Surrey are going to win.

Surrey are going to win.

In Harmer we trust

In Harmer we trust

If they were playing at Chelmsford maybe.

Gloucs 201 all out. Nice job from Hants.

 

[Lemons and Oranges]

Glos all out for 201. Follow on coming very soon, I predict

 

[tomw24]

Given Abbas and Barker are warming up I'd say it's safe to say we've enforced the follow on.

 

[Lemons and Oranges]

A good start - Harris out already, so Gloucestershire are 9 for 1

 

[tomw24]

Barks getting in on the act with the ball now. 8 more needed.

 

[Lemons and Oranges]

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

 

[tomw24]

OK, Essex's lead is now defendable. Certainly an awkward looking chase for Surrey.

 

[Oscar Cricket]

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?

 

[SAINTOSPREY]

Perhaps he anticipated taking a catch at midwicket?

 

[st_brendy]

Important wicket, that

 

[SAINTOSPREY]

The Balloon (G-GCCC) has gone up at Cheltenham G 191 - 4 Close.

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.

 

[tomw24]

Yes!

 

[SAINTOSPREY]

Dropped catches lose matches.

 

[tomw24]

Dropped catches lose matches.

I'd say fail to win rather than lose. As we're not losing this one.

 

[tomw24]

Crunch time now. New ball must produce wickets.
