What happened to Norwell? Can Miles bowl as a concussion sub as well? Can't remember seeing that very often before.

Hit on the chin by the ball

I think concussion subs can take full participation in the game so no reason why he can't bowl.

JUst seen the video of it - https://ecb.cdn.nvplay.com/d6c7da81-9138-449d-8b73-29ad8c8fe96d/2_101_05.mp4 - looks a pretty hefty one to the guard.

A good 10 wicket win for the Bears, there’s a really strong squad now at Edgbaston.

Made it look very easy, to reiterate, my concern this season is how many of these players get called up, Stone and Woakes are already deep in the mix, Sibley will clearly still be on the fringe of things and Norwell and Yates have both been with England as well, add Lamb and Burgess to the conversation given their batting so far and Rhodes as an option as a specialist captain and it starts to look like a very long list of players who might end up being watched.

I suspect the ingrained selectorial preference for picking southern, Yorkshire and Lancs players will resolve your concerns.

Decent recovery so far this morning at Taunton. Looked a poor decision to field yesterday although we bowled pretty poorly other than OHD. Taken 4 wickets this morning though, including 3 in 4 that were all bowled. Four overs to get the third bowling point...

Every chance Worcs lose in 2 days at Notts - poor batting yesterday & let them get 50 odd too many this morning trying to bounce Broad & co out rather than just bowling properly

I’m sat at the County Ground in Bristol watching Gloucestershire’s bowlers getting swatted around by Surrey.

Seen Jamie Smith score 100 runs today (214 not out at the moment) and Jordan Clark score a century (110 not out).

Surrey on 553-7, with no sign of declaring.

Poor day for the Bears, currently 125-7.

[Exeter 77]

Poor day for the Bears, currently 125-7.

Lost by an innings and 82 runs inside three days in the end.

Looks like a complete shambles from the moment they won the toss.

Choosing to bowl was obviously a complete misread of the conditions.

[dcdavecollett]

Yes, I heard there was a tinge of green on the wicket but no more than that.

And then, apart from the excellent OHD, we bowled like drains!
