69-4 at the half way point

well these two are doing a job for us. 113-4 after 15

not much in the way of big shots, but lots of one's being turned into two's with the occasional big shot.... more than one way to skin a cat

Ackers brings up his 50 off 35 balls and is opening his shoulders now

Raine falls with the score on 133, but he's done his job feeding Ackers the strike

The corporal comes in at 7

153-5 after 18

Ackers moves onto 77 off 46

Jones comes to the party. 17 off the 19th over and the score is now 170-5

target is 186

that's a remarkable fightback from us. I can think of far too many occasions where we'd have ended up at 119 all out from where we were

90 off 52 from Ackers with 4 fours and 5 sixes. At the half way point he was on 15 off 16. Neither he nor Ben Raine panicked, they just rebuilt slowly and then steadily increased the pace. There were a lot of two's in that innings.

we're underway again

lets hope BdL doesn't go at 20's an over

Parky is straight in and strikes with his 3rd ball. Caught by Jones (blimey!)

changed to 'caught Lees'... that sounds more likely

BdL has a wicket in his first over too... clean bowled

Craig Ervine is coming to the crease.... that feels like a blast from the past ........ 38 seemingly

17-2 after 3

Parky stayed on

BdL replaced by Ackers. 3 only off the over

Young Luke goes for a few

feels great watching the cricket scorecard going around again

feels like Spring isn't too far away

Ackers strikes... the hapless Ervine lbw

32-3

Sowter comes on. Interesting that we bowled 4 overs of spin in the PP

Everyone knows that I like pace 'off' the ball in T20, so being able to field 3 spinners makes me happy

40-3 after 7

Marumani is making a nuisance of himself, but Eagles are only just about keeping up with our early pace and we only accelerated from this point onwards
