Gloucestershire 2 down against us, and Essex still hanging on against Surrey. A few more wickets at Cheltenham, plus a record last wicket stand at The Oval, and the pendulum could swing towards Hampshire
I wonder why Vince hasn't been fielding at slip as normal, he can't be injured or he'd have gone off the field entirely?
I'm still backing us, but there is real work to do tomorrow. Looks pretty likely that we'll need to bat again. But are we talking needing 25 from two sessions, or needing 180 from 20 overs?
After these 2 and Higgins there's not a lot of batting left. It was a very long day for the bowlers today so they must have been tired in the last hour or two. They can come out out well rested tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised if Gloucs collapsed.
