As long as they don't repeat the 4 runs off the last 2 overs debacle!

Kent wouldn't have even made it out of the group, if we'd completed that straight forward finish!

I certainly wasn't expecting that partnership from the A team.

And with Lancs looking likely to lose we could be outside the drop zone come the end of this round of matches.

It's all going to crap right now, wickets tumbling. May not get a lead at this rate at 310/7.

Lancs have an outside chance of pulling off a remarkable win as well.

Things have turned round quite a bit in the last couple of hours, we've done well to get a decent lead and Lancs are four down.

We've known all season - and last season, for that matter - that the best of our batting is towards the lower end of the order. Maybe it's why we've gone with many bowlers.

Next week we'll be dropping Weatherley and starting Wood, just to increase the number of bowlers who can bat even further.

what's up with Abbott? He's gone from being a snarling opening bowler to being 2nd or 3rd change

4th change in this match.

It's a total mystery. He's having a complete shocker of the season the ball; hardly taking a wicket, and leaking runs all over the place. If he wasn't Kyle Abbott, he'd have been dropped by now.

Although he does continue to contribute very useful lower order runs, so there is that.

Lancs on the brink of losing so we will be out the relegation zone this evening.

I guess we have a vague chance of winning our game still, but percentage wise can't be more than a 2 or 3% chance.

Up to 10 to 15%!

Ollie Raynor could be a great loan move.

Wasp will be around 0% right now.

Still a chance to bowl Yorkshire out. Just need a wicket. Might be a race against time later on.

It's done, not much point coming out after tea, supper, dinner or whatever it's called.

Bore draw. Pretty negative stuff by Hantsbatting on yesterday after the 110 overs. 50 behind, 5 and 1/2 sessions left, declare and throw down the gauntlet to Yorkies to set a target. Mind if Gale has anything to do with it, Yorkies wouldn't accept the challenge

With our weak batting that would have probably led to defeat, after a fourth innings collapse.

That first innings was as well as we've done in a while, and with York's at 116/4 we were in with a sniff.

Take the draw at the end of the day and out the drop zone.
