Worcestershire 172 all out. Anderson 17-5-25-5.

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Lancs are really a first division team having to undergo a wasted season playing second division nobodies in abysmal mismatches, a severe punishment for falling through the trapdoor by the finest of margins last season.

We also suffered greatly by having Anderson, Buttler and Jennings away with England for most of it.

Tbf Surrey suffered similarly and were still champions, what a marvellous achievement that was for them, and testament to their real strength In depth.

England World Cup squad fifteen heavily leaked to the press

As posted on here yesterday by a few of us it's

Liam Dawson in for Joe Denly

And

Jofra Archer in for David Willey

So

My probable eleven : Roy, Bairstow, Root, Morgan, Buttler, Stokes, Ali, Woakes, Rashid, Archer, Wood

plus Vince, Tom Curran, Plunkett, Dawson

....80-3. 50 could be a decent first innings lead.

Edit; 86-4.

Lancashire finished on 88-5, luckily night watchmen Jimmy was the man out.

 

[summerisle]

Much as expected.

....155-5, just 17 behind thanks to a much needed partnership. Hope i’m not putting the mockers on it, as it appears to be a wicket that you’re never truly ‘in’ on.

Nice to see Livingstone getting some runs after giving up the captaincy. Lancashire 170-5, Livingstone 55, Vilas 35, trail by 2.

 

[Eggs]

....acceleration but Vilas out 186-6. Need Livingston to ride his luck and somebody to stay with him.

Was looking OK,but now making 200+ would do.
