To Lord’s, where Ed Hawkins’s climate stripes were displayed on the scoreboard on Friday, while on Sunday a real ale festival bubbled away in the Coronation gardens. On the field, the game swung giddily as Middlesex struggled against tight early Derbyshire bowling but then soared as Ryan Higgins reached his fourth century of the summer and Toby Roland-Jones slammed a fifty despite snapping his bat in two.

Yorkshire’s Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean piled on 307, the highest opening partnership in first-class cricket at North Marine Road. Gloucestershire could only watch after winning the toss and inserting. Durham bolted to 445 for five on a friendly Chelmsford pitch, taunting the title contenders Essex and taking 16 off Simon Harmer’s first over. There were centuries for Alex Lees (sedate) and Ollie Robinson (rumbustious).

Jimmy Anderson travelled to Canterbury with Lancashire but did not play. The crowd got their fill at lunch instead, with hundreds watching as he repeatedly bowled at one stump, and then took five minutes to reach the safety of the pavilion after stopping for selfies. There were three wickets each for Nathan Lyon and George Balderson as Kent were bowled out for 244.

Important Events
And while the players were joggingAs I was walking around the ground, an email arrived in my inbox saying that Jordan Clark had been caught by Shoaib Bashir for 12 (Surrey 340-5).
Hello Tim Maitland. “I’d forgotten that Championship matches were tucked in between the pyjama matches. Isn’t it a relief to see some decent cricket being played in dry weather?”
“It’s certainly better than seeing them huddled together for warmth like penguins at the ridiculously early start of the season.”
So true, this should feel like a fair reward for the players’ efforts in April (at least until the weather warms up). Too It’s hot and uncomfortable – a bit like when you’re stuck at home with small kids and summer is a wonderful reward for making it through the winter.
A very lovely day for a Whitby boy Adam Rhys took part in the Scarborough run fest yesterday, his 129 being his fourth 100 in the championships this summer and his fourth 100 at North Marine Road.
“This is my home club and I had friends and family there to watch and I said to Beanie in the middle, ‘Let’s try and make the most of this’,” Liss said after the match.
“It wasn’t a typical Scarborough wicket, there wasn’t much seam movement… so it’s disappointing I couldn’t contribute in the same way to help (him) get that 160.”
