I'm at Headingley.

The entire ground applauded Sangakkara as he walked to the crease.

Just saying.

And then applauded him back to the pavilion three balls later!

I was about to post that it was a shame they couldn't arrange these games away from the internationals, but clearly Yorkshire doing OK without the other lot!

Steve Davies is warmly applauded by all sides of the ground as he reaches his 50.

Just saying.

Foakes brings up his fifty.

Warmly applauded by all inside the ground.

Just saying.

100 partnership, warmly etc

Davies goes to his hundred and is met by complete silence. Of course it isn't.

Surrey will win this.

Davies warmly applauded by all sides of the ground as he walks back to the pavilion having made an excellent hundred.

Think I've made my point now but he probably isn't listening/reading.

In case Warwick make the Final, I think I'm supporting Surrey in this first Semi, sorry Chris.

Yorkshire would be more formidable opponents, especially if their England players were allowed to play.

I just hope we get our England player back given he's probably the form player in world cricket right now.

It doesn't make sense to have the semi final of the one day tournament clash with a ODI series, the natural pessimist in me thinks Surrey will win this, the batting looks considerably weaker without Willey, Plunkett, Rashid and of course Head now he's gone. Seems unfair we can't play Lehmann especially as we've lost so many to England.

Couple of Surrey supporters sat near me, neither of them applauded the Yorkshire 50. Therefore all people from Surrey must be complete bastards.

Seems fair to me; I know 1 person who supports surrey who's definitely a bastard so what more evidence do you need?
