Lancashire close on 19-0, an excellent day.

Off for rain again.

Piddling down, South Africa 97-5, 8 balls left. Who'd have thought playing in the middle of September, and you get weather like this !?

A bit unlucky.

Bit of fun i suppose, but it almost doesn't matter who wins a 8 over game

A bit like The Hundred, but there's no fun there.

It's been a long time, he really should know where the bloody fielders are!

A bit of a farce this really.

Break down of the bowling seems very unfair for 5 overs compared to nine

Brook needs to give himself a chance. He's all over the place
