Hurrah!.....puts away the bad ball

 

This is more like it.

 

11 in 3 balls...

 

Keep bowling it wide of off stump please.

 

Oh no, strangled down the leg side...bad luck Tom.


Good knock though.

 

Karma for scoring too slowly.

 

Him and Holland put us in this strong position though and tbf he has been our fastest (and top) scorer overall.

 

Jack Leach ruins his efforts as nightwatchman by getting out to Ben Mike.

 

Keep Shaw on please.

 

I would think Hants will want a decent bowl tonight which means declaring soon after tea at the latest. Hants will want 550+ I would think before declaring (if we don't get bowled out) so that does involve shifting up a gear after lunch.

 

Daws has got the message!

 

H 470 all out.

 

Just seen the scores, we got batting points and a first innings lead, and 2 wickets!!!

 

Hampshire guilty of creating a bit of a flat track, sadly. This game has draw written all over it.

 

Breakthrough!

 

G 106 - 2

 

The door has just been slightly pushed open. Gloucs have a really solid top six (it's probably their best feature). But I'd tentatively suggest that they have a bit of a tail on them. So if we can get at least one more, preferably two, before the new ball...

 

Taking a punt that Middlesex will successfully chase 17, to get off the mark this season.

Been a shocking start for Surrey.

 

The supposed other good team in the group (Surrey) have put together yet another wonderful display of inept batting. All out for 130 against Middlesex's array of world class bowlers, leaving the latter with a mere 17 to get.

Just seen your comment Sant Brendy.

 

Long may this continue for them.
