Lancashire 214-5, Jennings 112*, still 37 behind. Not sure what Bell brings to the batting, out for 19, and 12 in the first innings.

Edit : I knew it, I just knew it, Jennings out for 112. Innings defeat now a near certainty, so depressing, heads must roll. The forthcoming AGM should be interesting.

Shocked, all out for 248, lost by an innings and 3 runs. Jennings 112, next highest score 26 ! Craptastic.

There IS someone worse than Lancashire.

This is a terrible interview, not my fault guv laced throughout. Full of contradictions and passing the buck, surely a dead man talking. The truly amazing gall of the man who with his record is blaming everything and ever had himself. Listening to it you wouldn't know he is the official head coach.

Nice work by the opener to take the shine off the new ball

…don’t understand why a club can’t recruit and develop youngsters. Surely it’s not a case of either/or.

I’m utterly bemused by this. He’s thrown the team under the bus, just trotted out a handful of obvious lies, and taken zero responsibility for what he has done

He, somehow, has the second biggest job in all of county cricket despite winning, what, 4 games ever? I’d be thanking all my lucky stars, not acting like Justin Langer

Is it a coincidence that the Club AGM takes place tomorrow?

Of course

Is it a coincidence that the Club AGM takes place tomorrow?

Of course it isn't, don't be silly. I look forward to the next 'worldwide' search for a head coach by the board, because they did such a sterling job last time.
