Kent following on - game over, they can't win that.

Morne morkel has bowled the worst ball I've ever seen in international cricket. Yes, worse than THAT Harmo ball in the 2006/7 Ashes. Wide down the leg side, he missed the cut strip.

Take out the extras that SA leaked last night and that's a pretty close game.
Very enjoyable though. Twenty20 looking slightly bloated compared to Eleven11.

Kent set Glamorgan 61 to win. They're 17/0 and within striking distance of sending both Yorkshire and Derbyshire to division 1.
Yorkshire declared their second innings 387 ahead of Essex.

Now we're up I can confess a slight sadness that Lancashire got relegated. The priority is to be in the top flight, but I'd rather have Roses games than not.

Given his current form, and international pedigree, Anthony McGrath should be the man to fill the problematic England number 6 spot out in India.

Rikki Clarke's got similar international pedigree, and has just had a decent all round season in Division 1.

While we are being silly and having a laugh, can we bring Mark Ealham out of retirement???...

Good win in the t20 warm-up for England, but can't help thinking they'd have been better off playing a proper team rather than one of the minnows.
