That was against Durham though. High degree of difficulty.

Virtually unplayable!!
If Kholi had to face Rushworth he'd not last long

[Arthur Crabtree]

Four down, but first innings lead will come in handy.

Yes..especially with our batting! Anything other than a calamity comes as a surprise and they've been ok of late so either Bancroft opening has started to solve the problems or they're overdue for another fiasco.
I hope Jimmy is OK but not until Thursday.

Our season has gained momentum at the right time...looking like another innings win here, this time at Notts, who are having an abysmal season

[st_brendy]

Yorkshire went from 187-1 to 250-8 before recovering a little to 327 all out. Still, runs on the board as they say.

Haseebwatch. 24 against Durham. He has that ton this season but hasn't gone past 50 otherwise.

Wonder if it's getting to the point where he needs to move on and make a new start? It seems to have worked for Alex Lees - although now I've said it Haseeb will probably get 200 in the second innings and Lees won't score any runs for the rest of the season.

He's more than welcome to try out a new start on the south coast. Weatherley-Soames is easily the worst opening pair since I've been following Hampshire. Both are a long, long, long way from being good enough.

It's a huge shame really, because our middle order is as good as it's been for a long time. If only they weren't always coming in at 10-2.

As I was saying. Soames bags a pair on a flat wicket! And he was stone dead LBW even before he was later bowled.

Typical!
I think Sussex batting must be even worse than Durham's. Lost to Northants inside 3 days by 393 runs!

[DiligentDefence]

Sussex need 499 to win. Is it sad that I don't feel confident?

OK so I was slightly pessimistic. Good win.

Never in doubt! Sussex must not have recovered from their disastrous defeat against us!

Notts should have given Will Fraine a go in the 1st team, just saying

[st_brendy]

Notts v Essex is very much a case of two sides going in very different directions.

Still half a season for Notts to turn it around of course - and they do only need to move up one place to survive, rather than two - but the way things are going, it looks like they'll surely have one of the best and most expensively squads ever to be relegated.

Yep. Very poor from them and they seem to have been on the decline since the latter part of last season.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Surrey v Yorks has the look of an interesting finish. But the game needs a wicket fairly sharpish I think.

[Arthur Crabtree]

More likely a draw than a Yorks win now.

[captaincolly]

Don't suppose there's any rain about near Lancashire?
