Of all the pricks on all the world. I’d forgotten about that abandoned game at Yorkshire from earlier this season. Those extra points would have come in handy now too.

It's on the Lancashire cricket website or here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWt0oNeRWuM

Yeah I've watched loads of County Cricket this season, its been great. Each club seems to have their own You Tube Channel and all of the games seem to be live now.

Is there an 'as it stands' table for Division 1? Struggling to work out how the bonus points have affected things.

BBC live text has been quite useful for keeping up with things and explaining what's going on.

196 for Lance to win and be guaranteed top 2. It would win them the title of Somerset can avoid defeat at Warwickshire.

Tom Bailey finished with 7/37.

They’ve just gone off for bad light but so much time in the game. Will be tough, needs to be the highest innings of the match but they’ve given themselves a chance.

Decent start, 17-0 but Davies dropped already.

Adam Lyth ending the season as he began it with a century. Most helpful to Lancashire - sorry, the "Lancashire gobshites" as we're apparently meant to say.

Warwickshire didn’t get the last bonus bowling point v Somerset.

Means Hampshire will win County Championship if they beat Lancs.

If Lancs win they’ll have to hope Warks don’t beat Somerset

Somerset have batted well by their recent standards. Whatever happens from here Warwickshire will need to bat into tomorrow to set a target so there’s a reasonable chance they don’t win the game, or even lose it by setting a generous declaration.

Afternoon all. Well this is exciting, isn't it?

Just had one go past him. Unluckeee.

[Crosby Nick]

Both openers gone in quick succession. Eurgh.

[liversaint]

jaysus. pressure on now

115 runs with 8 wickets left.

In a nothing-on-the-line-no-pressure game, you'd expect them to stroll that, but....

just aim to get to tea without further damage. Then take the light if needs be later.

Literally as i posted down goes number 3. Kinell.

[Elzar]

3 Wickets down and 84 to win.

[Nobby Reserve]

3 Wickets down and 84 to win.

4 down and 78. Tea.

Every time we've begun to look comfortable, we lose a wicket or two.



I see those admirable Yorkshire chaps are putting up a fight (not that Notts can catch whoever wins in Lancs & Hants)

Nerve wracking isn't it? But great to watch, it feels like a wicket could go with every delivery!

[Crosby Nick]

4 down? I was on a call with the steam on YouTube and saw it was 3 down, then I looked again and it was Tea. Who’s out?

Bailey has been our best batter in recent weeks, hopefully he can see us home from down the order!

Didn't realise that you worked with locomotives.

Wells gone, shame as he was playing well. Very strange watching it on You Tube as there is a big delay on the scorecard updates.

[Yorkykopite]

Pretty tense, eh?

[Nobby Reserve]

52 now required.

Looks like Vilas in anchoring, with Croft going after the bowlers.

Good tactics.

At work so cannot watch it.     Keeping my eye on the live score though

[Yosser0_0]

Getting to that tricky stage now for Hampshire, keep attacking or put the pressure on by stopping the runs?

[Yosser0_0]

Croft gone - big wicket.

[Joseph-Immanuel Queen]

5 down. How are your nerves?

[Crosby Nick]

Incredibly tense! Should win from here but every time it looks like Lancs are on course they lose a wicket or two.

The weird thing is this could al be an anti climax if Lancs win and then Warwickshire win tomorrow.

[Yosser0_0]

 

They've just mentioned the Aigburth shithouses porta-loos on commentary! Apparently there are 8 of them.
 

[Crosby Nick]

That Hampshire commentator keeps crying in the wickets. He should be on RAWK with mockers this good.

[liversaint]

Edge of seat- and i'm only following on live updates..

Warwickshire going for it. They're 51/0 off 13.

Sibley has a run rate of 62. He'll surely be getting a nosebleed soon if he keeps that up.

Seems a benign pitch there, so you'd hope Somerset could see out a couple of sessions. Depends on whether Warwickshire gamble with a tempting target - go too big and Somerset will just dig in. Too small, and they risk losing and finishing 4th (and missing out on the Willis Trophy game)

Tricky balance but you think they’ll gamble in the win. Woakes is playing so they’ll fancy it, Somerset don’t have anything to play for.

Will be a weird one if Lancs get home here. Won’t be able to celebrate fully, will all be a bit United at the Stadium of Light in 2012, but with an overnight stay!

[Yorkykopite]

This is Lancashire's. Congrats.

Don't congrats them yet, they've got to win the final first!

That’s not the main event is it? End of season Charity Shield.

Just seen the score, didn't realise Somerset had scored 389. That's hopefully a good sign as their batting has been awful and I assumed that they would get skittled.

[Nobby Reserve]

Surprised Lance didn't send Bailey out instead of Lamb. Bash a quick 20 to put us on the verge if victory. Still some dangerous balls coming through, and if both Vilas and Lamb get out with 15-20 still needed...

[Yorkykopite]

I was trying a bit of Mockers Welsh! You've gone and ruined it.

[Yosser0_0]

SIX down now.

Feels like the Trent Bridge Ashes Test of 2005!
