I’d still rather be in Hants’ position than ours, even though Leach has finally removed Paterson-White!
Good job we won toss & put Yorkshire in! Ps. I wonder when BBC Sport will update their Championship tables? Still showing 1st group positions!
Yes obviously. Meant if we’d lost toss & were put in, York’s might have blown us totally away by now.
I've only seen the Barker wicket, so can't comment on individual shots etc, but this current scoreline doesn't surprise me. With the wicket and the conditions, it always felt like 150 was par. The maybe add on a bit of "Ballance Tax" to raise that up to an above par 175. But really that should have been top end. 243 was way, way too much to be conceding. 125 or 130 is a touch below par, but nothing horrific. But clearly when it follows 243, it pretty much means there's only one winner from here.
163 all out. 80 behind. Could have been a lot worse. Mind you, it could have been a lot better. Just need to improve our bowling, to keep Yorkshire to a low 2nd innings total. Probably.
