Somerset lose 3 wickets in 15 minutes this morning. 169/8.

 

Eng V Sa second game . SA won the toss , put us in to bat . 16-1 after 5.2 overs .

 

70-2 after 13 overs .

 

Root the third wicket down....bad luck, ball hit wicket after the merest touch from the bowler and he was caught out of his crease. Getting a bit bogged down at the moment. 109-3 after 23 overs. RR-4.74

 

154-3 after 30 overs. RR = 5.13.

 

So unlucky that was

 

Hello, Yoda.

 

My brain is off today. Just stopped gardening for lunch and I'm tired!

That's my excuse for being a numpty today anyway!

 

What about the other days?

 

I just argue with people trying to hide the stupidity

 

Hampshire 56 - 0 at lunch lead by 21 runs.

 

England 241-4. 8 Overs to go. Stokes on 92. Buttler 23.

 

Ton for Stokes.

Out for 101

 

England finish on 330-6

 

SA 155-2 after 26 overs. We need some wickets....and quickly.

 

SA 328-5 England win by 2 wickets....looked like we would lose until a great final over from Wood (going for only 4).

 

Cracking game. Easily the best ODI I've been to in person.

 

Brilliant day. Seven hours spent sitting at the Rose Bowl watching a brilliant ODI, whilst having an exceptionally fast-paced Hampshire match in my ear. Tomorrow looks certain to produce a result - hopefully that too will just fall in our favour.

 

Opportunity today to move right in behind Surrey and Essex at the top of the table (with that game seemingly heading for a draw). Or to turn next week's match at home to Warks into a massive relegation head-to-head.

(Beat Somerset today and Warks next week, and relegation fears will almost be put to bed just six games into the season. But lose both, and we'll be in a whole heck of trouble.)

 

Breakthrough!
