County Championship 2023

[Durhamfootman]

only 4 of the Hants batters have faced more than 5 balls up to now

[Durhamfootman]

Bairstow has come out at 3

[Durhamfootman]

and gone back in a few balls later

the cynic in me wonders if he did that deliberately to get his point across to Stokes/McCullum

Actually just opened the stream in time to see him get out - to a pretty loose drive. With nearly 400 runs needed it seems a bit far fetched but can only think the idea was to make a dash for the win ?

Doubt they'll be looking for that now. And bit of a waste for YJB in terms of getting some time at the crease...

[Durhamfootman]

a wicket for the saint........ finally

he might run through the Notts line up now

[Durhamfootman]

Adam Lyth and George Hill are showing Jonny how to do it

[Durhamfootman]

Hampshire are still batting.... remarkably

Sussex have a 4th.... Robinson, of course..... but he might need a rest again soon

[Durhamfootman]

Essex are all out and Surrey need 273

maybe 6 an over to snatch it, which might tempt them, but 50 overs to bowl a side out on day 4 at Chelmsford is almost Harmer's raison d'etre

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sound thrashing for Hants. Against expectation.

[Durhamfootman]

crdit to Vince for managing to get a 50 from being on 1 with 9 wickets down

[Durhamfootman]

Notts falling apart

6 down, with the damage being caused by someone not called Anderson

[Durhamfootman]

tea time... ish

Essex Surrey looking nailed on for the draw

Lancs red hot favourites to win

Northants and Worcs hanging on, but need to hang on some more or the resistance could unravel pretty quickly

Yorks looking good value for the draw

Leics sliding inexorably towards defeat

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hill goes. Glamorgan still have a trace of a sniff.

Surrey in trouble, 6 down for not many

Harmer has 2 for 1 run off 4 overs

[Durhamfootman]

Notts just about clinging on. Hutton has 21 off 125 balls, but Clarke has fallen. 3 wickets to get for Lancs
