only there in head to head leagues, open leagues will continue as usual.

I think there might be some system gremlins re. the knock-outs from what people are saying.
Don’t quote me, but I reckon Somerset have a decent chance of winning this.

Okay, bowling out Lancashire for 99 before 2 o'clock is almost too good. People will start talking about pitch inspectors, and it might be rather tricky for us to get the 300+ we need for bonus point reasons. Also Dom Bess didn't even get a bowl.
Meanwhile, Surrey are trudging unstoppably along like they're the bloody Borg or something. Resistance is futile.

Yes, all of a sudden pitch talk doesn’t look so unlikely...

If you could just make this look really bloody easy James like you normally do, that would be great.

62/5 off 15 overs. This is... concerning.

Similar issue at Canterbury. Lucky for us as we failed to get any bonus batting points. As usual.
