    Leicestershire 332 & 132-6 v Northants 151

    The rain has been relentless in Leicester for most of the day and so the umpires make the sensible decision to call things off.

  8. Postpublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 10 May 2016

    ...there were in fact 16 scores of 200 or more last season in the County Championship.

    It was topped of course by Kevin Pietersen's unbeaten 355 for Surrey against Leicestershire - an innings which began exactly a year ago today.

    Yep, I've been looking through the stat books!
