Ishant took 5 wickets but Pujara didn't take the field

When India is busy with the IPL's heat, Indian powerhouse Ishant Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara are busy playing county cricket. In the county 2018, Ishant is playing for Sussex and Pujara is playing for Yorkshire. Pujara's match was forfeited due to rain, but Ishant took 5 wickets in the first match combining two innings against Warwickshire. The interesting thing is that batting at number 10 he scored 22 runs in 29 balls with three fours and one six. Although his team drew the match.

  In the first round, the game was delayed due to rain. The game between Northampton and Middlesex was low-scoring. The brilliance of  Harris (5/9) and Murtagh (4/27) with the ball, Northampton ended up with just 71 runs. They only scored 142 in the second innings as Harris (4/39) and Murtagh (4/36) became their nightmares. Middlesex (214 and 159) though they did not bat well. Northampton's Hutton took 5 wickets for 54 runs in the first innings.

On the other hand, Kent and Gloucestershire's game was also low-scoring. Kent scored only 64 and 153 runs. In reply, Gloucestershire scored 110 and 108/5 and won the match by 5 wickets.

Lancashire scored 158 and 73 against Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire scored 222 in the first innings They needed 10 runs in the second innings. They lose 4 wickets while scoring that run.

Hampshire scored 290 with the help of batting performance from Vince and Bargh (both of them 75). They made 244 in the second innings in which Abbott scored 51. For Worcestershire, Leach took 7 wickets for 97 runs, in two innings. Worcestershire scored 211 (Cox 65) and 127 runs. Abbott took 7 wickets for 90 runs in two innings for Hampshire.

  Warwickshire made 299 with Ambrose scoring 81. Wiese took 4 wickets for 56 runs and Ishant Sharma took 3 wickets for 53 runs. In reply, Sussex lost 7 wickets for 194 runs, but South African fast bowling all-rounder Weise who hasn't played any Test (who in the first-class matches have 9 centuries with more than 4500 runs) scored 106 runs from 105 balls and Brown scored 91. As a result, Sussex made 374. Warwickshire's Oly Stone took 8 wickets for 80 runs. This is his best bowling in an innings in first-class (previously 5/44). Then Warwickshire's second innings was 87 for 3 wickets. Ishant took 2 wickets.

  Essex did not play with Yorkshire. As a result, Pujara did not get out in the field with the bat.

  The first round was low-scoring due to rain. The total of 8 half century and just one century (which again been scored by a bowler means Wiese coming in at 9). Where 7 bowlers took 5 wickets in an innings. In total 16 complete innings, 3 innings were over under 100 runs, and 3 innings under 150. The other 3 innings could not go past 200. And only one innings score was over 300. That means 55% of the innings could not make 200. Actually, the rain in England supports fast or medium pacers, but the players here can play swinging ball. Still, is this event a sign of inefficiency in playing in swing? Does it mean that the players are accustomed to playing in flat wickets only? If so, the upcoming days will be very difficult for cricket. Now, wait for the second round.

 It is known that Virat Kohli is likely to come to play the county when the IPL ends. Former British fast bowler Bob Willis did not make a very good comment. Because after the IPL, there is India's tour of England.

  Meanwhile, Second Eleven and Minor County have been started.
