6 out of the 8 CC games still in action in the final session, with only one (Durham vs Worcs) a bore draw. That has to be a good thing for the health of the England team
Munday (who got four wickets) plays for Canterbury (div 1); Wightman for Prem team Tunbridge Wells (as does O'Riordon). Harri A plays for Beckenham, Luckett for Bickley Park, Jas for Bexley (all Prem).
15 man squad named for tomorrow's Blast game with one interesting inclusion - Crawley. Are all the England players being sent back to play a couple of T20s before the next Test?

Pope has been made available for Surrey. Not sure if Foakes was but he's bit in the squad for us - Batty doesn't seem to rate him in short form which is fair enough (though his record is pretty decent and he's even had a couple games for England in that format). I won't mind as long as he doesn't pick Burns ahead if him who really shouldn't be anywhere near the T20 squad

I suppose it's good that England are trying to balance availability of players for counties as well as England, even if it's a change in format
And while it might not help his technique, if Zak manages to get bat on ball and score a nice 30-40 tonight, it might help his confidence ahead of the 3rd test
Don't want to see Klaassen in the T20 again. That was shambolic bowling. Bowling short every ball and Vince smacked it to the boundary every time. 0-63 in his 4 overs.

83-2
Up to 7th in the table, so starting to look upwards to midtable mediocrity rather than the dreaded relegation to Div 2

I blame Billings, he's been corrupted by spending too long with England!

Will do well to get near that. Poor Klaassen decided to come out in sympathy with this Dutch team mates in returning figures of 0-63!!!
