Delighted and well deserved for Noah and Benky.

Hope they both get a game and make an impact.

Great red ball practice ahead of the Cidermen game next week!

Great red ball practice.

The Pakistan team have spent a month together at a training camp, before leaving.

On the BBC cricket pages this game has been downgraded from "first class" to "minor multi-day match".

That'll be because they'll mix and match who bats/bowls from the whole squad of players. A complete nonsense.

It's for the benefit of the Pakistan team, if they're happy with it then fine.  They should just play it behind closed doors.  The scores are meaningless.
