Yorkshire bowl out the opposition for a little over 200 in double quick time on day one and here we are waiting for day four and nothing has happened. This season has never got started.

End of Day 3, and its hard to see how any of our matches can reach a result after being destroyed by the weather.

Even captains contriving a result seems out of the question - without one captain being accused of throwing the match anyway!

At Derby, the only slight chance of a result would have needed Essex to lose a handful of wickets before the close, but at 85/1 they have the solid foundations to bat out a draw.

No play possible at Scarborough, so their its just about how many batting bonus points Yorks can accumulate.

Kent declared as soon as the 4th batting point was in the bag, but Leicester declined to collapse. Here its all about how many bowling bonus points Kent can earn.

For Hants, a great round of matches to miss out on. Effectively their shock defeat by Leicester has been nullified by the weather, and they go into the final two matches of the season still with a good chance of promotion.

Something I doubt would have been the case if all these matches had seen 4 full days-worth of cricket.

Bad day today, two 'contrived' (aka fixed) results have gone against us with wins for Yorkshire and Kent.

1. Derbyshire
2. Yorkshire (-19)
3. Kent (-23)
4. Hampshire (-25)

Kent (a) , Hampshire (h) to finish - one win or two draws seals promotion I think...
