Derbyshire scored 212 against Yorkshire, their 5th wicket pair Du Plooy & Guest added 93 in 5.3 overs. Yorkshire then dismissed for 68.

[StanSP]

The cleanliness of this strike.

It's the World Cup qualifier event at the moment. 2 out of the 10 teams (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands, USA, UAE, Nepal, Oman) will qualify. 

 

Sri Lanka should make it quite easily but I'm really worried about the Windies, Zimbabwe could definitely pip them to it.

Surrey are filthy good

 

Will Jacks misses out on 6 sixes in an over off the last ball

Pretty much on course for 300+ here

[AKCJ]

The chase is on!

[Stinkenzo]

Deffo within reach for Middlesex. Imagine losing all your games then chasing down 250 at your rivals

[AKCJ]

Surrey have bottled this.

[AKCJ]

Incredible!

[Super_horns]

Middlesex finally win a game !

 

Excellent run chase.

[Voll Blau]

Fair play to the lad coming in at the end and finishing it in two blows, rather than farming and letting the in batsman do it.

[Super_horns]

Well done to Tammy  Beaumont.

 

Double century .

 

Hopefully one of the men can follow suit next week although guess the pitch and bowling  will be much tougher !

 

Feels like this one will be a draw.

Similar to the men's Test - looks to be roughly a one innings shootout over two and a bit days. Will be interesting!

I'm at Trent Bridge today.  

 

The bowling hasn't been great tbh but nonetheless that's a really great achievement, the sheer amount of concentration needed for that period of time is impressive, particularly in sticky heat.

Betty Snowball is the most 1930s name ever.

[leicsmac]

No Ireland at the 2023 World Cup, then. A bit surprising. Still, I think there should be more than 10 teams anyway.

[leicsmac]

And England women need 268. Would be a record but they have the time to do it, weather permitting.

[David Hankey]

Alex Hartley needs replacing as a commentator, it's all about me, me, me. I'm sick of listening to her, bring back 'Aggers'!!

[Super_horns]

Hopefully they can chase this down like the Aussie men.

 

EDIT: Not a great start at all !

Shame after they got into a good position but the batting let them down .

Cannot be too often a team has someone scoring a double century and another taking 10 wickets but end up losing quite comfortably .

A very damning report by ICEC into ECB and cricket in this country. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Daniel Bell-Drummond closing in on 300, always found it strange he hasn't been in any one day or T20 squads for England

Doubt this is the sort of media attention the ECB want just before another Ashes test

.

Puts cricket in a very negative light regardless of if you agree with some points made or not. 

 

Some might argue the lack of cricket played at state schools means privately educated players will have more of an advantage for example. 

 

Hopefully any issues are being stamped out.

Quote from Jim Maxwell ('veteran' Aussie commentator) regarding picking Bairstow as wicketkeeper:

"You can't have a bloke who is a bit overweight , been out of nick because of his injury, doing the job of a Foakes"

 

Summarises situation perfectly. And it is not as if Foakes can't bat; not as quick as Bairstow and averages slightly less, but too many errors by Bairstow are costly.
