Glos have declared and set Derbyshire a target of 316.....

A draw looking increasingly likely now, which given we got maximum bonus points is not the end of the world.

Not surprising it was a struggle. Kookaburra ball plus missing so many bowlers - Hull, Holland, Ahmed and Mike.

Just checked the scorecard. Patel bowling ahead of Ahmed??

Chuffed with myself! This Tribe looks like he's going to bat all day.

Northeast due another 300 against us....

Will be very interesting to see what kind of pitch we prepare for this. Will it be a really flat deck, designed with the aim of not losing and thereby allowing Glamorgan to close in on us? Or, with the ball we'll be using and how dry it's been, will we prep a bunsen burner and gamble on Rehan and Trev out-bowling their spinners?

Why no Van Beek? At this rate we'll have to play Salisbury and Walker again, with Hull and Holland also missing.

Rehan going for a big swipe the ball after hitting a 4. Madness. 1 boundary an over and then work it around.

Who would we play instead, though? Don't have loads of batsmen in reserve.

Did the same on Sunday, too. Been hugely disappointing this season.

This pitch is not easy against the spinners.

Have no idea why we never saw this. Bou was clearly a much more natural 10.

Unnecessary by Patel as well. Why are we hitting the ball in the air when we need 7 per over?

Brainless dismissal from Budinger. Just no need for that after hitting 10 in the 2 previous balls.

Need to stop the rot. As someone said last week, though, I'm not sure we've got a great T20 side. We bat deep but I'm not sure we have enough batters who are both quick scoring and consistent in the top 6, whilst the bowling, with the likes of Walker and Salisbury having to play, is sub-standard really. Holland, Ben Green and Hull are big misses.

This is looking really ominous.

Way too many low scoring overs in our innings, bailed out by a couple of monster overs. Walker and Salisbury are really not up to it. Need Holland and Hull back asap.

Rehan in the England T20 squad (but not being used), Hull called up by England Lions (and now injured), Holland playing in the US T20 competition, and Mike injured.

Ha! Noticed that. Can't watch any more of this.

I know what you mean. The captaincy has been iffy and our bowling attack has been very much second string with the absentees. The batsmen have been shocking today. At least Richard Rae will be happy today.

Are we playing on a different pitch to them?

Is it just his decision? Imagine they agree a plan ahead of the toss.

Jeez, this is embarrassing.

Budinger having one of those days when he looks like a club cricketer.
