Don’t like the Hundred (giving me something to watch though) but Phil Salt has just pulled off a ridiculous catch

Edit: here it is

Bank holiday Monday, glorious sunshine, not a single county side playing.

I get that there was a round of Metro Bank games yesterday but surely playing two days in a row, or spreading the games out over the bank holiday weekend isn't impossible.

Instead there will be 8 games tomorrow, bet Edgbaston will be packed for the Warwickshire game.

If they had played today the crowd would bigger and that doesn’t fit in with the want to kill this tournament. Nothing matters in the eyes of the ecb apart from the franchise rubbish.

They keep leaving prime slots open all season. Quite a few summer weekend days without a single game

Good news that the hundred games have been hit by bad weather.

not even made it through half the overs before they're all out.

guess I'm not watching the cricket when I get home tonight. Will be over one way or another by then.

Dismal. Don't tell me "Hundred happy slapping" isn't impacting on players' technique etc. 3/4 wickets there with zero foot movement.

Probably as well!

This isn't defeat, it's humiliation.

Got themselves in a decent position but looks like they're going to throw it away.

Was rather bizarre watching the pre-match player interviews where they were complaining about lack of preparation and the hundred taking up too much of the summer.

Highlights the continual issue England have with the 5th bowler. Is the part-time spin of the extra batter worth it?

If it’s Jacks as the extra batter no as I think he is rubbish and only gets in due to his Surrey connections.

Decent start. Please don't do our usual quarter final implosion.

Sky really need to stop with this idea that all England players should become commentators.

This fall away started after Davies played a daft shot he was going so well before

Batsmen do tend to think they're invincible when they're going that well.

Think Warwickshire have lost in the quarter finals 10 times out of 23 Blasts competitions

He's a terrible commentator, not that keen on Broad either tbh. Sky have got some great commentators who seem to be getting sidelined for 'names'

A Morgan special today. Close up of someone in a Bears hat prompts him to talk about how the Somerset fans always turn out for big games. Just one of many examples.

I can’t stand him I blame him for curtailing Hains international career saying he bats to slowly, Morgan was an average bat at best but did lead the team well.

It amazes me how they fizz the ball in I think oh no that’s four overthrows and somebody tends to be waiting

When I started going, late 80s / early 90s, it was pretty common for looping throws in to only make it part of the way and it needing a fielder between the thrower and the wicket. And nobody would even attempt to go for half the catches they make now.

Westwood should be sacked tonight.

The lack of a quality overseas has hurt us there
