G 67 - 6 12.1 overs

 

Game over now. It goes back to that crazy hour where the top 4 all threw their wickets away in the first innings.

 

Qualify from Turner (again). What a debut campaign.

 

G 105 ao

 

Narine pretty much always throws in one innings like that per season. Over to you, Essex.

 

H 9 - 1 Mac out

 

It very much depends on what both the wickets and the weather looks like for the rest of this series, but I wonder if we've just witnessed Jimmy's last test match?

He's averaging a massive 75 with the ball from these first two tests. In fact, I think he's dropped as many catches as he's taken wickets.

 

H 27 - 2 Prest out. 5 Overs

 

After losing a wicket first ball, Leicester are now flying in the run chase vs Notts so far. That could leave Notts vulnerable from either Northants or Derby - albeit neither are doing particularly well so far.

 

Absolutely. Smart cricket albeit a bit questionable on the spirit. If we’d been smarter, especially 1st innings batting we would probably won? Bastards!

 

Hawks doing well & look good for win (fingers x’d). Strange they’ve given Kent the luxury of seeing what Essex & to a lesser degree us achieve before their TV game. Nuts really. £ rules.

 

Good 50 from Pepper. Essex really should win from here.

 

Go Essex!

 

Well done, James. Amazing number of 50+s in the group stage this year (8).

 

H by 8 wickets

 

He’s sort of Hawks JWP only better (lot). Nice 4 to finish. Hope Essex win & we get home QF.

 

Quite possible that Lancs might win their game, but drop down from 2nd to 3rd. Because Worcs are looking like they might boost their NRR.

 

Essex doing their best to throw this away.

Which may or may not be a good thing.

 

Oh wow

 

Of all the people you thought would have caught that, it was Jordan. Literally the difference between losing and winning that match.
