Let’s hope the balance is restored when we start bowling!

Bit of a send off for Handscomb. Really bad sportsmanship. Conway.

I’m expecting Patel in for Kimber and Hull for Scriven, though I wouldn’t be entirely surprised to see either Alex Green or Walker ahead of Hull. No mention of Trevaskis in the squad.

An interesting contrast in batting performances at the end of the day. Last evening, Leicestershire batted for 29 overs with a score at stumps of 120-1, whereas Lancashire, tonight, after 8 overs, are 16-3! Happy days!

Two early wickets for Ian Holland. What a great signing he is turning out to be!

PS Look what happened to Durham when they made a “sporting” declaration!

Still a good result for us. Maximum bonus points and another very satisfying performance. And we are still top of the division. Onwards!

So, Jewell is no longer sparkling! Important wicket that!

I was at Chelmsford last week for the Essex opening day and they had 2,500!

At least its free again. And its much more readily accessible being on YouTube .

Nine down. Can you hear the drums Fernando?

Well, he’s got a central contract so that’s surely how it works!

Remember that Alfonso has made it clear that his philosophy is to use loan players to top up the contracted players. Currie has gone back to Hampshire but expect to see a replacement for him and Green and Goldsworthy too. They were all pretty useful.
