Leicester just lost both their set batsmen in the space of 4 balls ( neither to Ajmal ), but a 1st innings lead looks unlikely.

Bloody hell the way they're scratching around they probably should have enforced the follow on.

I guess we didn't want to risk them getting a lead of 150 or so and us facing Panesar on day 4.

Adams gone for 11 to Bopara

Lead by 187, would like to set them around 350.

Too true plus conditions aren't likely to get any easier. I'm hoping with an older ball and less fresh bowlers we can consolidate after tea to a decent lead.

Thankfully they're building a bit of a partnership again.

Vince moves onto 41 off 46 balls, incredible considering it took him 17 balls to get off the mark.

10 fours in his 46* has certainly helped after all those dot balls!

50 for Vince, and we are 102/2 off 29.1

In comparison, Essex were 93/9 off 31 overs.

[SaintPowelly]

This is going great

127/2 off 32 overs ( 1 run short of 4 an over )

Vince 70 off 69, Smith 25 off 64.

Lead by 292, still 7 sessions to go.

240/9, lead by only 3 runs and will have to bat last vs Ajmal, not good signs.

All starting to kick off at Lords now!

[SaintPowelly]

99 balls for Vince to reach 102

Our 5th ton this season ( 3 for him, 2 for Carbs ), lead by 332

They ended with a 41 run 1st innings lead.

Worcs are 11-0 in reply

Most impressive form by Vince. He must be in the lead for 1000 FC runs?

Counties must reckon that if they get rid of Vince (or Carbs when he's on form) that they have a chance of dismissing us for below 250. If Vince gets called up by England..............
