50 up for Jonesy

[Durhamfootman]

14 fours for Jones in his 78*

we are 132-0 and it's raining

we have sensibly been watchful when RTJ and the overseas are bowling (of which I approve) and scored elsewhere whenever we can. Looks as though the rain is in for the next few hours, so there might not be too much more play today

Yes, looks very gloomy.

100 for Jones. I was going to say yesterday that I'd have picked Dickson instead of him!
217/1 would normally suggest it was a terrible decision to bowl but this is an abnormal season where 400 ( or 600 in Leicestershire's case ) is below par.

[Durhamfootman]

is Dickson fit again?

Looks as though we are planning to bat for 4 days and not bother with any of that bowling malarky

[Durhamfootman]

Jonesy's upping the tempo, presumably with a 4th batting point in mind

[Durhamfootman]

although with 30 runs in the last 3 overs, maybe he has half an eye on max batting points..... 7 an over from here would do it

Yes, was in the squad.
I missed the run out, we seem to have had a few lately- and Lees not responsible for them either!

[captaincolly]

50 partnership in 45 balls.

[captaincolly]

There are still 41 overs to go! Franklin and North might dodge the bullet here because I can't imagine many will stay for the forum. Maybe they will reschedule it!

[Durhamfootman]

I hadn't spotted that Dicko was in the squad. It makes sense to leave him out while Lees is back, especially considering that we're not playing for anything other than pride.... perhaps he wasn't really in contention yet and was only named in case we needed a concussion substitute

4 batting points is definitely on, the 5th looks too far out of reach... and they're academic anyway for another season

[Durhamfootman]

Have you got your 'Frankly n we want you and North out!' placard superglued to your hand ready for later?

[Durhamfootman]

blimey... I'm rubbish at biting/witty/topical/cutting edged slogans

I'll give my mate Dom a ring, if he ever gets back from the opticians. He'll come up with something better.... 'take bat control' 'get North done out' or something

I don't think I'll make it. Going to watch the WC semi final!

[Durhamfootman]

me too. All eyes are on Bramall Lane
