2 down before we starts. Briggs has gone to be at the birth of his child, how selfish is that!

[SaintPowelly]

I was looking forward to him holding them up for abit this morning too, certainly not our game.

[SaintPowelly]

The best way to save this game is by scoring runs, we aren't going to bat all day...going at under 2 an over isn't helpful

[budgetmeansbudget]

It would be nice to get into credit with only 3 or 4 wickets down and then of course every run we score has to be scored by them later in the day.

Poor, Smith bowled by someone other than Ajmal.

[SaintPowelly]

Vince gone for 16, Morris doing the damage. Game over.

[SaintPowelly]

Maxwell hits 4 4s of a Ajmal over, not sure if im happy or worried.

We can reassess the game position after he hits a century of 38 balls!

50 for Carbs

I'd settle for a 100 ball 38...although if he faced 100 balls, I think a draw is guaranteed.

Only just noticed that Carbs passed 11k FC runs in this innings

[SaintPowelly]

147-3(4) at ;Lunch, Carbs 67*(154) Maxwell 38*(28)

Trail by 36.

Still hope there, Maxwell batting quite conservatively for him.

[SaintPowelly]

Just watched the highlights from y/day, Adams got out to the same ball TWICE, almost like watching a replay, Smith missed a pull to the last ball before lunch, Vince played a stupid slog and got caught in the deep, Maxwell and Coles both looked very unhappy with LBWs given against them, Ervine got a beauty.

Certainly seems like we were reponsible for our own demise yesterday.

May be completely wrong but when either Carbs or Maxwell is out, the game could swing on what type of innings Ervine plays. If he digs in for a couple of hours we could be safe, if he holds up an end for Maxwell to attack or shares things with Carbs we could at least get a lead but if he footles around & gets a 6 ball duck or a 20 ball 8 we're doomed, doomed.
