Preamble
Good morning all and welcome to day four of this county cricket blog. The Championship is reaching its business end and we could well have some exciting finishes on our hands in the six remaining live fixtures.
A reminder that Gloucestershire v Northamptonshire was abandoned due to an unsafe pitch, then on Saturday Warwickshire completed an innings victory over Kent and Hampshire did the same at Lancashire. All eyes today will be on Somerset and if they close out the win against Durham and whether Surrey can force any kind of result at Trent Bridge. Division Two perhaps looks less interesting, but a few quick wickets and we may get a result or two, especially in the Glamorgan v Leicestershire contest.
Stay tuned for the 11am BST start and feel free to drop me an email or comment Below The Line to join in the usual county cricket chat. Should be a good day.
