Forecast has the rain returning in about an hour, for about an hour, but then being clear for the rest of the match.

[SaintPowelly]

Let Jimmy get his first ton in 11 months and declare on 400, if they chase it, they deserve it, and they have to try.

[SaintPowelly]

Carbs gone for 81...Smith in at 3...Jimmy needs 6 more, 370 lead.

[SaintPowelly]

Jimmy bowled for 97, his wait for a ton goes on...lead is 385..time to declare ?

[SaintPowelly]

Lead is 400 now, why are we batting ??

[SaintPowelly]

This is stupid.

[st_brendy]

I wanted half an hour at them before tea, so that's still another 20 mins more of batting we can have yet.

I'm comfortable.

Of course if the rain does come, then things change slightly.

[SaintPowelly]

Rain arrives, lead of 422...better not bat on.

And as I type, here the rain is. That might be that for our batting then.

[st_brendy]

Worcs 8 down now. Lead of about 160.

[SaintPowelly]

3:10 tea, 3:30 re-start.

Surrey off for rain too.

[SaintPowelly]

Surrey off for rain too.

Back on though

Glocs set 176 to win.

[st_brendy]

Gloucs need 177 to defeat Worcs.

[st_brendy]

Surrey lose their first wicket. Glammy pass the 100, still only two down.

[Centuryclub]

Presumably Hants will declare during the tea interval?
