Somerset in trouble- if they lose, we're pretty much safe. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Isn't this normally a really high scoring ground, though?

Definitely not a high scoring pitch.

Hill should be at no.3 over Mike,  scrivo IMO he'd offer alot at this level.

Thomas has said he will only play with 6 bowlers in case anyone gets injured and that’s that. Which is stubborn but also shows the squad lacks depth. Fortunately most of our bowlers can bat.

[Lionator]

Every innings poor Hamza has had to play for us so far has been a rebuild job.

There’s pretty much zero chance we don’t qualify even before today but first place would give us such an advantage as our semi opponents would’ve played 2 times before we play the semi next Sunday. It would be a shame to throw top spot away now. 

[RizLCFC]

Ben Green seems to be able to bat on this deck quite comfortably.

Yeah you're right, Somerset play Lancs last so we're all but through. 

 

Wouldn't give up on top spot yet- provided we bowl properly, I think we're just about competitive on this pitch.

[Bert]

Certainly a defendable total this. 

[HowardsBulletHeader]

Shaikh and Green have made a decent score out of this, brilliant from the pair of them.

[StanSP]

Shaikh is too good.

Brilliant signing. He's absolute quality 

[Ted Maul]

Good total in the end. Think we've picked a good bowling unit for the conditions, pace off is key.

[Bert]

Getting pumped. Typical they’ve got Muyeye back for this one. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Needed early wickets to have a chance of defending this total. All about limiting damage to the NRR from here.

[Blueman1967]

Need wickets, this is looking too easy

They have a good top order. Need to get rid of Northeast and Bell-Drummond, if one of these bats through they'll win it.

Might not matter Notts and Lancs struggling atm

[Sunbury Fox]

Think this is lost. Just need to ensure we protect the run rate as much as possible. 

[Blueman1967]

Got a wicket, follow it up, with a few more

[Lionator]

Warwickshire and Glos doing us a massive favour by the look of things. 

[LBTufty]

Glos were cruising home until losing 3 wickets in no time. They've very little experience in their locker, I'd say that game's 50/50

Kent seemed to get more out of the wicket than our guys. Not impressed with Rizki, very erratic for slow spin

Didn't get enough, when we batted, they look in control
