I am delighted to talk to you all again at a really important time in our season.

The Metro Bank One Day Cup has restarted and we have qualified for the T20 County Cup Finals Day on Saturday, which we are looking forward to.

We are very honest in our dressing room, and we gave them twenty runs in extras with the ball and with the bat we could have run harder between the wickets, and it ended up being a tighter game than it should have been.
