Rumours that ECB may allow some of Lancs England players to play in T20 QF tonight.

Rumour is Salt might be allowed to play and potentially Gleeson/Parkinson.

Hope it’s true. Surrey were really hampered by losing 4 players this week who have played consistently in their T20 team in the group stage

Lancs have asked for permission, which suggests that it wasn't out the question. Just a few would be nice. On my way to the ground after work, so best be a good evening!

Enjoy mate.

Salt
Jennings
Croft
Vilas (wk/c)
David
Wells
Lamb
Wood
Hartley
Bailey

Plus 1 of Bohannon, Morley, Jones or 1 of the England lads would be my guess.

Should be competitive against a good Essex side

Although in fairness Yorkshire seemed to be without Root, Bairstow, Brook, Malan and Rashid.

Stop bloody grumbling Lanky!

And, being even more fair, I must point out that neither Buttler nor Livingstone actually batted for England yesterday.

Don’t ruin my narrative!

Read recently that Koehler-Cadmore is leaving Yorkshire at the end of the season. Really surprised they are letting him leave. Always impressed with him.

I know David Wiley is going also. He’s been contemplating that for a while based on what I’ve heard.

Touch wood, but it might be a sign of a good crop of local youngsters coming through.

Rashid was his personal choice presumably.

But fair point and a joke all round really that teams with lots of internationals should be penalised.

[Crosby Nick]

Salt stumped Pepper in that innings.

Lancs need 162 to make Finals Day.

[voodoo ray]

as I'm going next saturday (and it actually looks like it might be a nice day) it'd be good to see lancs/yorks in one of the semis. or even the final.

[Crosby Nick]

Now Pepper catches Salt.

Borderline whether he touched the rope.

[voodoo ray]

I don't think he did. Certainly wasn't enough to definitely say that he did.

Great work though

[gjr1]

A shame they didn’t have a better angle

[Crosby Nick]

Reading a few tweets saying you could see the tip of the ‘toblerone’ move. Hard to tell as watching on my phone!

I thought it might have from one angle, but not from another.

So fuck knows, meaning it's out.

[Gerry Attrick]

Lancs should be winning this tournament.

Feels like Yorkshire have their name in the trophy having qualified by default and then somehow won in that final over against Surrey.

[Crosby Nick]

Ohhhh Lancy Lancy!

Am i right in thinking it’ll be a Lancs v Yorks semi?

[voodoo ray]

hope so.

not sure how they work them out.

[Crosby Nick]

Is it a random draw or do they do 2 North v South ties?

[gjr1]

hope so.

not sure how they work them out.

Me either but i think its already sorted

[voodoo ray]

dagnall just said it on telly so it must be true.

[Crosby Nick]

Didn’t realise finals day was next Saturday. Is it not usually August? What a great semi!

Somerset to make the final from the other 3 I reckon.

[bradders1011]

Lovely evening at OT that.

[Elzar]

Was great that!

[Jookie]

Jealous of the people who were there.

Great win by Lancs reserves.

Imagine how good a full strength Lancashire versus full strength Yorkshire would be in the semi final.

ECB missing a trick with the scheduling

[voodoo ray]

some absolutely devastating hitting from zomerzet in making 265. they're gonna win this by an innings

A team will hit 300 within the next couple of years.

[voodoo ray]

A team will hit 300 within the next couple of years.

I don't know about that. It's a long way in just 20 overs.

Pretty telling though that 4 of the highest scores in the blast have been made this year including the top 2.

Well they were 35 off tonight and one of the Derbyshire bowlers had outstanding figures of 2-16. If he gets carted as well, then they’re nearly there.

[voodoo ray]

Just a 191 run win there.

[Crosby Nick]

Whenever I do this I then cause a flurry of wickets but Lancs are currently a tidy 447/2. Doyle hundred for Jennings, 109 for Wells abs Bohannon letting the side down with a meagre 91.

Somerset made 446. Fun in the sun in Southport.

With Hampshire probably winning, Essex winning and Surrey looking most likely to draw, it feels imperative for Lancs to try and force a result.

Not sure how they do that though with only 4 sessions to go and what looks like a batters paradise, with a current lead of 1

30 mins after tea 495/4!

[Crosby Nick]

30 mins after tea 495/4!

Going for quick runs to be fair! Jennings has 250 now.

[Crosby Nick]

300 for Jennings!

[Yorkykopite]

300 for Jennings!

200 to go to beat Lara.

[Crosby Nick]

200 to go to beat Lara.

Couldn’t even beat Neil Fairbrother.  Pathetic.

[voodoo ray]

due to a fuck-up I've got a spare going for t20 finals day on saturday. it's in the south lower stand.

lob me a message if you're interested.

[Nobby Reserve]

Lancs with a very faint chance of victory.

Yaaarksher trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of a certain draw.

[Crosby Nick]

Crikey, Leicestershire just declared on 756/4! Unbeaten 5th wicket partnership of 477! Must be close to an all time first class record?

They had been 0/1.
