Sibleys innings was "interesting" because he had a mindset that he was looking to leave absolutely everything including two balls that would, ordinarily, be freebies to him as a predominantly leg side player
Sky sports having a mare. Seems their vision mixing software has crashed (I’m guessing), can’t display graphics and having difficulty switching angles.

Indeed - not quite as bad but not too divorced from those fixed camera head on shots that you get when highlights of County games are shown
The ECB have just issued a statement saying that they will be issuing a statement about the conditions under which recreational cricket can return. Which is very good of them given that clubs are trying to arrange games to take place for 72 hours time!
They have at least confirmed that 11 a side will be permitted and that there will be not be a set number of overs per side permitted i.e. it won't have to be a 20 over per side game as previously thought by some

He’s weak in the exact place an opening international batsman should be great in - outside his off stump, especially in England. It was textbook great bowling though, have a couple on the same line swinging out then bowl one on the exact same line and swing it in. Sibley took it hook line and sinker.
I had a quiet morning and watched all the buildup. Half meetings from 1.30 till 3. Missed the toss and every ball that's been bowled. There probably won't be anymore play today ffs.

Guidelines now issued - including clubs providing marked "running lanes" for batsmen so they don't run near the bowler.
As Athers has just said there is little that isn't known as a result of County and Country analysts and Denly's habit of planting the front foot in the same place regardless of the line does mean that he will leave a gap between bat and pad and/or even "curtain railing" in a last ditch attempt to hit the ball.
The decision to bat in these conditions is biting us in the posterior!
But will hopefully be more than evened up by WI batting on day 5.
Even with the weather we've had somehow I don't think it may get to Day 5. Both sides strength is their bowling rather than their batting especially with us missing Root

Wait. What? Sorry, wrong thread.

Looks an excellent cricket pitch overall.
