    Taking nothing away from Lyth and Tattersall but their bowling was poor and they were only missing Topley maybe and Curran

    I've never been to a match at Scarborough but that seating area consisting of rows of bench seats with no backs looks uncomfortable. How do you sit there for a full day's play? I know it's easy enough to get up and walk around but you still have the solid plank of wood to go back to.

    Anyone on here been in that stand for a full day?

    The last time I went was 3 years ago funnily enough against Surrey but we got there early so got a reasonably comfy seat on the opposite side.
    I agree those bench seats don’t look inviting or sittable even.
    Just before start today, there were some deck chairs un claimed

    Not for 30 odd years. Think it would be a bit uncomfortable now!

    Perhaps they are occupied by those who are not really there for a full day's cricket - for example, watch it for a bit, go to the bar, watch a bit more, go get some chips and so on, and so on until 6pm. I know that cricket is more of a social occasion for many but, personally, I go to watch top class players doing their stuff. Must have been fantastic today watching our two lads get centuries. Hope they survive for another thirty odd runs in 14 overs to claim a fifth batting point. I wonder when the last time that happened was :)

    The pitch is getting dryer in the heat. The cracks will show up fast than usual with the weather. The surface will continue to get harder.

    Get ready for Shannon Gabriel with his pace and bounce.

    When we get a heatwave it’s invariably rainy and cloudy

    Raining at Oakwell. Just about to pop down to Mount to watch England v India. It'll clear the humid air and supposedly gonna be glorious after. Hope so. This farmers tan needs topping up.

    Shame he didn’t get the double century but that’s a remarkable innings. Start batting yesterday morning, out just before lunch today. Amazing
