Need to bat better than last year.

I think Maxwell should help with that and hopefully Hameed maintains his form

Hameed batting well today. Looks measured in his decision making and nicely balanced (he'll get out now).

I hope it's a sign of a return to form, because he has petered out a little after such a great start to his Lancs career.

Lancashire 165-3 (100 behind), Hameed nearing his century (91), Maxwell out for 1.

 

[summerisle]

A double century and a century in his last two matches.



Lancashire currently 197-3, Hameed 107.

231-4, Hameed out for 117 (c&b).

 

[ToffeeTim]

A double century and a century in his last two matches.



Lancashire currently 197-3, Hameed 107.

Ashes maybe a bit too soon, but England badly need a solid opener. Good to see him back scoring runs.

....I think he got a 200 in the warm up game but was possibly batting at 3.
