Carse holes out

you see there's this really short boundary and this really long boundary. We seem intent on picking up singles to the short side and trying to clear the rope on the long side

You just know that Lancs will pump the ball over the short boundary and clip the ball to the long boundary for an easy 2 runs

We seem to be doing the exact opposite

152

we'll have bowl really well to defend that with a boundary this short.

step 1..... don't let Coughlin gets his hands on the ball. He'll go for 50 if he bowls his 4 on this ground.... which is a problem, because Gandalf will go for 50 too and so Lancs will only need 50 odd runs off 12 overs

I didn't see the Clark dismissal in real time

guess what?

he holed out

who'd have thunk it?

Davies whacks 2 wide balls along the ground to the boundary then lofts one, held up in the wind and caught by Coughlin

Croft forgets to hold on to his bat. Ball goes up, bat goes behind. thank you and goodnight

lbw!

Vilas gone. O'Shaugnessy correcting the errors of last night, where he wouldn't put up his finger and replays suggested that every one was hitting comfortably

clean bowled!

Potts on a hat trick again

Lancs in chaos

doesn't get his hat trick, but makes up for it by banging one straight into Livingstone's chest

Lancs get a lifeline

Coughlin given the ball

that didn't take long

Six!

followed by..... Six!

Leg stump flies out of the ground as Livingstone moves well outside off to flog him again... but misses

words from the umpire after Livingstone got a bit of a send off

Capt Gandalf starts with two wides and nearly follows them up with a 3rd
