• A floodlight has failed at Canterbury - not sure what will happen but if too dark to carry on Bears are ahead on D/L - Kent are 113-4 (24.3) but need to be on 122.
  
  Be a strange way to win but we'll take it. At moment everyone just waiting to see what will happen.....

• Happy that they should be on 122. It means the Duckworth-Lewis app I just downloaded seems to work properly!

  'Win be default' possibly the best three words in the English language.

• Anyone fancy Monty for the Bears? He's being released early from his Sussex contract and although Jeetan Patel has been good for us I think we need to recruit a decent overseas batsman to shore up our fragile batting line up so Monty would be a decent replacement if he sorts his personal problems out.

  Think he has gone to essex
  
  Not many positives about the Bears tonight, oh dear.

• Stefan Piolet has today joined Sussex on loan till the end of the season...play 3 x YB40 games and 3 Championship games but can't play against us in CC.
  Today currently Somerset are 40-1
  Trescothick 27
  Jones 4
  Compton LBW Barker 6
  Somerset won toss
  Bears side: Chopra,Westwood, Javid, Evans, Maddy, Clarke, Ambrose, Barker, Milnes, Patel, and Gordon.
  So i assume Porterfield dropped and Troughton not fit. Woakes away with England - can he come and play tomorrow if left out by England. I assume Rankin stopped by England as in T20 squad???

• Woakes has indeed been nominated by Bears to play if not selected by England.
  
  Ricardo Gordon just bowled his first ball in Championship cricket!!!!
