79-4 and nearly 11 overs gone

Don't worry Poynter is in now. Wonder if the pace on the ball in the power play meant the start we got was not typical for the pitch. We better hope so.

who would have thought that it would be spin that kills us?

apart from everyone that is

with a bit of luck we might make it to 3 figures

Mills Archer and Jordan to close out the innings. :facepalm

100 up with 5 overs to go so 150 will take some getting.
In the lounge and the TV replay has the Stokes lbw pitching outside leg stump.
Archer back on and immediately takes a wicket! 100/6.

Free hit off Archer goes for 0 runs and it's another no ball but still no runs!!

by **captaincolly** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 7:42 pm

133 with an over to go. 140 might give us a very slight chance.

by **captaincolly** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 7:46 pm

Hopeless last over until the last ball went for 4 to take the score to 140.

by **captaincolly** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 8:01 pm

Good start - 4 from the first ball but Salt out from the third ball.

by **captaincolly** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 8:16 pm

28-2 after 4. Wright out to Wood. Maybe there's a chance but it'll take some great bowling and fielding.

Terrible over from Rimmington just need 92 from 15 overs so snookers already required!

And now he drops a sitter!

No chance now barring a miracle. Might leave soon to beat the rush.
Really awful performance after such a great start.

by **captaincolly** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 8:39 pm

And now Whitehead bowls a full toss above waist height.

by **captaincolly** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 9:01 pm

Decided to stay in case there was a miracle. 21 runs required from 5 overs now. :horse

As bad a performance as possible - almost unbelievably bad batting after Stokes was out and then a hopeless bowling and fielding display.

by **captaincolly** » Fri Aug 24, 2018 9:12 pm

Pressure on Sussex now. A wicket for Smith and still 5 runs needed from 2 overs. :lol:

Make that 1 run needed from 11 balls!
