North group: Derbyshire v Nottinghamshire (Trent Bridge); Durham v Yorkshire (Chester-le-Street); Leicestershire v Lancashire (venue tbc)


Playing conditions for the Bob Willis Trophy
In light of the shortened fixture list, eight points will be awarded for drawn matches, up from the current five points, while all other scoring remains unchanged.

In a bid to reduce injury risk, there will be a minimum of 90 overs of play each day, down from 96.

First innings can last no more than 120 overs per side, while the follow-on has been increased from 150 to 200 runs.

The new ball will be available after 90 overs, 10 overs later than normal.

Maybe should have raised points for a win rather than points for a draw? Force teams to go for the results

It's easier to spread out in the four day games which would make more sense

Agreed. They are two some test county games and maybe they will let some Durham fans in.

Gutted I don't know people that go it's a trek on the bus like from Sunderland

 

[Monument View]

As far as I am aware but I may be wrong it is that no actual crowds or attendance will be allowed but all games are to be streamed

Always go via the back way, via burnmoor and the golf. Straight down from Sunderland, onto CLS there’s always a build up at the big A1 roundabout on to the ground.

Aye we do when in the car, hopefully get dropped off so can both have few beers, not sure it's going to be allowed anyway

Spot on.

What if you sit on the wall at the edge of the ground? Or use ballantynes and watch from there?

Or the scenario where its deemed to be safer to maybe book a table at The Sticky Wicket for a meal and watch the live stream from inside a pub than to watch it in the fresh air while social distancing.

How can you fail to social distance in a crowd of 500 people in a 17,000 stadium?

Apparently Warwickshire are allowed spectators as a 'trial'.

Surrey are allowed 1000 members in for their friendly this weekend -lets hope its a success and we get yet another U turn.
