Why on earth did they bat on today? The forecast is turning after lunch and we had to set about them early on. Far too defensive in what has been an encouraging start generally.

There’s eight points for a draw - the chance of losing them hardly encourages adventurous declarations.

I think it’s five points for a draw. Would like to have seen Cooke declare when we were 350 ahead. In the scheme of things the worst we will get is a draw having outplayed Yorkshire. Loads of positives and you never know we may still force the win if the weather holds.

It's eight for the Bob Willis Trophy, as opposed to the five in the Championship, according to the commentators this morning.

I heard another discussion on this since I first posted about - apparently, they agreed on eight points because, with so many games being played late last season, they thought there might be quite a few games badly affected by the weather, so they didn't want some teams effectively penalised through no fault of their own.
