First blood to Warwicks, as they beat Essex.....
Looks like it's gonna be an interesting chase for Somerset at Yorkshire who lead by 138 with 4 wickets still remaining.....

 

[SpiderBee]

Warwickshire won by 8 wickets and go top.

Sussex beat Notts.
Warks top and theirs to lose now.

 

[Judio1999]

And they are now home to Leics next (who could be doomed by the start)

 

[Judio1999]

I see they have just won so a small hope for Leics

 

[Judio1999]

1 Warwick 203 Leics H
2 Somerset 192 Surrey H
3 Notts 188 Yorks H

8 Essex 127 Glam A
9 Leics 108 (Maybe add some on appeal ?) Warw A
10 Hants 95 and down

Interesting to read that it was shown on the big screen too. They must have shat their pants.

That was when Bancroft knew he'd been rumbled. The umpires responded to what was shown on the screen.

Usman Khawaja about to tell all on sandpapergate. The article is paywalled but I’m hoping we’ll get a part 2 to the Steve Smith crying gif.

Tuffers for 6-4??????

He looked about 12 years old too.

Sparse crowd at Durban for the SA v Aus first test - not a good look

Good match for the tail

Australia turned 124 for 6 into 390 thanks to a brilliant 190 from Renshaw who was only on 16 when Cummins came in at number 8

South Africa turned 197 for 8 into a decent reply of 284

 

[Judio1999]

The old boys still going strong

Starc 2 wkts
Hazelwood 2
Cummins 3
Lyon 2

Are they trying to hold out for one more Ashes series ??

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Turned on to see how the test is going only to find those two weirdos Smith and Labuschange batting. Think I'll stick a film on.

Saracens have sacked the rugby player who sparked English cricket’s captaincy crisis on a night out with Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson last summer following his involvement in another alcohol-related incident.

Hertfordshire police also confirmed they were investigating an alleged assault in the early hours of Sunday morning in St Albans. “Police are investigating an altercation which occurred between 2.15am and 2.20am on Sunday [11 October] in St Peter’s Street, St Albans,” a statement read. “It is alleged a man aged in his 20s was approached by another man who then punched him to the face. Inquiries are ongoing at this time.”
