SURREY V LANCASHIRE CC DIV.1 25/06/23

[THEMISSINGLINK]

And they have it ,304 for 9 ,this is getting worrying

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Abbott dropped by Bailey,followed by a six ,315 for 9

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Century partnership for the last wicket 331 for 9 ,a lead of 57 for Surrey

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

350 up for Surrey and another batting point ,getting very worrying now,76 in front

 

[fcblackpool]

All gone boobies up.

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Worrall run out Bailey 51 ,360 all out ,86 in front

 

[Leither]

Blimey that was brutal . . . big session coming up

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Their last game Kent set them 500 and they got it for 5 wickets

 

[straightatthewall]

That last wicket partnership could have won them the game. That said, it's likely to be a pitch where batting last is the hardest. But these next 4 or 5 sessions are going to be critical. Somehow we need to get a lead of 300+.

No chance of that. Looking at 300 max I'd have thought, setting them 215 roughly.

Didn't say it would happen...

As said, that last partnership for them has probably won them the game.

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Jennings c.Latham b.Curran 16 ,25 for 1

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Fifty partnership for Wells and Bohannon ,75 for 1 ,new ball seen off 20 overs left in the day

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Wells c.Latham b.Abbott 30 ,84 for 3,awesome catch

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Mitchell dropped by Curran

 

[fcblackpool]

I looked in at 82-1 and I thought yep, great, parity and 1 down. Double that for 1 more down and we have a chance. Lokk back in 10 mins later and it's not good.

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Went a bit overcast for a while ,lights came on and just seemed harder to bat

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Vilas lbw b.Clark 9 ,112 for 4 ,that we didn’t need

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Just seen the replay and it looked like it would have gone over and he had a fair stride in

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Williams out as night watchman for 4.3 overs

 

[Born_in_the_Fifties]

Vilas lbw b.Clark 9 ,112 for 4 ,that we didn’t need

Fuckin' shocking decision!!

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Close

Lancashire 113for 4 ,a lead of 27

 

[Leither]

Will need a big day of batting tomorrow but we can do it!!!

 

[FedoraExplorer]

Got to hope those remaining 6 wickets can knock around 200 between them.

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Mitchell c.Burns b.Worrall 30 ,145 for 5, how did he catch that

 

[Leither]

Crazy shot from Mitchell.

Not sure Salt can play a sensible innings but let’s see.

 

[bill40]

What is it about Lancs batters getting to 30??

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

The weather has also changed here ,forecast was great for all four days,looks to be more bowler friendly conditions now

 

[voyeur]

186/5 Lancs lead by 100

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Williams has 39 his highest first class score ,190 for 5 ,a lead of 104

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Just increased it to 49 with a 4,0,6,0,0,

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Williams has his maiden fifty ,202 for 5 ,a lead of 116

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Lunch
Lancashire are 203 for 5 ,a pretty good morning,new ball due in another 4 overs

 

[Leither]

Decent morning for Lancs . . . the new ball is coming but these two look well set and the next guy in is an opening batsman.

 

[basilexile]

After his T20 form, Salt owes us a big score. He is more than capable.

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

New ball taken ,next two hours will be crucial

 

[fcblackpool]

Looking quite good to set a target. Then again add 2 wickets as they say....

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

11 wickets have fallen in the first 30 overs of new balls in this match,Defence and stay at the crease js the name of the now

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Williams has done a good job here seeing off 25 overs himself

 

[Leither]

Clouds are breaking up here - suns coming through.

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Salt has his fifty ,233 for 5 a lead of 147

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Salt b.Clark 54 ,240 for 6 a lead of 154

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Balderson c.Sibley b.Abbott 10 ,251 for 7

 

[Leither]

Need to try and rally to a 250 lead here

 

[voyeur]

Need to try and rally to a 250 lead here

Quite a tall order.

 

[NewburyOne]

200 will give us an outside chance. The pitch instead exactly causing a lot of problems, although the new ball has obviously helped.

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Williams c.Smith b.Worrall 61 ,263 for 8 ,a lead of 177

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Awesome effort from Williams to stay there for so long

 

[voyeur]

That 130 last wicket stand is going to decide this match obviously. Unfortunately.
