Old boy Dan Christian has 63* off 33 balls...Middlesex still need 14.57 an over for 7 overs and 5 down...good luck to him.

Certainly going down swinging

Will be a contender for greatest t20 innings of all time if Christian were to win in from here.

[SaintPowelly]

Shame no-one has batted with him, great hundred though. 49 needed off 20 balls.

[st_brendy]

He's still going. Would really help us with securing a home QF if he could somehow do this.

[SaintPowelly]

29 off 12 balls, this is ridiculous that they still have an outside chance.

[SaintPowelly]

He's still going. Would really help us with securing a home QF if he could somehow do this.

Even if they don't win, Kent haven't got a massive NRR victory..at BEST it'll be the same as our win over them last night.

24 needed off 10.

Christian went down fighting & Griffiths (another Hants old boy) picked up 4 for 22!

[st_brendy]

Sounds like a bit of a dog of a pitch prepared by Worcs today. My betting would be it'll be the same one which they release Ajmal on against us over the next four days.

And totally fair enough.

[SaintPowelly]

I'm not worried, we are stacked full of match winners. with no Moeen Ali and Alan Richardson retiring, they are down to Ajmal and Mitchell.

[SaintPowelly]

I can't imagine any team in the country not batting after winning the toss, so PLEASE win the toss Jimmy.

[SaintPowelly]

hantscricket make 3 changes from side that drew with Derbys. IN Carberry, Maxwell, Balcombe. OUT- Abbott, Wheater, Gatting

Worcs win toss and unsurprisingly bat, Wheater is unwell, or presumably would of played ahead of Bates.

[SaintPowelly]

30/0 off 11 overs, atleast they aren't smashing us about, Balcombe on now.

[SaintPowelly]

BALCOMBE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gets the big wicket of Mitchell for 12..35-1

[st_brendy]

Shame about Wheater being unwell. We'd have had one seriously strong batting line-up otherwise.

That said, Bates did score a 50 last time out.

[SaintPowelly]

Shame we can't have 2 overseas in the same game like we could in 2007, Abbott and Maxwell would be brilliant.
