Key occasions
Due to Hoppsy (under) for infrequent nuggets from Chelmsford as and when the muse strikes. I owe him a CCLive! beer very quickly.
David Hopps
There’s a good crowd in at Chelmsford as unabated sunshine continues to spice up attendances, however the visiting Yorkshire contingent have been scratching their heads a bit glumly on the teamsheet. They knew that the presence of Joe Root and Harry Brook was merely ephemeral (amounting to at least one recreation, final week’s defeat towards Warwickshire) however there isn’t a Malan, and no quick bowling partnership of Buckingham and Sears both. It’s McGrath vs Silverwood over the subsequent 4 days, two coaches with each Essex and Yorkshire hyperlinks, and though Essex lack the England-bound Sam Prepare dinner, that Yorkshire teamsheet does look a bit weak.
Hampshire’s fielders drop a 3rd catch of the morning.
Damage watch
In no explicit order and I’m positive I’ve missed some (I’ll replace as you inform me!):
Jordan Cox and Paul Walter (Essex), Dillon Pennington (Notts), Joey Evison, Jas Singh (Kent).
A morning for batting up to now – Alex Davies has slapped a few sixes off Surrey’s opening bowlers – the indignity! Simply three wickets gone around the grounds – Bartlett has adopted Procter again to the pavilion at Northampton, Northants 33-2 and Glamorgan have misplaced ul Hassan to Kashif Ali at Canterbury, Glamorgan 36-1.
An early wicket! Will Williams, again within the Lancashire squad for the primary time this 12 months, removes Luke Procter along with his second ball of the summer time. Whereas second slip kindly provides Ben Slater a second life at Trent Bridge.
A primary recreation in 5 years for Jason Roy
So the juggernaut can nonetheless pull just a few surprises. Surrey, shorn of Ollie Pope and Jamie Smith, play Jason Roy at six and hand a debut to New Zealand right-arm quick bowler Nathan Smith.
Climate watch
We’re up and operating all around the grounds. The forecast is for heat and dry climate all spherical, with some showers doable on Monday, primarily within the south west.
Ali Martin
He might have been due a relaxation anyway however Latham and Webster in Warks workforce means no Michael Sales space, their second- main wicket taker (and tormentor of Harry Brook final week). Sales space, Zimbabwe born, is qualifying for England however nonetheless an abroad participant at current.

A morning missive, from Tim Maitland:
“We’re lower than two weeks away from England’s one-off Take a look at with Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge appearing as a mushy curtain raiser for the curtain raisers of ODI and T20 sequence towards West Indies, earlier than the correct cricket begins, however the place are we?
“Chastened and humbled after the pyjama groups took a beating in India and the frustration on the Champions Trophy? That doesn’t appear to be our type anymore. It’s a disgrace actually. We was so good at self-flagellation, didn’t we? Aside from the selections pressured by the health or lack thereof of the bowlers, will we anticipate something to vary? Are we fielding a quasi Lions aspect or does the correct check workforce get a run out?
“Is Zac Crawley, over a 12 months faraway from his final Take a look at century, actually enjoying for his place? It’s not the Baz-Ben type to hold a participant out to dry like that, is it? We again ourselves. And when that doesn’t work we again ourselves some extra.
“Personally, I’d fairly prefer to see a bit extra of a chalk-and-cheese method to the opening pair: somebody with a contrasting type to Ben Duckett, an accumulator greater than a shot maker maybe, who can solidify issues ought to Duckett’s aggression fail and restrict the variety of instances we get to see Joe Root trudging out with barely 10 runs on the board and the ball nonetheless cherry ripe.
“It’s a moot level as a result of it’s not going to occur, however who would that be? Does Tom Haines of Sussex, the primary and solely participant to cross 500 runs within the County Championship this 12 months, get a glance in? Two centuries and two 60s in his final three video games (towards Notts, Surrey and Somerset, no much less) is a few return. Or does Haseeb Hameed deserve a 3rd likelihood? A county captain averaging over 110 for the Championship leaders who did contribute three half-centuries when India toured right here in 2021. Does Bazball get a buzz from resurrecting mis-managed expertise?
“Or would it not be extra in character for Stokes and McCullum to take the subsequent cab from the rank of their very own system and push Durham’s 20-year-old Ben McKinney into the highlight after his century for England Lions towards Australia A in February and his form-confirming 153 towards Warwickshire final month? I would like a lie down.”
IPL suspended, PSL moved
And the political tensions between Pakistan and India throw their shadow over cricket.
The PSL goes to play the remainder of its season within the UAE, and the IPL has been suspended indefinitely.
