Shah with a big hundred today, so he's probably due a 15 or something next week. The way it's going, we should/could be top two before the final round kicks off, so I'll be happy with rain all over the country for four days. Plague of frogs if that's what it takes.

Poor sods

no chance - it never rains in Essex

A totally unfair comparison. One is a species that descend on an area, strip it clean, eat everything and leave devastation in their wake. The other is an insect.

Can't see Derby hanging for another two hours with just two wickets left. It's going to be a big old ding-dong next week as Kent, Yorkshire and Derby fight to replace Lancashire and Worcs in the top flight.
