Unless Worcestershire have a batting collapse then probably be another draw for us with the forecast in the next couple of days

Yup, not expecting much cricket over the next couple of days

Worcestershire are seemingly the draw specialists

Today has been abandoned unsurprisingly

One I missed yesterday - Hameed's back in the England squad! Replaces the injured Foakes.

A bit early for me but good to see him integrated.

18,000 at Edgbaston - very much looking forward to it

I thought i had got a ticket for the Friday. But i have been told by Edgbaston they have sold the full allocation and people have got too wait now to see if they get in 7000 fans won't! Those who get in have also got to sign a form saying they accept it's a trial and take a negative natural flow test with them on their phone.

I'll be taking nothing on my phone as it the NHS app doesn't work on it

I did not know that the full days play on the Friday had sold out - when I purchased my tickets recently there was some remaining though it was slim pickings.

We've had to go in the bloody family stand - still, at least there won't be no under 16s there

Lancs have got Yarksher 21 for 5.

Edit. 21 for 6

Oh brilliant - if we are both in it would be nice to say hello mate.

Weâ€™ll touch base on Tuesday when we find out

Seems like there's a good game between Warwickshire and Notts. Warks are 163/3 after 64 overs. No Broad for Notts as he's off with England now

leeiswba · « **Reply #1985 on:** May 27, 2021, 04:45:31 PM »

Got tickets for the 1st & 2nd day at Edgbaston so hoping I am going to be lucky enough to not miss out after already losing my England v Scotland & England v Czech Republic euro tickets.

Its been a rather slow day to be honest. Glad to see Will Rhodes in the runs after a drought so far this season.

I'm hoping to pop to Edgbaston on Saturday to soak some of it up

That would be good Liam. If we are in we'll arrange a meet 👍

Great to be back at Edgbaston today seeing live cricket in the flesh. A thoroughly entertaining days play which sees Warwickshire with a lead just short of 250.

Zac Chappell boweled very, very well for Notts. He single handedly brought them back into the contest at one point. He was rapid.

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #1989 on:** May 30, 2021, 05:53:26 PM »

Fantastic win for Warwickshire - bowled out this morning leaving Notts with 308 to win. In response Notts bowled out for 138 with Briggs claiming 4.

In a very handy position within this group as we head to Derbyshire next week.

Looks like a good weekend for all of our sides aside from Mark

MarkW · « **Reply #1990 on:** May 31, 2021, 09:27:06 PM »

Haha yeah I saw that! Very good win for Warks. I'm just happy to the sun is out!

Just catching up as was playing both days this weekend. Great win for Lancs in the Roses match. Will be very good cricket to watch when the best teams from these 3 conferences meet.

Test cricket for England is back tomorrow woohoo

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #1993 on:** June 01, 2021, 01:04:03 PM »

Refreshing my emails in hope of the golden ticket

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #1994 on:** June 01, 2021, 04:12:17 PM »

Got my tickets

leeiswba · « **Reply #1995 on:** June 02, 2021, 09:12:22 AM »

Got my tickets for the first two days also, havenâ€™t seen anybody on social media saying they havenâ€™t got tickets so not sure how many were sold originally

hardtobeat · « **Reply #1996 on:** June 02, 2021, 12:00:34 PM »

This England batting line up looks very thin to me only Root and Pope have shown any consistency. Donâ€™t like picking a team without a specialised spinner either

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #1997 on:** June 02, 2021, 12:20:04 PM »

Robinson finally breaks through. 58 for 1. Latham bowled for 23.

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #1998 on:** June 02, 2021, 12:54:37 PM »

The commentators gush at Wood's pace, but he's running along at 5 and a half an over, it's not good enough imo.

leeiswba · « **Reply #1999 on:** June 02, 2021, 01:12:39 PM »

Why is the over rate so slow in test cricket?

Watching the CC they easily get 32 overs in before lunch normally, only managed 25 today
