I imagine you'll be the one getting emails on your phone every 2 minutes from people on here, asking what the score is - judging by the other day  :)

Wonderful stand between Chopra & Maddy. Another failure for Porterfield and captaincy certainly suits Chopra. He's getting closer to an England call with every passing game.

Maddy will leave a huge hole in our one day side next season.

I guess about 12,000.

Good night apart from Jane of this parish fell and cracked her head open. Luckily she's ok, just three stitches and she's still in the pub now with us. :-)

Bit of fisticuffs outside the stadium afterwords... never seen cricket agro before! Silly little kids.

Yes, well over the 10K that was expected.

Bit of a shock, when you are used to the the ground being 5% or less full, to see a crew from Worcs to turn up early doors and occupy the upper north of what used to be called the Rea Bank Stand, replete with SG Cross flag, chanting "I would rather be a pear than a bear" and "If woakes can play for england so can i".

Best wishes to Jane.

Damn, missed the fighting.

Had to walk back to town as all the buses were packed, Amanda insisted we had a drink in the one of the first pubs we came to, which of course, if you know the area you walk through to get back to town, was one of those flying a rainbow coloured flag. Nice pint mind, but I had to explain to Amanda why all the men were holding hands and kissing, she had had a few drinks and probably thought they were just very friendly in this part of town.

Could do with Worcestershire beating Somerset. They need 11 off 11 with five wickets left.

Come on you Pears!

Well done Pears. Must make it so much sweeter knowing you've done the Bears a mighty good service

After their performance against the Bears last night I didn't think they'd get anywhere near the Somerset total. Great innings by Andre Russell and a good result for the Bears.

You Bears!!

Russell can certainly strike a cricket ball, good game that, only started watching when Worcs. were 22/2 and thought they were already well out of it. Should be a cracking game now v Somerset.
