Making the windows shake

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. It is a blowing a gale in London, bright one moment, cloudy the next.

Very chilly. Not great weather for cricket spectating so I don't think Lord's will be full today.

Carter is fit so Warwickshire might go in with three bowlers - Carter, Barker and Botha - who propel the ball with their left arm.

Just as a post-script to the Scotland game, loathe as I am to challenge the verdict of a fellow reporter, I have just read in a Scottish paper that one of their players Craig Wright has "blasted the Warwickshire fan who invaded the Grange pitch, stole a bail and wrecked Scotland's hopes of breaking their Friends Provident Trophy duck."

"We were starting to get motoring between Neil McCallum and Cameron Borgas," said Wright. "That broke it."

Not sure about that. The incident was bizarre and silly but I don't think it "wrecked Scotland's hopes". Borgas was strokeless.
