Tom Allin's scintillating cameo

Worcestershire 75 for 1 (23 overs). Mitchell 26, Solanki 0.

Twelfth man Tom Allin moseyed out there for five minutes while Martin was off the field and was lurking at mid-on when Moore, on 46, mistimed a pull off Carter straight to him. Moments later, Martin returned and Allin departed, job done.

Sun shining brightly now as the cathedral strikes 12. Glorious.

There's a big, round, wooden thing leaning on the perimeter fence in front of the press-box and it looks just like that big, round, wooden thing that featured in an episode of Dad's Army as some sort of strange, rolling bomb (a strong candidate for most unconvincing prop ever).

Brilliant series though.
