Need to take another wicket. Aussies could still win this.

 

The over step by Jofra and the missed catch by Buttler haven’t helped.

 

Easily .

 

This is not fun .

 

Incredible batting display

 

Maxwell out

 

What a catch. 10 from 6 needed

 

4 from 5

 

Australia win

 

Why oh why did morgan get Rashid to bowl that final over. Terrible decision

 

What a stupid decision to bowl Rashid in the last over. It was crying out for pace against tail enders. And Mark Wood had an over left.

 

I couldn’t understand it. Root would have been a better option than Rashid, he’d only gone at 5 an over for the 8 he’d bowled, but Wood was the obvious choice against 2 tail enders. An unusual error of judgment from Morgan.

 

Chris Nash is to leave Notts at the end of the season, seems like he wants to keep playing. I know he only has a couple of seasons left in him, probably, but might be a decent signing for Hampshire to solidify the top order a bit? We definitely need to sign another batsman or two.

I expect he'll end up at somewhere like Leics, Derbys or Glamorgan though.

 

Hampshire lost by 9 wickets.

 

Apparently there are over 500,000 people watching the YouTube stream of Somerset v Northants, probably 99% of them in Pakistan waiting for Babar to bat.

Northants 129-6 after 18 so far.

 

There was one man and his dog Hants fans watching their stream earlier....

 

Northants finish on 140-9. Got to be a chance for Somerset, let’s hope Babar Azam doesn’t let his fans down!

 

Babar lbw for 4. There go 499,950 of those live stream viewers!

 

How many of those 50 left in Chilcompton?

 

At least 1!
