Calmed down a lot now.

314 behind. If we can escape the follow on, a draw would be a great result.

Any rain about in the Shire?

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

The difference between the 2 sides is 3 Worcestershire batters made hundreds and our batters when set don’t turn 50’s into 100’s, still have a chance of avoiding the follow on though.

[HaroldBazBo]

Can't see the last 3 surviving the new ball and clipping away 120 runs to avoid the follow on but the closer they get, the more likely Worcs will look to bat again. A decent rear guard putting overs in their legs.

Forecast is for rain this afternoon.

No it isn’t.

[EastAnglianFox]

That'll be that then, 3 down already following on

[HaroldBazBo]

Famous last words but if these two stay together the Worcs bowlers may bowl themselves into the ground. Wicket looks decent.

At least we haven't completely capitulated. In the past this would have been over by tea. Odds are we will lose but it's not all been bad.

True but frustrating that we've failed to follow up that great away win at Hove. Seem to be better away than at home.

Ackerman goes in the 60's.

 

How many times are they going to get in and not convert big.

I don't think we help ourselves by tending to produce pitches which favour batsmen when we're a much better bowling side.

There doesn’t look like they’ll be a home win in any of the 9 games in this round of games.

This is true but the toss rule has put paid to any home advantage by having bowler friendly pitches, we’d get put in and get skittled out.

True. I'd fancy our chances much more in a low scoring game though- we just don't have the batsmen who can go on to make massive scores on decent pitches.

If you prepare a batsman friendly pitch, don’t bowl on winning the toss too and let them control the game from the off. (Easy to say with hindsight to be fair though.)

Yorkshire 30-3. Taylor with all three!

We've done well to let them finish on 379-7 from that.

We’re not getting them 

if we’d been 30-3 we’d of been 180 all out

Both Surrey and Glamorgan have been thrashed by well over 100 runs, Lancashire close to doing similar so we aren't alone today.

Why is Dexter not playing? Have I missed something?
