Such a shame South Africa had to play those tests in New Zealand with their South Africa A squad because Bedingham would’ve been close to qualifying for England now. He should’ve been a certainty if we got to that point. Hes an absolutely sensational batsman. A one Durham army for his entire time in England.

5 wickets for Lancs for Tom Aspinwall. Know nothing about him other than he has a splendidly Lancastrian sounding name.

It was Lyon who got Stokes cheaply by the way. Wouldn’t normally cheer that one but will make an exception today! Lancs in a strong position for once.

Set up for a good finish between Lancs and Durham. Stokes and Robinson at the crease and Durham need 162 more.

Been championing Jamie Smith for England for ages but it really has to be time. They can’t keep ignoring this form. Wicketkeepers that can change games with the bat like he can are like rocking horse shit.

There's a bit of a queue developing for international standard wicketkeepers isn't there? Ollie Robinson at Durham deserves a shout too

James Rew at Somerset looks spectacular as well. Good arguments for just playing them as pure batters. Not like there are loads of non wicketkeepers smashing the door down.

4 centuries in a row for him and 800 runs already this season at 88. County cricket doesn’t get much attention but he’s got to be one of the best long format players in the game now. He’s a cheat code.

Siddle still doing to for Durham too. Younger than Jimmy, but not by much.

After Haseeb Hameed made something like 230 against Lancs the other week, another one they let go, Alex Davies is keeping them at bay for Warwickshire. All while our batting line up is a bit flimsy. Can’t believe those two and Matt Parkinson couldn’t have been invested in a bit more.

Lancs 79-4 in reply to 284. The ground looks empty!  :o

Lancs 149 all out. Absolutely pathetic.

Rain is killing this season. Notts were killed by the weather this week but also got lucky in another one. So many draws, it doesn’t produce a legitimate table by the end of the season.
