Leics batsmen flogging us around before the new ball is due

4 overs to go. Normally the old ball would be in Woody's remit, but not today, seemingly

Harte with another 256-7

Harte with another 256-7

Wonder if they'll be out for over 300 or under 300?

[Durhamfootman]

don't even go there

[Durhamfootman]

one more over from Steel and then we'll take the new ball straight away, I reckon

Yep. New ball taken.

[Durhamfootman]

no early breakthrough. 300+ looking more likely

270-7

I'm sure we'll put this store into perspective when we have a chance to bat on it.

[Durhamfootman]

and now the boundaries are flowing freely

284-7

[captaincolly]

Wood with the 8th wicket but they're only 7 runs away from 300.

The might get 350 ( or more!) at this rate. 314/8. I suppose we'll have to reserve judgement until both sides have batted but letting this lineup score 300 plus seems very poor to me - especially if conditions are helping the bowlers.

Flat pitch according to Marty and several slip catches put down.

Flat pitch sounds encouraging for our chances tomorrow! Places up for grabs next year and a few of this lineup are vulnerable.
Not that I'm predicting we'll score a lot of runs because that'd definitely put the mockers on!

[Durhamfootman]

well lets hope they drop their catches too.

Never mind 350, they might fancy another 400.......... they only get the opportunity against us

[Arthur Crabtree]

18-5. Curious bowling figures with Dexter five overs all maidens. Abbas has given all the runs away, but taken five wickets.
