What is this witchcraft? Sun on the first day of the cricket season? Is this an omen?? 😂

But but I thought no one watched county cricket ? Oh wait…!

Starting games on a Friday is an excellent idea imho.

Good crowd at Lords

A healthy crowd at Lord’s too, though they could have done with more food and drink concessions open. Just the Lebanese Street food van, an ice cream van, a bar, and the tea & coffee bar. They must be able to adjust a few days out from a game. The forecast was always 🌞🌞🌞

Great stuff and 3,500 watching at times on the stream.

Love it or lose it! Time to turn up.

Thank you Elizabeth, that is lovely to see. The weather is great and good sized crowds. It's great to have the Cricket season back.

Tremendous

Some great crowds today!

You gotta love @EssexCricket ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏

Healthy crowd at Taunton as well.

Thank you

In the words of the great Ritchie Benaud "marvellous scenes".

My Dad is there while I have been in back to back work calls since 9. He wins.
