Is there an 'as it stands' table for Division 1? Struggling to work out how the bonus points have affected things.
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.
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.
I think Jookie might just be the best fisherman on this thread.
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
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....
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks
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)
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!
52 now required.Looks like Vilas in anchoring, with Croft going after the bowlers. Good tactics.
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.
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)
This is Lancashire's. Congrats.
Don't congrats them yet, they've got to win the final first!
SIX down now.
