I don't know exactly what it is but it looks like Broad is wearing a police ankle tag.

My last update of the day, my 67th today so off on lash, meeting 2 of my sons but they're lightweights so going up pub early to get a head
start.
Bears 85/3 27 overs
Briggs 20 & Hain 31

Derby 390 all out
Pears 3/1 2.4

Bears have got on to 201/8 but with Sibley unlikely to bat there's only 1 wicket left in the bag.

That leads to me no really understanding why there isn't an option to replace a player in a situation like this. If he has, as seems likely, broken a finger not being able to replace him in the batting line up is a huge disadvantage and encourages people to bat when it's not suitable or safe for them to do so in an effort to save the game.

and now 201 all out with possibly the best batsman in the squad not able to play.

A batting calamity for the Bears. With Malan not joining for a few weeks and now Sibley out it's a poor start to the season. Once again, the bowlers got early wickets as they did against Derbyshire, but lost any advantage by leaking too many runs to lower order batsmen. Why are Mousley and Brookes not playing?

2nd wkt of the morningNotts 141/4 lead by 213
Clarke Ct Burgess b Stone 56
James 5 is joined by Mullaney

[PGW]

A great morning for Bears , through to lunch at 167/3 65
Hain 55*
Lamb 40*
A ferocious battle ensuing between Hain & Broad, reminiscent of the famour Atherton/ Donald battle many moons ago. Possibly wuickest i've seen him bowl
for a while. Hain struck twice in the middle of his back and a fierce blow to the helmet which ended up as 4 leg byes.
Could be a thrilling couple of sessions ahead with Bears requiring a further 166 to claim a great victory.

[PGW]

Typically straight after lunch  we lose a wkt.
