County Championship Division 1 Thread 2016

[Arthur Crabtree]

Surrey always seem to find a way to lose though.

Yorkshire are on the field and need to break this parnership.

I think Yorks, Notts and Somerset are the only top division teams without their own thread. Somerset struggling against the Middx tail.

150 stand for the Middlesex 9th wicket!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not for the first time this season.

A few of your lads playing against Afghanistan today.

Yes and Paul Coughlin's brother Josh has been selected for England U19s 4 day games against Sri Lanka.

Surrey always seem to find a way to lose though.

Yes! Three down in a few seconds.

Little batting in the Yorks side though. Need to get Surrey out for under 250.

Bresnan never bowled since his 1st 5 overs yesterday?

Afghanistan all out for 250. McCarthy with 4 wickets.

[Alviro Patterson]

Somerset are trying their best in avoiding defeat against Middlesex. Peter Trego with a splendid 138, whilst the last wicket stand of Leach and Groenewald are hanging in there. A lead of 287 runs with 49.4 overs to go as I type.

[westoelad]

Middlesex set 302 off 46 are making a go of it with 91 -1off 14.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Two wickets in an over from Leach could save Somerset. 30 off four with three wickets.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Craig Overton, ten overs for 94.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Eleven to get off two. Middx should do it.

[hopeforthebest]

Middlesex win as Simpson hit a 6 in the day's last over. Could be a Championship winning stroke. Great stuff.

[captaincolly]

Just checked the score, I assumed it would be a draw!
