All over in less than a day and a half too. Mad.

Derbyshire 37-2.
Make that 37-3, Patel two in two balls, and the ball is turning.
Hell of a start bowling wise. Leicester mounting a bit of a recovery aswell. Weather looks slightly dicey Friday so good to be making quick process.
Notts are taking an absolute caning aswell. 24 point win for glam and top spot is still a mathematical possibility, especially with Durham looking in good nick
67 - 4 at tea
As so often is the case in cricket its that 6th wicket stand that is proving so difficult. Lots of work to do over the next two days to force a win
A good fightback from Leics who close at 273/9 just 24 runs behind. So Middx are not home and dry in that one
We treated Middlesex as if they were the 1980s West Indies team in our two meetings with them, Leicestershire are showing that this is far from the case. It’s funny, Durham and Middlesex have been quite a bit better than us in our four games with them, but we’ve been competitive with all of the rest and better than most of them.
Very good day for us today, - that Dal’s some player for Derbyshire, think he’ll be playing in the First Division soon.
Leics 294 all out so only 3 runs behind.
Meanwhile in Cardiff we need a breakthrough
Everything falling in to place, but glamorgan failing to do their part. Same old story
its happened again the middle order get in and score a good few runs against us
a pitch that anyone could bat on and some wayward bowling.
They probably read the high performance review and decided there wasn't any point winning the game. What a disaster Strauss has been for the game in England since becoming a suit.
Wonder who we’ll be playing in the local derby cup - it’ll be Warwickshire v Worcestershire, Gloucestershire v Somerset and we’ll probably end up playing Durham.
Very good catch by patel. C'monglammy
1 becomes 2. Game on !!!
Need to finish this off and get them back in again.
And Middlesex now scoring quickly! Out of interest anyone know why Notts didn't try?!
9 down
Given that the forecast for tomorrow is good, I wouldn't be adverse to batting for 20 overs now rather than enforce the follow on. Set them 450 from 115+ overs, but more importantly give our players a rest for a couple of hours.
Following on. Seems to be turning for Ajaz.
Surprised after 110 overs. VDG will be knackered already!
Given the Strauss Report, Glamorgan have got no chance of being promoted - number of Championship games to be cut from fourteen to ten (all hail the glorious Hundred).

It's only right that to improve at long format, 50 over and 20 over cricket England need the county circuit to revolve around a 100 ball gimmick game that isn't played anywhere else in the world.
Just watched Michael Atherton saying it’s about finding a compromise between the two big structures of the domestic game below international level, Championship cricket and the Hundred. Seems to me that the compromises are being made entirely on one side and it’s not the Hundred.
Derbyshire 26-1 following on.
I wouldn't mind if all the people who are involved in this had their heads on the block when it invariably has absolutely no effect (or potentially even a detrimental one) on the England national side but these absolute shits just skate from one mess to another.
