Press conference now on twitter.

1-0 Saints at half-time

Nice if B'mouth Brighton and Wham win tonight or perhaps it doesn't matter any more? B'mouth already 1 up.

Thanks.

Anybody know why Lancs were awarded 5 penalty runs?

Listening again I think you are probably right.

Remember Colin Munro? He was on the winning side in the Caribbean Premier League and was the competition's highest run scorer. Good to see his pre-season training with Hants paid off.

Any chance of an overseas player for the last two matches?

Don't confuse qualifying for Europe (eg Burnley) and actually playing in a competition (eg not Burnley ). It would be nice if with the new system English clubs didn't need to go through qualifying rounds.

Theory mentioned on BBC that there is a batch of Duke balls that are paticularly lively.

Yes, a bit worried by what we are going to get.

7 points off third place

Maharaj a good signing especially on the September pitches.

I see Pope can play for Surrey from tomorrow even though the match started without him. I presume the same would have applied to Vince.

Wouldn't they hire a helicopter?

Porter not included in squad so he can play for Essex. Nice.

Only 19 wickets actually as Livingstone couldn't bat (broken thumb).

Popping them in for fun now.

Last year we got to the quarter-finals with 7 wins and 6 losses. We still have a small chance.

Run rate is OK

Looking to make it 3 out of 3.

Won't be able to show her at the final. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44800145

Incidentally Croatia finished behind Iceland in World Cup qualifying.

But we have two signings:)
