I’m wide awake, it’s mid-day and I’m here, like some kind of non-giving-up cricket guy. Rainhill won the toss and inserted Bootle; two overs have been bowled but not much has happened.

It’s cloudy but pleasant enough; forecast is set fair both here and in Leigh, where Southport & Birkdale are batting. Here’s what matters and why… liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

Rainhill’s Tyler McGladdery and Ross Higham have moved the score on to 7/0; Toby Lester and Will Purser looking for the breakthrough. Hosts without Danny Davies, and Keith Barker is still on Hampshire duty; visitors missing Jamie Harrison and Peter Kelly from their attack.

Autumnal day at Northern, where the hosts can wrap up the @lpoolcomp title with a win over New Brighton. The visitors have been asked to bat and are 15/0 from 4 overs after a nick through the slips by Armand Rabot off Ryan Maddock.

Sorry - Daniel Shillinglaw hit the four; Rabot is the other batter. I’d hate to get complaints.

21/0 from 6 overs, positive start from the visitors. Both Maddock and Tom Sephton have beaten the edge a few times but the batters haven’t been bogged down.

Liverpool v Birkenhead Park today, in Division One. Hosts looking to consolidate at the end of an up-and-down season; visitors aiming for the Prem.

Liverpool are 5/0 in the third over. Very attacking field for Satyajeet Bachhav, the division’s leading wicket taker.

Seam from Alex Baker from the River End; Steve Rimmer and Adam Pickering the batters.

Not one, not two, not four, but THREE freshly minted cricket pieces for you to read while you watch Ollie Pope push a bit too hard at good length balls on fourth stump...

Early breakthrough for Bootle as S&B bat first… JJ Fielding was batting but is no longer, after Will Purser trimmed his bails. 4/1 after 4 overs.

Purser is bowling wicket to wicket, as he does, while Toby Lester from the other end is getting a decent amount of bounce. Tight start from the defending champions; Isaac Lea and Jack Carney at the crease for the hosts.
