320 to win, 4 overs tonight

Survive these 4 and see where we are tomorrow, unlikely but not impossible

We actually won that day. Not as much as Yorkshire won day one, but still.

Only complaint we can really have about our bowling in this match was the Balance-Patterson partnership. Take away those 100 runs, and we are in with an excellent shout of winning this. But of course you can't.

And besides, to just focus on that partnership would be letting the batters of the hook. As much as that partnership is the reason behind this significant run case of ours, so is being is being 75-8. In fact, the latter is much the greater reason in my view. Even if we'd managed to just get 200, we'd at least be looking at a 250 run chase.

320 on a wicket that has seen 30 wickets fall inside two days? I'd give us a one-in-ten chance. The most important thing was not losing a wicket in those opening four overs. Turning to tomorrow, given that it is all about wickets rather than runs (over the course of two whole days, you can block your way to 320 if you're not bowled out), I'd be looking at take it in 5 overs spells. Keep on looking to next through the next 5 over spell without losing a wicket.

Blimey when i last looked Yorks were 109/3 in their second innings.

Another massive haul of wickets for a single bowler and the game has swung slightly.

Still massively in Yorks favour, but two days of sunshine might have made the pitch more placid for us tomorrow? Unlikely!

Hopefully Coad has a poor second innings with the ball and no one else steps up.

You never know Bournemouth might have beaten Chelsea!

The one thing that I don't quite understand is why we didn't pick Chris Wood, he scored a ton for the 2nds last week so is in form and surely it would have made sense to try and get a left armer in the side?

He'd break down again after about three overs.

I'd be very surprised if he bowls a single ball for us in the Championship this season.

Don't want to get too excited just yet, but we'll rarely get a better to chance to beat Yorkshire or finally start the season with a win. Long way to go yet still though.

You don't want to be critical because of this start, but getting caught on the boundary during this run chase...

217 needed with 9 wickets in hand at lunch.

Probably still 50 50 as a flurry of wickets are still possible at any time.

Hope the weather is as nice as it is down here, warmest day of the year so far and all that.

Got all the time in the world to get these runs but it seems they are going for a fairly aggressive approach right now.

Obviously Vince knows no other way!

I wouldn't put it at 50-50. I'd say 60-40 to Yorkshire.

Get through the first 20 mins after lunch without losing a wicket - as no doubt Coad and Bresnan, Yorkshire's only two wicket-takers in the match so far, will both open up - and then I'll agree it's 50-50. Even if we only score about five runs in that time.

I don't want to say it, but I think you have to admit that we're favourites to win from here now. Cue a stack of wickets.
