County Championship Week 2

8 LV County Championship matches take place this week, four beginning today and four tomorrow, including the Champions Durham kicking off their title defence.


LV County Championship: Division One
Nottinghamshire v Worcestershire, Trent Bridge (Tuesday)
Sussex v Lancashire, Hove (Tuesday)
Durham v Yorkshire, Riverside (Wednesday)
Warwickshire v Hampshire, Edgbaston (Wednesday)

LV County Championship: Division Two
Gloucestershire v Essex, Bristol (Tuesday)
Kent v Northamptonshire, Canterbury (Tuesday)
Derbyshire v Surrey, Derby (Wednesday)
Middlesex v Glamorgan, Lord's (Wednesday)

Hampshire will look to build on the good start they made last week during their visit to Edgbaston. Ian Bell helped himself at Taunton and it will be interesting to see if the notoriously mercurial number three can carry that on. All the other matches last week, mainly due to the weather, ended in draws but with good weather forecast for the next few days we should begin to see some results filter through. Keep an eye out for the game at Hove which, if history is anything to go by, should be a cracker.
