Mike Daniels is in the Grace Road scorebox: “Bit of a breathless start here in the same vein as the first day. Patel and Currie gone already, Currie to one which squatted. Variable bounce here and not sure even a third day will be required.”

Oh dear. Leicestershire 68-4 in their second innings, lead Middlesex by 161 runs.

Batter’s brilliance overshadowed Jimmy Anderson’s presence at Southport, while Surrey’s Jamie Smith also hit a ton

Round the grounds – Durham have had a bad start against Worcestershire, Borthwick lbw for 0, Ackermann caught for one. Ben Stokes is turning out for Durham in pre-Test tuning mode. Other Test players warming up for Lord’s this final mid-summer round are: newbies Jamie Smith and Pennington, Matthew Potts, Dan Lawrence and Chris Woakes.

The newly-called up Pennington with the second over, fast and accurate. Glad to see that his trouser hems still rest fractionally above his ankles, though not quite as short as they were when I first saw him play for Worcestershire back in the 20tweenies. Notts’ opening attack is quite something – Lancs will do very well to see it off.
