Good misty morning! Welcome to round two of this Championship extravaganza/last hurrah.
There really was a breathless hush to the last hour on Monday – the games at Lord’s and Taunton going down to the shoe-chewing final over, only to end in draws. The first-round spoils went to Notts and Hampshire, Leicester, Derbyshire and Kent – time will tell if they are still on top when the leaves turn.
Play starts at 11am and we’ll be here all day, so pull up your chair and settle in. The coffee is brewing.
