Carnage at Old Trafford!

 

150 in 9 overs.

 

Has anyone ever declared in a T20 match?

 

Buttler got out before he could take Livingstone's record. Salt does take Livingstone's record. And to think, with better ECB scheduling, all three of them could have been in Lancs' side for finals day.

 

Sensational Salt! A new England record

 

**** that, Zimbabwe's 344 is under threat. And that was against a country I never knew played cricket.

 

We've really wasted all these free hits

 

YAY

 

Boom. 300

 

300. Wow.

 

Fortuin can feel somewhat OK with figures of 2-52. In any normal game they'd be hideous figures.

 

Just incredible. In the event that SA chase that down, we’ll have seen over 600 runs scored in 40 overs. Phil Salt was simply magnificent though.

 

At one point Williams had conceded 60 runs from 15 deliveries!

 

So, how do you go about chasing 305 in 20 overs?

 

A six every other ball would be enough

 

Nice catch Daws.

 

We could do with some of this hitting tomorrow.

 

Absolutely battered them

 

43 year old Jimmy Anderson will be bowling for Lancashire this morning

 

The Daily Mail is reporting that Somerset are facing up to a 20 point deduction for the pitch prepared against Durham. They should have enough of a gap to avoid being dragged into a relegation scrap though, even if a full penalty was implemented.
