A huge match in the @AuthorsCC book cricket tournament is about to get underway. @peterfrankopan's Khans XI (key player = Genghis Khan: 4 wickets & 88 runs) vs @SebastianFaulks' Jane Austen XI (Darcy with 4 wickets in the last match very much the man to watch).

"Selectors keep the faith with Fanny Price even though her wobblers unnecessary last time out. You really can't argue with her record in this format."

Team news there from @SebastianFaulks #KhanVsAusten

Latest news: the Khans are batting and in the first over are already 0/1. Maajid Khan lbw for a duck against Frank Churchill. #KhanVsAusten

Khans wobbling at 100/6. Kublai just out for 2. Emma teasing the batsmen with her floater.

Some low order big hitting from Chaka seeing the Khans to an unexpectedly large total. 220/8 off their 35 overs. A big ask for the Jane Austen XI - but that’s the glorious uncertainty of top flight book cricket for you! Anne Elliott with a lot to prove... #KhansVsAusten

And here comes Anne Elliott, onto the biggest stage of all, with the ball needing a fair degree of persuasion to go to the boundary rather than hitting the wickets. Jane Austen XI are currently 13/3, with Cpt Wentworth just out for a duck. #KhansVsAusten

Anne Elliott hooks Genghis Khan for 6, but then is lbw to Shadab for 39. Jane Austen XI 77/4. Emma comes to the wicket: out for a duck in the previous match, but good at manipulating the ball. #KhansVsAusten
