Everyone in the top 8 has now had a score of 50+ within the first three innings of the season. When did that last happen?

[SemperEadem]

Early signs but having a specific batting coach is looking good.

Pre-emptive in the case of Wiaan Mulder after his two knocks (1 & 11) last week?

Thanks to a stumping assist from Swindells, young trialist off-spinner Harry Sullivan (ex-Yorkshire) takes his first wicket for the Foxes Second XI

Relied so much on him last year about time other players stepped up

Ah balls, of course. Still, some record this early in the season.

Great first day , well great 2 sessions

A good crowd down there today, good day with the bat, looks like bad forecast tomorrow

Tomorrow looks like a washout, bad timing need to keep riding this wave

Need someone when CP leaves and Rehan is playing in the Hundred or for England

[Lako42]

Such a shame about the weather

We've got the platform and the players to potentially rack up a good score quickly tomorrow and push for a follow-on, but there's no way I'd back our bowling line-up to take 20 wickets in four sessions or so.

Remember when Abbas absolutely ran through Durham a few years back, him Barker and Abbott at Hampshire is a ridiculous attack

Confirmed no play today, in case anyone was holding out the slightest glimmer of hope.

Blowing a gale that day if I remember correctly

Already called off today.

Aware it's a better ground and a club with more resource but Notts had just as much rain yesterday and they're already playing today.

They have spent a load on the outfield drainage. I suspect LCCC's is substandard at best.

My point is more about play being called off so early

[Lionator]

Any chance of a manufactured finish today?

We can't get him past 11 at the moment, let alone 50

I suspect we'll aim for 450 to get the 5 bonus points, plus 5 for a draw. Put them into bat post that to see if we can attempt to get wickets for extra bonus points

[CrawlingFox]

Hill has gone from a decent keeper with the odd good knock in him to a very, very good specialist bat and been at that level for the last two seasons. Shows what's possible with hard work, probably our best player these days?
