Critchley started season steady

I am thinking of getting a few tickets for the T20 Blast - can anyone recommend a good stand?

I'm a member we go in eagles area near pitch as good value seats.The Tom Pearce upper is probably best view but if its a very hot day the lower is better for some

The Eagles area is not guaranteed seating though - correct?

I am taking three octogenarians so they will need to sit.

Was a treat to see Jimmy Anderson bowl last bit of the day.Class act

Just a brilliant, brilliant player. Fantastic action. One of the all time greats. I will miss him when he retires at 80.

That's right you aren't given a seat but I have always got one but allocated seat probably better for you.I like Tom Pearce stand

Absolutely terrible after tea.The weather forecast is very bad next few days so a draw seems likely

Depends what you're after.

I like to sit as straight on as possible whilst being near the bar and toilets, so I go for Greene King IPA Stand (blocks 13-16) or Taco Bell Stand (block 26). The latter is tiny so ideal for accessing facilities.

T20 is allocated seat so get there whenever you like but 20-30 mins prior is best if want time to get a pint and be in your seat for the first ball.
