Scrambled egg

By Brian Halford on May 23, 08 12:22 PM

Warwickshire 322 for 5 (106 overs). Frost 72, Salisbury 3.

An admirable stand of 152 ends when Botha leans forward to Udal's first ball of the day and bat-pads to short leg for 50 (158 balls).

It seems I spoke too soon when reporting no injuries sustained during breakfast this morning. Salisbury has emerged with a runner and it can't be his previous injury because Middlesex would surely not allow him a runner for an injury sustained before this match began.

If Frost gets out and Zondeki comes in we face the intriguing prospect of having two runners out there.

Who's the lucky runner?

Troughton - getting in some much-needed time at the crease.
What occupation were those striking French people, by the way?

Emma said:

Not fisherman - too far inland. These ones were protesting the lower of public sector pensions. Again. Although there were quite a few megaphones souls going on about 'solidarité' - so god knows how many people were just out on strike because they felt like it.

Are they running comfortably? My commentary options are on Test match mode at the moment. Thank god for long wave radio and ECBtv.

Troughton is running smoothly. But, I kid you not, Frost is flexing his back and his movement looks restricted.

At least they're allowed to have substitute specialist wicket-keepers. It's getting a tad ridiculous.

Got your whites handy Brian?

Sadly, Simon, I, too, am on the injured list with back, knee, foot, other knee, eye, rib and stomach injuries.
