    It's stopped raining, it wasn't vast amounts of rain. The officials are out there

    It's really cold though

    At 54-4 off 8.4 we cannot win if there is any more rain anytime soon because we are so far behind on DLS

    61-5 so it's academic whether it rains or not.

    It's raining again incidentally

    Feel like I should get a free badge or something for sticking this out.

    That said we won the toss and elected to field and would have known that rain was likely at that point. The bowlers did their job but we got ourselves in a right pickle with the bat - run a ball stuff AND losing wickets never really works. I know Henry is good but he isn't so good that we only score 9 runs off his 3 overs and no runs off the bat for 12 of his 18 deliveries.

    Think the target is 126 off the next 4 and a bit overs. Be entertaining whatever happens

    I think the phrase is "pot committed". Or should that just be "committed"?

    Send Stewart in. Should have come in before now because he is someone who can hit three or four out of the ground in one over.

    The last train back to London is 22:23, so I'd need to leave the ground  by 21:50 at the very latest as it's a decent walk.

    Ben Compton is playing for Kent 2s today and hit 76 off 48 balls in a T20 against Surrey. He hit 10 fours but not a single maximum proving that, if you have the skillset, it is possible to score quickly without resorting all the time to hitting the ball in the air

    The other good news is that both Gilchrist and Quinn are playing which suggests that either or both might be available for selection in 10 days time for our next CC match - if not before should they be needed in The Blast
