A huge match in the @AuthorsCC book cricket tournament is about to get underway. @peterfrankopan& #39;s Khans XI (key player = Genghis Khan: 4 wickets & 88 runs) vs @SebastianFaulks& #39; 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& #39;t argue with her record in this format."

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
