Nearly there, don't think they'll bother taking tea.

13 more needed so tea isn't being taken.

Weirdo

5 required, nearly there

Adams has done well too.

He's still the best we've got at the top of the order.

Back to back wins, should see us safe.

A favour from Notts and Surrey wouldn't go a miss too. Also would prefer Yorks to win against Lancs.

Never in doubt , I don't what everyone was getting their knickers in a twist about

Well done! Must be safe now?

Not mathematically but due to 6 teams being involved in the relegation battle and taking points off each we probably just have to get a few bonus points in our last two games, and try and avoid losing both.

Thanks.

Amazing 2 days or cricket ...at The Oval and in Southampton.

Spot on there Haggis.

You would hope we can survive from here and if we do you would have to say a decent season, with a trophy in the bag and CC1 again next season.

If your focus is on avoiding the bottom two, then I'd much rather that Essex win than Notts. Firstly, because I think Essex are the vastly superior side. Secondly, because whilst Notts have a 7 point lead on Essex going into this match, it is their penultimate game. Yes Essex might lose that game in hand, but if they don't, then they'll be picking up more than those 7 points.

But if you want to finish 3rd, then a Notts win (given that it won't finish a draw, sadly) is a good outcome I'd suggest.

Really not fussed about the Yorks-Lancs game, now that we've won. Whichever side loses is in huge trouble, especially if it's Lancs.

I suspect one draw is sufficient for us now (given that it would come against Yorks or Lancs, and they both need to be winning to catch us), to survive.

poor old Somerset..... makes my heart bleed for them

well done, chaps
