[ADVILLAFAN]

Seems to be slow going so far, after 10 overs we're scoring at just over 2 an over!

Guessing it is very overcast there.

[PGW]

End of powerplay 10 overs Bears a wholesome 21/1
Only one worse score in powerplay this season Pears 19/6 at Edgbaston

34/1 11 overs

[PGW]

Seems to be slow going so far, after 10 overs we're scoring at just over 2 an over!

Guessing it is very overcast there.

It is and there has been light drizzle which i think has relented now
39/1 12
Hain 10*
Trott 18*

It is still drizzling.

[PGW]

40/2 12.5
Hain Ct Hodd b Plunkett 10
Trott 19*
Bell in

Average score batting first here since 2014 is 213 so may not be disastrous as we think.

We might need to win convincingly to go through though, depending on results elsewhere.

Can't help but think we've fucked it against Lancs.

 Trott 70*

Ambrose dropped by Carver off Rafiq in that last over. We just can't get the rate going on a very slow wicket.

Derby 125/4 32 v Leic

I think 230-240 is a par score on this wicket, it's very slow.  I'm worried we'll drop a little short.
