Baffled by that. Saw on Twitter that Jonny Bairstow had got out for 98. Then saw that St Kitts were 198-8. 

Turns out that to get some batting practice, Bairstow, Trott and Ballance are all batting for the other side. Oo-er! 

That is bizzare!!!  Have you ever seen that happen before??

if there is a god then hopefully he will deliver me 6 winners no numbers this weekend so I can jet out to the Windies and watch some fine cricket, it's on my buckets list to watch a few games out there

[Lord Snooty]

It does happen in warm up matches, SCO. But haven't seen it done for ages.

Trott likely to retire after first innings duck

27-2 Piers Morgan already in meltdown wants to recall someone who hit 170 in an Under 12 game on Sunday.

Our skipper is still in great form with the bat too

34-3 raining Balance unbalanced

[theo_luddite]

Not a great opening session. Need Ding-dong and Rooty-tooty to crack on a bit after lunch. Windies bowlers well on top at the moment.
