  2. Trent Rockets coach Stephen Fleming:"I'm still listening to people now about who to pick as the first pick. You can pick 20-30 different teams beforehand and it may still not go to plan."

  3. Get Involved

    Jamie Raynor: So far, so good - they've certainly pulled together the great & the good of the game to put this show on the road. You get the feeling many will be after Rashid Kahn as their first pick - I still reckon an Aus player will be Lehmann's.

  4. A very quick reminder of how it all works.

    • Eight teams have already picked one England player and two local icon players.
    • There's over 250 overseas players in the draft.
    • They're allowed a maximum of three overseas players and they'll have 100 seconds to make their pick.

  6. I mean, Mitchell Starc is the obvious first pick, surely?

    90mph yorkers searing in at someone's toes? Yes, please...

  7. England Test captain Joe Root and fast bowler Jofra Archer have just been asked who their first pick would be:

    Jofra Archer: "Andre Russell or Mitchell Starc for me."

    Joe Root: "There's some very good mystery spinners in the draft, so it will be interesting to see who people go for first."

    All county cricketers out there at the moment will be thinking of the money but it's also a great opportunity for them to showcase their skills.

  9. Here's TMS commentator Henry Moeran's dream line-up - I'm a massive fan of this, particularly his top four...

  10. Jofra's kit challenge - celebs try to impress England star with photography skills

    This is what happens when you set three celebs a challenge to create the best photograph in their team's Hundred kit.

    Warning: contains haunted houses and canal boats.

  11. Ryan Sidebottom
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Sport

    I think teams will be looking for players that perform well in all three facets. They might have an off day with the bat but still produce a moment of brilliance in the field. They could win you a game.

  12. Daniel Vettori! My hero!

  13. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Sport

    This is exactly what English cricket wanted at the end of a fantastic summer, the world's best players coming to play in this competition.

  14. The head coaches are all sat in pods, analysing who to pick, while the players are upstairs in a cafe with some coffees.

    It looks much nicer than the one they use on The Apprentice...

  15. Jofra Archer remains a hero.

    You could have five different teams wrote down, you just don't know how this is going to go as a coach.

  17. BBC coverage

    Click the big ol' button at the top of this page to watch a live stream of the draft event in London.

    We'll also have analysis of the picks and all the action from TMS commentator Henry Moeran and ex-England internationals Ryan Sidebottom, Graham Onions and Ebony Rainford-Brent.

  18. Who are the most expensive players?

    These six players are the most expensive picks in the draft.

    I guess the only slightly surprising one is Steve Smith - he's the best Test batsman in the world but in a shorter length game, I wouldn't have him on the same level as Chris Gayle and David Warner.

    If teams are smart, they'll snap Mitchell Starc up first. The best death bowler in the business and he's handy with the bat when needs me.

  19. 'English cricket has been crying out for this'

    Ryan Sidebottom
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Sport

    There's some serious talent in the lower price brackets. If you come in and perform you don't know what it may lead to in terms of the IPL and Big Bash. Young England cricketers will be watching the TV thinking what this may mean for my career.

    English cricket has been crying out for this for a long time.

  20. Ones to watch

    Adam Williams
    BBC South

    Keep an eye on top-order batsman Will Jacks at Surrey.

    He has already grabbed a few headlines in the past for making rapid centuries and hits the ball very cleanly and powerfully once he gets going.

    Another that might potentially come into the reckoning as a bit of a utility player is Derbyshire's Fynn Hudson-Prentice.

    He proved to be a very useful part of their run to the Blast semi-finals with his medium-pacers and lower-order batting.
