That seam attack looks so weak without Woakes or Barker.

I think the weather will be good enough to get a game in, though probably not the full 20 overs a side.

[PGW]

Pears have got under way at New Rd but i daresay they are wishing they hadn't.

47/4 5.3 overs v Derby

[PGW]

Pears 79/6 9.4 overs.

Not managing this innings too well....80/6  10 overs

[PGW]

Pears moved onto 123/7 16 overs, match uninterrupted so far, have had a few drops.
Absolutely hammering it down at mine 1 mile from Edgbaston...not looking good for a prompt start.

[PGW]

Lovely sunshine over mine now.

Pears posted a good score
185/7 20 overs

Considering they were 79/6
