I just went to Days 1/2/3. Yorkshire were a thoroughly depressing 8 for 2 at close on Day 3. That is a proper relegation battle now. Just nine points cover the bottom four - although Lancashire in fourth bottom have played a game more.

The lurching continues. Bresnan “rested”. Tattersall spasm. Hodd back from the 2s. No spinner. Somerset asked for a Toss. We won it. Stuck them in anyway. Had them at 5 for 2. Begat 170 for 3 (4th went at 170). They finished just shy of 400.

I did my usual smiley quiz with the lady who served me. Are the beers really made here? (No Kit on show). Upstairs? Downstairs? Is there anything to see? She did the perfect set of replies. Without the “oh, here we go, he's even got a Carrier Bag with him” look. Very welcoming.

Well. That is Nano. I stuck my head in. No one about. But, I didn't want to be arrested as an intruder. So, only quick gander. The fermentation vessels were plastic buckets. Is all I'm saying. Matters. Not. Water. Malt. Hops. Yeast. Good. Job.

There was a public room up there. But, essentially, it's a small one downstairs room cafe cum restaurant cum bar. There were two keg fonts on the bar. One was off. But, it was clearly in the process of being changed. And I was pointed at the bottle list on the blackboard. There were five on there - mix of 500 mils & 750 Bombers. I went for the single keg.

The Hungry Bear, Aurora, keg pale ale at 4.4%. Fresh & zesty. Definitely Lemon coming through. The bitterness was understated. But, hit the spot.
