who could have predicted that?

Jones is out now, but Coughlin is closing in on a 100..... not bad for a bloke who barely scored a run for us for 2 years

Lancs declare, Coughlin gets his ton, we need 336 tomorrow. Clearly Lancs don't think we'll get them

150 too many, I reckon, especially as Lancs have replaced their spin option Shetty with wicket keeper Bell, just to make us look bad when we get bamboozled by his even more part time offies, than the original part time offie's offies

Yes and the forecast tomorrow suggests it'll be cloudy with occasional showers. If those showers aren't more than occasional I think our goose is cooked.

Hmm!

Hmm!

Never in doubt!
And great decision to bowl first. Remarkable victory? I just didn't think any other result than a Lancashire win or backs to the wall draw was possible. Think it's the highest 4th innings run chase at the Riverside. Gay making a compelling case for England selection.

Has to be one of the most unlikely wins. Campbell saying the decision to bowl first was because the pitch gets better during the game and conditions early on were helpful but we didn't bowl well. They have been proven right but crikey- to win after being 120 odd for 7 in the first innings and after the two old boys partnership in their second innings was something special.

Hope you're having a good trip.

Women tied with Yorkshire who looked set for victory then had four run outs! The final one off the last ball.
